Our Technology

Balboa Pacific has developed the Bal-Pac Thermal Conversion Pyrolytic Gasification System, a continuous feed waste treatment technology. The process is the destructive distillation of toxic or non-toxic organic material, either solid or liquid substances, reducing the feedstock to a sterile ash and hot exhaust gases. The Bal-Pac Systems are not incinerators. Rather than burning waste, the Pyrolytic Gasification System thermally degrades organic material in an oxygen starved environment (pyrolysis) at temperatures from 800º F to 1200º F and then, through a closed conduit, the process gases are introduced to the Thermal Oxidizer with temperatures up to 2250º F. The ash produced is primarily carbon and stabilized (oxidized) metals. The hot gasses produced may be used for a variety of applications including co-generation. Several of the nation's leading environmental engineering companies such as Dames & Moore, Sandia Labs and Pacific Environmental Services have tested the process emissions from the decomposition of a wide range of waste material processed by the Bal-Pac Thermal Conversion Systems, with documented results declaring that the Bal-Pac System exceeds all standards set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Air Quality Management District (AQMD).
