Document Boundary Statement
This Technical Design Specification defines module-level technical requirements, interfaces, testing, and warranty boundaries only; commercial risk allocation, financing structures, delivery arrangements, and lender requirements are addressed in separate contractual and financing documents.Manufacturing Classification Statement
This Technical Design Specification describes module-level requirements for an Advanced Circular Manufacturing subsystem and does not define or imply waste treatment, storage, or disposal activities.Near-Zero Design Intent
The Pregenesis intake system is engineered as a closed-loop manufacturing subsystem designed for near-zero emissions, near-zero discharge, and near-zero residual. This design intent is achieved through enclosed material handling, continuous negative-pressure operation, internal capture of all airborne particulates and vapors via the APS Capture Stream, and the absence of routine wastewater discharge or disposal pathways. Environmental performance outcomes are contingent on execution at commercial scale and will be validated through SAT and FPT procedures.This TDS defines the engineering requirements for the Pregenesis feedstock intake, receiving, and trough feed system. It covers Manufacturing Feedstock reception through the Truck Intake & Scale Airlock Building (TISAB — Module 0A), feedstock receiving on the Feedstock Ingest (Module 0B) with dual-trough material routing, and truck exit through the Exit Airlock Scale Building (EASB — Module 0C). Trough 2 walking floor connection to the T2 processing train (Module T2, detail in CBT-PRE-TDS-004) is also defined within this document boundary.
Together, Modules 0A, 0B, and 0C constitute the complete feedstock reception system upstream of the Pregenesis Shredder Train (CBT-PRE-TDS-003). The system is designed for 1,000 TPD (as-received) per trough, with full N+1 redundancy on all walking floor and conveyor equipment. Both troughs operate independently at full 1,000 TPD nameplate capacity. The TISAB and EASB buildings provide a 4-hour surge buffer at design throughput.
All three modules maintain a continuous negative-pressure boundary (–0.05 to –0.10 in. WC throughout the Feedstock Ingest; –0.02 to –0.05 in. WC at TISAB/EASB airlocks), ensuring air flows inward from atmosphere at all times. No routine atmospheric discharge occurs from any module in this group. The Atmospheric Protection System (APS) recovers all airborne particulates and vapors as product streams per CBT-APS-TDS-001.
2. Facility Context & Module Boundaries

3. Process Description
3.1 Narrative Overview
Trucks arrive at the TISAB, pass through a two-lane airlock with certified weighbridge, tip their loads on the Feedstock Ingest, and exit via the EASB mirror airlock. The TISAB/EASB airlock system maintains the facility negative pressure boundary at all times — air always flows inward from atmosphere. The airlock interlock prevents both the entry and exit doors of any lane from being simultaneously open, preserving the pressure differential. RFID transponder readers at TISAB entry capture truck identification and are matched to EASB tare weight for payload reconciliation.
The Feedstock Ingest contains two parallel troughs running lengthwise. Trough 1 receives Manufacturing Feedstock (MSW and tires); hydraulic drawbridges raise to allow rear discharge directly into the trough. A walking floor system at the trough base meters material to a lift conveyor feeding the Shredder Train. Trough 2 receives sludge and ash with identical architecture routing to the Trough 2 Processing train. Bay assignment via SCADA LED signage routes each truck to the correct trough based on load manifest data.

