Energy & Environment: Energy from Waste

Home > Markets > Energy & Environment > Energy from Waste

EU Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly more stringent, requiring waste production and disposal to be tightly controlled. The answer to reducing waste disposal issues and increasing use of renewable energy can be a reality.

We have identified, evaluated and developed a range of novel technologies to treat and manage waste streams, and in turn provide the ability to create valuable energy sources at the end of the waste management lifecycle, minimising environmental impact and support targets for renewable energy.

We have developed and tested waste management systems which ensure environmental compliance, within both the marine and land environments, and achieve significant volume reduction of the waste. The main development areas include treatment of black (sewage) and grey water, solid waste, food waste and oily water.

We are world-leaders in environmentally-responsible waste management systems.

QinetiQ reduces waste from Royal Navy ships

QinetiQ has developed an Integrated Waste Management System (IWMS) that enables ships to operate for up to six weeks without having to discharge waste materials. This dramatically reduces offload costs at ports and harbours.

IWMS also reduces the manual intervention needed in waste handling, which significantly improves health and safety standards.It is already being used in Royal Navy ships. Read More

Self-sustaining waste disposal for the US Army

The US Army’s introduction of the PyTEC Pyrolysis Waste Disposal System solution should provide a dramatic increase in sustainability and force protection.

- Lt Col Daryl “Rick” Harger, Product Manager Force Sustainment Systems, part of Program Executive Office Combat Support and Combat Service Support (PEO CS&CSS)

QinetiQ is developing a Pyrolysis Waste Disposal System for the US Army that can process up to 100 kg of waste an hour and reclaims some of the thermal energy generated. Read More
