WANAN has possession of a technology which it has developed into its own proprietary recycling system. This system is called VersuTech, and WANAN believes it to be the future of recycling technology. Rather than simply dumping garbage or burning it like conventional waste disposal programs.
VersuTech combines different mixtures of solid and liquid waste with selected chemically engineered compounds to create new composite materials which can be reused for practical applications. Some of these applications include building materials, sub-bed and aggregate for road construction, compost, and highly concentrated briquettes to safely and orderly utilize the highest possible amount of space in the existing landfills.
The VersuTech facility begins with waste being harvested from the existing landfill, which is then shredded. This shredding breaks the materials down into a much fine substrate, this helps to ensure that a good mix is achieved between the waste from separate streams.
As the waste is then moved from the shredder to the mulcher, an equal proportion of liquid waste is added along with chemical additives to neutralize the PH levels of the waste. This liquid waste stream comes in the form of either wastes from the surrounding municipality such as liquid Slaughter house wastes.
Once the mulched waste has reached the proper consistency it can then be moved to a compressor, alternately, if the mulch consists of all organic materials it can be transferred to a holding area to create compost.
The compression process creates extreme heats which, in addition to reactive chemical agents, assists in the sterilization of the waste. As the waste is compressed, it is pushed through extruders which mold the waste into the desired end product, for example CMU blocks.
