Expired Fire Extinguisher Powder Recycling - Experimental Development Project

**PHOS循环实验开发项目调查了扩大规模的挑战，以成功地回收和回收过期灭火器粉末(EFEP)化学废物。**根据英国法律，每3年必须处理和更换灭火器。整个行业，过期灭火器的所有材料都被回收；(即，出售用于废金属、塑料和橡胶软管的金属圆筒可以回收)，但EFEP除外。根据法律，EFEP不能重复使用，因为它不能满足所要求的安全和性能标准。Phos Cycle为化学EFEP废流问题提供了规模上的综合解决方案。目前，EFEP被送往垃圾填埋场，付出了巨大的经济和环境成本，甚至更糟；被非法处置。EFEP废流的巨大规模突显了问题的规模；仅在英国和欧洲，每年就有大约98,000吨这种化学废粉被填埋。通过其专有过程，PHOS Cycle将EFEP废流转化为基于磷酸盐的工业价值流，因此。否定填埋对环境的负面影响。为我们的供应商降低相关的处置成本。将非法处置的诱因降至最低。为我们的客户提供传统磷酸盐产品的可持续(零碳)替代方案，目前这些产品是：*化石形成*开采*氨处理(展示高碳足迹)*基于进口的产品与伍尔弗汉普顿大学、格林威治大学和NIAB(国家农业植物学研究所)合作，PHOS循环项目将考虑各种化学和机械放大工艺解决方案，以从这种废物产品中回收有价值的成分，以便它可以重新规模化地回收到商业行业。随着一个已经投入运营的中试工厂和IP认证，PHOS Cycle和它的学术合作伙伴最适合解决该项目从TRL5转移到TRL 8的最终创新工作包。Phos Cycle的愿景是代表我们价值链中的英国公司，在工厂全面运营的头两年内，每年回收英国EFEP废流市场的80%。我们的项目旨在使英国成为灭火器粉末回收的创新中心：通过创新的解决方案和在英国成功的工业运营，解决全球废流问题。

**The Phos Cycle Experimental Development Project investigates up-scaling challenges to successfully recycle and up-cycle the 'Expired Fire Extinguisher Powder' (EFEP) chemical waste stream.**By UK law, every 3 years fire extinguishers are required to be disposed of and replaced.Industry-wide, all materials from an expired fire extinguisher are recycled; (i.e.metal cylinder sold for scrap metal, plastic and rubber hoses can be recycled) except for the EFEP. By law, EFEP cannot be reused, as it fails to satisfy the required safety and performance criteria.Phos Cycle provides a comprehensive solution at scale to the chemical EFEP waste stream problem. EFEP is currently sent to landfills at a great economic and environmental cost, or and worse; illegally disposed of.An indication of the scale of the problem is highlighted by the sheer size of the EFEP waste stream; approximately 98,000 Tons of this chemical waste powder is land-filled annually in the UK and Europe alone.Through its proprietary process, Phos Cycle converts the EFEP waste stream to industrial phosphate-based value streams, thereby1\. Negating the negative environmental effects of land-filling2\. Reducing the associated disposal costs for our suppliers3\. Minimizing the incentive for illegal disposal and4\. Providing our customers with a sustainable (zero-carbon) alternative to conventional phosphate-based products, which are currently:* Fossil formed* Mined* Ammonia processed (exhibit high carbon footprint)* Import based productsWorking in collaboration with the University of Wolverhampton, University of Greenwich and NIAB (National Institute of Agricultural Botany), the Phos Cycle project will consider a variety of chemical and mechanical up-scaling process solutions, to recover the valuable components from this waste product so that it can be recycled back into commercial industries at scale.With an already operational Pilot Plant and IP certified, Phos Cycle and it's academic partners are best suited to tackle the final innovative work packages for the project to move from TRL5 to TRL 8\.Phos Cycle's vision is to recycle 80% annually of the UK EFEP waste stream market within the first two years of full-scale plant operation on behalf of the UK companies in our value chain.Our project aims to make the UK the innovation center for the recycling of fire extinguisher powder: A global waste stream problem with the innovative solution and successful industrial operation in the UK.
