Title
M.E.T.T.S. - Infrastructure Development & Resource Management
Description
Activities have been concentrated in Australia and South East Asia (with particular reference to the Philippines), where packaged power plant concepts are being developed to utilise local mixed fuels in environmentally responsible ways. A major proposal was prepared in 1993/4 for the management of Cebu's solid wastes with power generation from those wastes. The project attracted promises of funding from equipment vendors, and a development bank, as well conditional support from Australian Government agencies. The project was shelved when difficulties were encountered with finding a site with secure title for the plant.
The company is dedicated to the integration of research with industrial development. An example of this type of activity was M.E.T.T.S.'s management and leadership of a major industrial research project that involved the combustion of natural gas at elevated temperatures. The project was called Radiant Tube Technology. Other participants were, The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ceramics) and The Australian Gas Light Company (gas technology). The project attracted considerable funding from the Australian Government's Energy Research and Development Corporation
With respect to waste disposal, M.E.T.T.S. favours combustion systems that produce clean emissions, whilst providing useful energy recovery. Fluidised Bed Combustors (of the atmospheric bubbling variety) are viewed as being a proved technology that offers the possibility of utilising many of the low specific energy bio-fuels and indigenous fossil fuels. Reasonable energy conversion efficiencies can be obtained using such technologies, with minimum environmental damage. The operation and maintenance of such units and the associated generation equipment, can be carried out by local technicians and engineers after short training courses.
