Explore use cases for Wilson Fibre®

The Wilson System® is a cutting-edge technology for processing municipal solid waste (MSW) and recycling organic waste streams, to combat rising landfill costs and methane emissions.

01

Wilson System® for Municipal Solid Waste Management

Our facilities are tailored to meet the unique customer requirements of processing unsorted municipal solid waste while efficiently recycling all organic materials. We successfully divert up to 90% of waste from landfills.

02

Wilson Fibre® for Biofuel and Biochemical production

Wilson Fibre® is a proven feedstock for producing ethanol, acetone, butanol, hydrogen, and other platform chemicals and liquid biofuels.

03

Wilson Fibre® for a Biochar Alternative

Wilson Fibre® can be pelletised and torrefied to produce biochar, a multi benefit climate solution that removes carbon from the atmosphere, improves soil, reduces emissions, and repurposes waste.

04

Wilson Pellets for Solid Fuel Pellets Alternatives

Our Wilson Fibre® | Wilson Pellets, can be used as solid fuel pellets,  that can be co-fired with coal in existing power plants, making it easier to transition toward cleaner energy.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What makes autoclave systems unique for processing waste?
    Our process is entirely contained indoors and eliminates the need for incineration, melting, burning, or chemical treatments. Autoclaves utilise high-temperature, low-pressure steam to break down organic materials. This process transforms the waste into an energy-dense cellulose fiber, known as Wilson Fibre®, which can be used to produce second-generation bio-products and biofuels. Non-organic materials, such as metals and plastics, are fully sterilised and then sorted for recycling.
  • What type of waste is processed by The Wilson System?
    The Wilson System processes unsorted municipal solid waste (household waste) and select commercial waste, without the need for changes to current collection or source separation practices. It does not handle Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste, liquid waste, or hazardous materials.
  • How does The Wilson System process and dispose of PFAs and PFOs?
    Our process captures and removes 99% of non-degradable PFAS and PFOS from wastewater, which is then purified and recycled through our advanced activated carbon filtration system. This process takes place entirely within our facility, ensuring that no water or contaminants escape into the surrounding environment. PFAS and PFOS are concentrated within the water treatment system and disposed of in full compliance with UK regulations. All automated systems are continuously monitored and controlled by our central control software. The only water emissions from the plant are safely discharged into the public sewer system via a fully enclosed process. PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and PFOS (Perfluorooctane sulfonate) are synthetic chemicals used in industrial and consumer products for their water- and grease-resistant properties. They are highly persistent in the environment and can pose health risks.
  • How does The Wilson System ensure effective toxins and odour control during operations?
    Our facility is under negative air pressure, preventing any odour from escaping into the air. We operate under close management and use Best Available Technology (BAT) to filter, clean, and recirculate the air. The process is completely enclosed so no water or toxins can escape into the ground or environment.
