The Science of Surface Carbon

Our core process is a patented thermochemical process that operates in a narrow, low-temperature regime below 200°C to transform mixed heterogeneous polymers into a new substance called EGS-6™.

EGS-6™ is a refined carbon material: the first commercially produced engineered carbon derived from surface polymer sources.

This base material is then processed into multiple product streams: enhanced composite lumbers and building materials, polymer powders (bioplastics), and high-grade engineered fuels to substitute coal.

Our process is akin to manufacturing and completely avoids the emissions profile of high-temperature alternatives while producing a consistent, processable base material that can be directed into multiple product streams.

Our process is protected by over 100 issued patents and represents a distinct approach to thermochemical processing, fundamentally different from combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification. The process can produce valuable materials, functioning as a manufacturing process rather than a disposal method.

The Rhino is a modular, ISO-container-scale system designed for industrial deployment. Each unit processes mixed municipal solid waste at throughput specifications suitable for municipal and commercial applications. The platform is engineered for scalability: multiple Rhinos per site, multiple sites per region.

Manufactured to industrial standards, the Rhino 5000L represents the commercial embodiment of our process, built for reliability, maintainability, and integration into existing waste management infrastructure.
