thermal depolymerization technology - Innovation Scorecard

My thoughts : Best treatment for slaughter house waste in my opinion. sterilization of material (like an autoclave) with energy recapture.

Innovation Scorecard: "It sounds too good to be true -- and indeed, some observers say the thermal depolymerization technology is far from proven. (Appel fielded a call in 2003 from a Securities and Exchange Commission investigator concerned that the company was hyping its science in advance of an IPO. No offering was planned, then or now.) But on a small scale, it shows remarkable promise.
CWT's secret to innovation? It thinks inside the box. 'We look for where we can take advantage of existing infrastructure,' says Appel. Some alternative energies such as hydrogen fuel cells and biodiesel, he points out, require customers to adopt new machinery and practices. But 'you can't alienate the people with the existing infrastructure. That's a self-serving boutique mentality.'
Instead, CWT engineers look for ways to innovate within existing systems. The company's fuels are designed to burn in today's boilers and engines, while leftover materials are ground into farm-ready fertilizers. CWT also applies in-the-box thinking to smaller logistical practices. 'Seventy-five percent of my team is focused on optimizing,' says Appel.'Is there a better pump to pump the fuel? Is there a better heater to heat it? Can we do it better?' "
