GENESIS
The Genesis Series is the largest and most powerful system in EDEN’s Waste-to-Energy (WTE) portfolio, designed for industrial-scale waste management and energy production. This series is ideal for large municipalities, industrial complexes, and countries seeking massive waste-to-energy conversion capacities. Like all of EDEN’s systems, the Genesis Series is modular, scalable, and powered by ADAM for optimized, 24/7 operation. The Genesis systems cater to the largest waste producers, delivering unparalleled energy recovery and sustainability solutions.
SIZE & FOOTPRINT
The Genesis Series ranges in operational capacity from 200 tons per day up to 5,000+ tons per day, depending on the configuration. Each Genesis system is built using at minimum four trains (a process line) of various sizes, including 50, 100, 250, and 500 tons per day trains. For example, a 200-ton/day system would typically use four 50-ton/day trains, while a 5,000-ton/day system would be composed of 10 - 500-ton/day trains. The required space scales with capacity, with a 200-ton/day system needing at least 50,000 square feet, and larger systems, such as a 5,000-ton/day system, requiring over 1.5 million square feet. These large systems are designed for extensive waste streams, making them ideal for large industrial plants, cities, or national waste management programs that need high-volume waste-to-energy conversion.
OPERATIONS
Genesis facilities are engineered for continuous, 24/7, 365-day operation, with no need for downtime under normal conditions. These systems will be controlled by EDEN's proprietary A.D.A.M. AI, which will use real-time data and machine learning to adjust and optimize performance. A.D.A.M. will monitor operational parameters to maximize energy recovery, reduce inefficiencies, and provide predictive maintenance alerts. This intelligent system ensures that even the largest Genesis units run at peak efficiency, making them reliable solutions for large-scale operations. As a modular system, the Genesis Series allows for seamless expansion into additional modules which can be added to scale the system as waste input grows. This design ensures each Genesis System is able to maintain 365-day operations; if maintenance needs to occur on one train, the facility will still be operating at 75% capacity.
CREW SIZE
A 200-ton/day system typically requires a crew of approximately 55 personnel for 24/7 operations. For the largest systems, such as the 5,000-ton/day unit, crew size can increase to over 200 personnel, with multiple shifts required to handle continuous operations. Staffing needs can be tailored based on the level of automation and operational requirements.
EASE OF CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE
As with EDEN's other systems, the Genesis Series is designed for ease of construction and maintenance. Only the tanks, vessels, and reactors are custom-built, while the majority of components are standard, off-the-shelf parts. This simplifies both initial construction and ongoing maintenance. The use of readily available components reduces the need for specialized parts, minimizing downtime and ensuring quicker repairs.
With ADAM’s predictive maintenance capabilities, the system can identify potential issues before they lead to operational delays, further enhancing uptime and efficiency.
PRICE
The price for the Genesis Series varies significantly based on the system size. The smallest unit, a 200-ton/day system, is priced at approximately $80 million USD, while the largest 5,000-ton/day system can cost upwards of $1.1 billion USD. The pricing includes full installation and setup, with optional customization features like fractionation systems. As with other EDEN systems, the A.D.A.M. fee for maintenance and optimization is 5% of the system's original cost annually, adjusted for inflation, ensuring continued support and optimal operation throughout the system's lifecycle.
