Industry Day: Joint Deployable Waste to Energy, at Honolulu, HI February 29-March 1, 2016

Introduction: Providing energy and managing municipal solid waste (MSW) on small and medium sized contingency bases is a logistical burden and poses safety hazard to our warfighters. Primary Department of Defense (DoD) contingency waste disposal practices are no longer acceptable under new Congressional mandates and DoD policy. Contingency base waste contains useful energy not currently utilized. Technologies are available at various scales to manage and possibly convert MSW to energy, but they need to be developed for the specific requirements and concept of operations of our military’s small and medium sized contingency bases. The Joint Deployable Waste to Energy Community of Interest (JDW2E COI) is a community of government researchers, engineers, material developers, and operations specialist from across all U.S. military services who have their own individual programs in solid waste management and waste-to-energy. The JDW2E COI is a forum to share information and avoid duplication of efforts. At JDW2E COI Industry Day you will: -Gain an understanding of the unique needs of the military for waste to energy systems. -Have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with government representatives. The JDW2E committee encourages companies that meet the following criteria to apply. Note that these needs are not officially sanctioned by the DoD and are subject to change at any time: 1. Prototype system can be validated in a simulated environment and capable to be demonstrated at full-scale in an operationally relevant environment in 2 years 2. Design waste capacity up to5 tons per day 3. Maximize energy savings 4. Ability to process unsorted solid waste in the following composition(by dry weight) range: a. 15 - 45% plastic (all resin codes) b. 10 - 40% paper c. 15 - 20% cardboard d. 0 - 5% metal e. 0 - 15% wood f. 0 - 50% organics including food waste 5. Typically handle 30% moisture but capable of handling surges up to 50% moisture 6. Fit into multiple standard 20 foot ISO shipping containers (8’x8’x20’) 7. No single container can weigh more than 25,000 pounds 8. Complete system i.e. includes any shredding, pre-processing equipment etc., if required 9. Ease of assembly with minimal heavy equipment 10. Minimal labor to operate 11. Minimal operator skill JDW2E COI will brief participants and conduct an open question/answer session. You will also have the opportunity to sign up to a closed door meeting with the JDW2E COI. Publically available presentations from the previous industry day can be viewed at https://community.apan.org/wg/jdw2e_government_presentations Interested companies must RSVP with the POC by 18-December 2015 in order to attend. A response to this request does not guarantee any future procurement actions. This event is subject to cancellation or a change in location.
