Pollution fighter makes carbon from waste in simple process
NORTH VANCOUVER CP Iain Davidson develops the Delta-Cameron Process for Destructive Distillation by Pyrolysis to convert organic waste into 98 percent pure carbon. The $23,000 prototype bakes tires and other refuse for up to 14 hours, yielding carbon and useful byproducts. Davidson estimates 10 to 1 carbon reduction and says a commercial unit handling 50 tons daily would require $400,000 and nine months to develop.
