US Department of Defense Environmental Technology Demonstration & Validation Program (ESTCP) announces Eco Waste Solutions project
BURLINGTON, ONTARIO, February 9, 2018: The US Department of Defense’s Environmental Research Programs has announced that Eco Waste Solutions has been approved to move forward with its Deployable Waste-to-Energy Convertor for Expeditionary Bases (DWECX) with Thermal Energy to Electrical Power System (TEEPS); a project in collaboration with Ethosgen and their teammate Rockwell Collins. Ethosgen will provide project management and system engineering while Rockwell Collins will provide detailed design and hardware for the integrated TEEPS.
“We’ve known for a long time that one of the major environmental challenges facing the Department of Defense is dealing with solid waste on expeditionary bases,” says Jean Lucas, President of Eco Waste. “Military installations often use open burn pits, which pose significant risks to the health of military troops, local populace, and the environment. Our containerized waste systems can solve this problem, as they are easily deployable, operate in extreme climates, and don’t create airborne health hazards. The ESTCP project gives us an opportunity to take this further and demonstrate a practical approach to small-scale power generation from waste.”
“This is a tremendous opportunity for the US military to position itself on the cutting edge of waste-to-energy technology,” says James Abrams, founder and President of EthosGen. “Successful small-scale waste-to-energy simply hasn’t been done like this before, and it could transform the way all expeditionary forces deal with waste.”
The ESTCP’s goal is to identify and demonstrate the most promising innovative and cost-effective technologies and methods that address the DoD’s high-priority environmental requirements. To ensure that demonstrated technologies have real impact, ESTCP collaborates with end-users and regulators throughout the process of development and execution. Demonstration results are subject to rigorous technical reviews to ensure that conclusions are well-supported by data.
The DOD has committed to addressing burn pit issues and meeting its operational energy objectives, but solutions need to meet requirements for mobility, simplicity and efficiency. Eco Waste’s partnership with EthosGen solves these challenges.
“Our containerized waste systems have been used on military bases around the world for more than 10 years,” notes Lucas, recognized for her work on small-scale waste-to-energy. “However, the challenge has been finding an appropriate energy recovery technology to integrate with them. Our Deployable Waste-to-Energy Converter for Expeditionary Bases (DWECX) with Thermal Energy to Electrical Power System (TEEPS) can do both – while still maintaining a footprint no larger than the 20-foot ISO container required by expeditionary forces.”

Here at Eco Waste, we’re spending the next couple of days carbo-loading, as we prepare for our climb to the top of the CN Tower to help raise money for the United Way.
Six brave souls from our office here in Burlington are getting up early on Sunday morning to climb all 1776 steps. Wikipedia says that’s the equivalent of 147 floors, but we’re trying not to think too hard about that right now.
Of course we’re always happy to do what we can to help the United Way, which supports so many organizations in the community.
If you’d like to support us, please visit our team page – or maybe just send some Voltaren gel to the office.
Not going to lie – we always have a great time celebrating Hallowe’en here at Eco Waste. And this year we even had a baby in a costume!
Our theme was ‘Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales’. Not entirely sure there’s an emoji fairy tale yet, but who cares – we had a lot of fun. Because we’re that kind of crowd.
Earlier this month, we attended the 2017 AUSA Annual Meeting & Expo in Washington, DC. It’s always a great opportunity to learn about some of the most cutting edge equipment and technology from around the world.
This year, we were especially pleased to be sharing expo space with Brazonics/Rockwell Collins, which specializes in the manufacture of aluminum brazed assemblies including enclosures, chassis, coldplates and heat exchangers for defense, aerospace and commercial industrial markets, and with EthosGen, which turns waste heat into electrical power and cooling capacity. Our businesses aren’t the same, but we’re all trying to achieve the same thing, which is to transform what’s usually called ‘waste’ into useful energy.
It was good to reconnect with some familiar faces at the conference, as well as to meet some new colleagues – we look forward to seeing you again next year!

About Eco Waste Solutions (EWS)
EWS is one of the world’s leading suppliers of modular waste conversion technology. Operating in the US and Canada, EWS delivers proven and practical waste management solutions for military and natural resource companies and remote communities, as well as bankable waste-to-energy solutions. EWS continues to set the standard for waste management technology in North America and worldwide.
From the latest DSIAC (Defense Systems Information Analysis Centre):
In cooperation with the US Army Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Army Research Lab (ARL) and US Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC), Eco Waste Solutions (EWS), http://ecosolutions.com, demonstrated a Deployable Waste-to-Energy Conversion (DWEC) system at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, on January 12, 2017. The event provided Government and industry personnel a first-hand demonstration of simple and effective destruction of waste as well as the production of hot water.
The DWEC evolved from systems EWS currently produces for military and civilian use and represents a more cost effective and efficient system especially designed or expeditionary waste disposal. Combined with the optional Heat Energy Recovery System (HERS), the DWEC produces a net energy benefit in the form of potable hot water for showers, kitchens, or laundry. The DWEC is a simple, easy to use, containerized waste management system that can be deployed for use at a forward operating base (FOB) to manage waste on-site without the air pollution and health effects of open-pit burning. The system requires less fossil fuel, has a lower logistical footprint, and produces a net energy benefit. The system had undergone previous testing by the Contingency Base Waste-to-Energy Standardized Testing Program of the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC) and ARL with the cooperation of the AFCEC.

The Waste Management Authority announced today that six (6) Developers were short listed for the VIWMA Integrated Waste management Project. A total of 12 firms responded to the VIWMA Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued on August 14, 2015. After careful review and evaluation of the qualifications packages by a team comprised of VIWMA staff, six (6) private developer teams were selected to participate in the next step of the procurement process.
VIWMA is soliciting the private sector development of an Integrated Waste Management Project using the waste streams currently available and regulated by the VIWMA on the islands of St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix.
The shortlisted developers will now participate in a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to compete to finance, plan, design, permit, construct, own, operate and maintain the most cost effective waste management facility which may include production of energy, fuel, recycled materials, and/or other products. The RFP, with the assistance of GBB, was issued October 9, and detailed proposals are due January 8, 2016. At this time, the ensuing Service Contract is anticipated to include a twenty (20) operating year term.
Selected Developers are:
ATSI
Caribbean W2E Conversion USVI, Inc.
Concord Blue
Eco Waste Solutions (EWS)
Oasis Construction Services
V Energy Group
The two landfills operated by the VIWMA are scheduled to be closed soon and this procurement process will engage a private developer to form a public-private partnership to help the VIWMA transition from a landfill dependent system to one that is integrated to address all of the waste management needs of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The Authority looks forward to receiving and evaluating proposals that will help reduce the costs of waste management and increase sustainable materials management activities.
