Understanding Your Waste Stream

Conducting a waste characterization study is of the utmost importance in identifying and evaluating untapped recyclable recovery and energy potential, which ultimately leads to more savings and revenue.

In 2015, 137.7 million tons of trash reached our landfills (EPA), providing significant opportunities to recover more recyclables, compostable materials and/or implement waste-to-energy solutions, and produce many benefits:
  • On-site energy generation promotes energy independence, insulating facilities from electricity and gas price fluctuations
  • Potential to sell excess energy back into the grid "net metering"
  • Realize savings from avoided disposal and transportation costs
  • Minimize/reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
  • Fully understanding your waste stream leads to a least cost, best fit solution tailored to your needs

A number of incentives are available for on-site renewable energy generation, significantly reducing initial capital costs.

Mixed waste processing, waste-to-energy, process engineered fuel (PEF) and/or waste residue-to-energy are the primary focus of Mustang's projects.  Our holistic approach can be broken down into four categories:

Design and Engineering

Mustang’s years of industry insight and committed development teams have made it a top project developer for waste recovery projects nationwide.
To begin, we analyze the waste stream in question.  Its composition helps to determine the most practical and economical solution, based on the types of equipment required.  Listed below are the types of facilities we utilize:
  • Waste-to-energy facilities including: Anaerobic Digestion and Gasification
  • Single Stream Material Recovery Facility (SSR-MRF)
  • Mixed Waste Material Recovery Facility (MRF)
  • Compost Management Unit (CMU)
  • Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) processing equipment (i.e., size reducer, bag openers, shredders, trommel screens, optical sorters, etc.)
  • Combined Heat and Power (CHP) engines
  • Densimetric Table (DTable)
  • Landfill Gas Upgrading

Permitting

Permitting is a necessary and important part of the waste recovery industry. Mustang has a background in both waste recovery and estates, and a great depth and breadth of knowledge on a variety of permits. (View our About Us page for further information)

Mustang retains consultants and engineering firms, and works and coordinates with multiple local agencies, state and federal regulatory authorities to obtain the necessary permitting and entitlements. 


Contracts

Contracts contain our commitment to the Applicant, statutory regulations, investors and due diligence to vendors.  In order to ensure assets are preserved and that high service levels are maintained over the course of the Project Agreement / Facility contract provisions will include performance monitoring, financial monitoring, reporting and conditions of the facility. 

​Projects are a continuous process, based on site and permit constraints, project goals, cost/benefit analyses, economic feasibility, and tip fee sensitivity; adjustments are inevitable as waste recovery projects often require long-term contracts.

We update our project model continuously to ensure the proposed solution is the Least Cost, Best Fit, and Most Environmentally Sustainable option for that specific project. 

We support all requests for due diligence and further evaluation of our proposed solutions.

Project Financing

Financial support for projects can come from a single or multiple institutions, whether they are public, private or a combination. 

Mustang divides finances into capital cost, operating costs and income per annum.
  • Capital costs: infrastructure, design & engineering, legal fees, interest, development fees, financing, debt service reserves, insurance, etc.
  • Operating expenses: technology used, maintenance, taxes, utilities, etc.
  • Income per annum: comprised of tip fees per ton, carbon credits, and the sale of biogas, valuable recyclables, and compost.

Income/costs are variable to project circumstances (i.e. location, waste flow, composition, etc.).
