Ecomation -Organic Waste and Biomaterials
The process is naturally capable of efficiently turning organic waste and biomaterials into fuels, Biogas and Biochar and liquid products like wood vinegar. The process can be used for CO2 binding biochar production or for processing of for example sludge from water treatment plants. Sludge left over includes medical and microplastics that we do not want to be spread on our fields and into our ecosystem. These are completely removed in the process. The plants can be built for self-sufficiency, putting back the energy from the input material to the treatment process.
- Continues operation 24/7 (no cooling and reheating cycles)
- Zero emissions, no chimney (closed processes)
- Energy efficiency (250 kwh/processed Mt)
- Safety (maximum 5mbar operational pressure, no opening of equipment releasing oxygen to process)
- Process scalability
- Automated operation (minimized staff costs)
- Profitability (ROI commonly under 4 years)
Ecomation has since 2007 developed solutions to capture valuable raw materials from urban waste, with dry distillation (pyrolysis) technology. The challenge of the traditional processes has been safety, equipment life span, energy efficiency, emissions and operational profitability. These main challenged has been addressed through extensive development, testing, trial and errors, resulting in a number of global patents and prestigious awards.