5.2.1 Feedstock Ingest Station Layout — 5-Station Design
Station Assignment — Locked Design (ECN-002, ECN-003)
The Feedstock Ingest is designed around five discharge stations. Stations 1–4 are trough tipping bays served by hydraulic counterweighted drawbridges. Station 5 is the Module 0D Liquid Biosludge Delivery Station — no drawbridge, no trough access. All station assignments are SCADA-controlled via vehicle type manifest flag at TISAB entry.
| Station | Tag | Trough / Zone | Vehicle Type | Manifest Flag | Discharge Method | Bridge |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Station 1 | DUMP-BAY-001A | Trough 1 — Lane A | Semi end-dump / walking floor, dump truck | SEMI-ENDDUMP · SEMI-WALKFLOOR · DUMP-TRUCK | Rear gravity discharge or walking floor ejection into trough | RAISES (end-dump) / DOWN (walking floor) |
| Station 2 | DUMP-BAY-001B | Trough 1 — Lane B | Semi end-dump / walking floor, compression truck | SEMI-ENDDUMP · COMPRESSION | Rear gravity discharge, walking floor ejection, or horizontal packing blade ejection via head-end opening | RAISES (end-dump) / DOWN (compression/walkfloor) |
| Station 3 | DUMP-BAY-002A | Trough 2 — Lane A | Semi end-dump / walking floor, dump truck | SEMI-ENDDUMP · SEMI-WALKFLOOR · DUMP-TRUCK | Rear gravity discharge or walking floor ejection — ash and sludge feedstock only | RAISES (end-dump) / DOWN (walking floor) |
| Station 4 | DUMP-BAY-002B | Trough 2 — Lane B | Semi end-dump / walking floor, compression truck | SEMI-ENDDUMP · COMPRESSION | Rear gravity discharge, walking floor ejection, or horizontal packing blade ejection via head-end opening — ash and sludge feedstock only | RAISES (end-dump) / DOWN (compression/walkfloor) |
| Station 5 | LBS-MNF-001 | Module 0D — Lane D | Liquid biosludge tanker | TANKER-LIQUID | Gravity drain or pump via 4-in. tri-clamp manifold — no trough, no drawbridge | N/A — no bridge |
Roll-off Trucks (ROLLOFF manifest)
Roll-off trucks are assigned to the head-end opening bay of the appropriate trough (Station 1 or 3 depending on material type). Container tilts at floor grade — same as compression truck head-end discharge geometry. Bridge stays DOWN.
5.3 Hydraulic Drawbridge System DUMP-HDB-xxx
Counterweighted Drive-Over Drawbridge System — Both Troughs DUMP-HDB-001/002/003/004
Design Concept
Trucks drive forward onto the drawbridge, which spans the full trough width. The bridge is the structural roadway over the trough. Truck stops, auto-chocks engage, then the entire bridge span hinges upward from the entrance-side pivot — exposing the trough below and allowing the truck dump body to raise rearward and discharge Manufacturing Feedstock into the trough. Drive-through operation — no reversing required.
Configuration
2 drawbridges per lane · 2 lanes · 4 drawbridges total. Troughs parallel at 24-ft centers. Each bridge independently operated.
Bridge Span
16 ft (4.88 m) clear span across trough. Bridge is the truck roadway; trucks drive onto and stop over the trough.
Hinge Location
Entrance side — pivot at the end from which the truck entered. Full span raises from this fixed pivot point. Exit/dump end rises to operating angle.
Operating Angle
45° nominal raise angle. Full span raises as a single rigid unit. Provides clearance for truck dump body to elevate rearward and discharge into trough below.
Counterweight
Factory-fitted counterweight balances full span + maximum truck load at hinge. Minimal hydraulic energy required for raise/lower cycle. HPU sized for counterbalanced load only.
Load Rating
80,000 lb GVW minimum; 100,000 lb design load — AASHTO HL-93 + 25% dynamic impact factor. Rated for fully loaded tandem-axle transfer trailer.
Structural Frame
W-section steel beams, hot-dip galvanized; AR400 wear surface deck; lateral wheel guides both sides prevent truck drift during approach and positioning.
Auto-Chock System
Automatic wheel chocks engage on truck-stop confirmation. Chock engagement confirmed via sensor before bridge raise is permitted. Chocks hold truck stationary during full raise/lower cycle and dump body operation. Chock release only permitted after bridge fully lowered and latched.
Rising Trough Curb — DUMP-RCB-001/002/003/004
Mechanical rising curb — mandatory rollback prevention. A steel curb plate, 10 in. (254 mm) above finished slab, rises automatically on bridge raise command — interlocked in series with the bridge raise interlock chain. Curb MUST confirm raised position (DUMP-RCB-POS-001 sensor) before bridge raise is permitted. Curb blocks any truck or load from rolling back into the open trough during or after discharge. Curb lowers only after bridge is fully DOWN and latched. Actuator: hydraulic or electromechanical; AR400 face plate; rated for 105,000 lb vehicle impact. Tag: DUMP-RCB-001 (Trough 1A), -002 (Trough 1B), -003 (Trough 2A), -004 (Trough 2B).
Raise/Lower Cycle
<60 seconds full travel (0° to 45° and return). Hydraulic actuators sized for counterbalanced load; smooth acceleration/deceleration profile to prevent load shift.
Trough Interlock
Adjacent bridge on same trough — hard interlock prevents simultaneous raise. Both bridges on opposite troughs may operate simultaneously (independent HPUs, independent interlocks).
Safety — Personnel
Laser curtain / photo-eye array confirms no personnel in trough zone beneath bridge before raise permitted — Class IV per ANSI/NFPA 79.
Safety — APS
APS extraction rate increases automatically on bridge raise signal. Trough zone maintained under negative pressure during full open dump cycle. Bridge may not remain raised >15 min without confirmed APS capture.
Emergency Stop
E-stop pull cords on both sides of each bridge at grade level; mushroom-head E-stop at each HPU station; SCADA alarm logged with timestamp on any E-stop activation.
CAPEX (per trough pair)
$600K–$1.2M per trough (2 bridges) — custom fabrication with counterweight system; performance-specified per this TDS [Class 2 ±15%].

13. TRL / ERL / IRL Assessment
DOE Cooperative Agreement — Industrial Feedstock MCR Mode
Carbotura has applied for two DOE Cooperative Agreement grants covering use of Coal Mine Tailings, Coal Energy Plant Ash, WTE Ash, and Critical Materials and Minerals (CMM) as primary feedstocks — up to 100% by mass — with MSW blended at variable ratios for Island Mode energy self-sufficiency. This program utilizes the identical Pregenesis and Regenesis equipment with different feed rates and operating recipes (Industrial Feedstock MCR Mode). Commercial proof-of-concept and DOE co-funding will advance the system TRL from 8 toward 9 across all feedstock categories. Enhancement Admix equipment (SHRD-EAS, SHRD-APZ, SHRD-LWF) is primary equipment in Industrial Feedstock MCR Mode.
