IntroductionIntroduction

We have all played a part in destroying lives

and our environment.

There have been great debates about the Environment and Climate Change but little effective global agreement.

Waste produced and energy needed by people are not properly addressed and managed.

The Universal Peace Federation (UPF) agrees that there are available solutions through educating people about the benefits of being good stewards of our environment. Building sustainable communities and producing energy from waste are good examples of effective use of the environment that can help to restore human dignity and our damaged planet.

UPF believes that working together will make a difference. The task is great but the benefits are greater.

A sustainable community should provide the Basic Social Services (Health-Food-Education-Shelter-Water-Electricity) that profoundly influence the destiny of individuals and the society as a whole. It is a community that will be mostly self – reliant.

While the level of economic growth is important, community building should be patterned on sustainable growth levels that will take into consideration the fundamental rights of every human being.

The project concept encourages the unconditional sharing of knowledge and technology from western countries to developing countries. Education should focus on farming and technology that will provide food, shelter, energy and water thus opening opportunities to learn and earn.

Development should take into consideration the productive potential that is beneficial for all. Financial institutions that are willing to help should have a bilateral interest based on the convergence of respect for human rights, respect for families as the backbone of society and respect for traditions. All objectives should be applicable to the best interest of the community and the environment .

Gas Clean up

Ph correction and filtration

Hot gas from the gasifier is quenched to condense out the tars and heavy oils.The gas then travels into the second chamber where it is washed And all liquids condensed and separated. The water is then extracted,cooled, ph corrected having retained the sulphur produces prior tobeing pumped back around the process
