Janicki Omniprocessor Converts solid waste into clean drinking water and
electricity 22,700 gallons/day3
300 kW net electricity2
16 US households
How it Works
Heat solid waste in furnace and separate boiling water
Burn dried solid waste to power “steam cycle”
Steam cycle produces electricity to power water purification process
Excess electricity output to grid
