ABOUT OUR COMPANY
Enormous volumes of food waste disappear untapped into landfills and or incineration world wide, causing huge negative impact on our environment. This regardless the fact, that food waste represents a substantial green energy source, if collected and handled correctly. In addition to CO2 neutral methane, digestate from anaerobe digestion, is classified as a first class biological fertilizer with, all vital, all natural, nutrients kept intact.
Utilization of food waste is essential in production of renewable energy; however the industry is coming to terms with, and acknowledging that efficient pre treatment is a “bottle neck”. Current systems are insufficient, not meeting the needs of the industry and with technologies from other businesses, mainly pulp & paper.
Presently market trends clearly indicate that the industry is looking to acquire specialized equipment and complete systems from pre-treatment Purveyors that deliver in accordance with today’s needs.
Historically, food waste has been processed in close proximity to biogas plant and AD digesters. From logistical and economical reasons this practice is changing in favour of decentralized pre-treatment systems.
BIOSEP®
BIOSEP® – THE NEXT GENERATION PROCESS TO CONVERT FOOD WASTE INTO VALUABLE BIOMASS FOR BIOGAS PRODUCTION
BioSep® is a unique Pre-treatment technology that enables separation of Organic Material from plastics and other packaging materials in existing waste streams. The end product from this process is a virtually plastic free biomass suitable for anaerobic digestion for biogas production.
The BioSep® technology makes it possible to remove food packaging and other undesired materials without any human effort or pre-handling. This provides our customers with a process that cost effectively solves the pre-treatment and separation which is becoming ever more important while striving to achieve an efficient anaerobic digestion in biogas production.
BioSep® is the core component in our BioPrePlant® Systems. BioPrePlant® Systems are “All-In-One” systems that are customized to satisfy our clients every need. The “All-In-One” system enables acceptance of a wide range of feed stock from food waste, providing flexibility, consistency and minimal down time in the plant due to lack of raw material. At the same time our BioPrePlant® System stands for a unique and groundbreaking performance and quality in pre-treatment of food waste, with proven performance data previously unknown to the industry.
