ECONWARD Biomak - High Solids Thermal Hydrolysis Pre-Treatment Technology for Organic Waste
Our unique, patented technology was designed for organic waste treatment. When the waste is received in a treatment plant, our Biomak equipment applies a thermal hydrolysis process using pressure and temperature to change the waste physical and chemical properties. Thus, the Biomak homogenises, hygienises and degrades the organic material delivering an efficient energy and material recycling to produce both a high-quality biogas or a class B compost. Due to physical degradation, the particle size is reduced, providing an optimal separation of non-organic materials.
By chemical degradation, the organic waste is transformed into a new material with multiple potential uses. It is a semicontinuous process, operating in 20-minute sequences, capable of treating 8 tonnes of waste per hour. Under specific and preset conditions, the process seeks to hygienise and homogenise the organic matter.
BIOMAK® transforms biowaste into a new material: a homogenised, hygienised and bio-thermally stabilised biomass with multiple applications and uses in the market.
The added value of our technology lies in the fact that we allow an efficient operation from heterogenous and pathogen-contaminated waste streams. Our process creates a direct bridge between waste management and renewable energy generation. We offer the best solution to transform a complex waste stream in a valuable resource.
In addition, we help the private & public sectors and the society to reach decarbonisation goals: implementation of our technology in a waste treatment plant prevents the emission of 10,000 tons of greenhouse gases (GHG), equivalent to the reduction in GHG that 2,700 hectares of forest would achieve.
Making the difference
Integrating the BIOMAK in a waste treatment plant entails substantial benefits:
- Higher treatment capacity in a very reduced space
- Scalable and modular technology
- Lower energy consumption as a result of a semicontinuous process
- Greater recovery of more than 90% organics and and more efficiency in other material separation present in the organic fraction
-
We obtain a stabilised, degraded, homogenised and hygienised biomass, ideal to enhance anaerobic digestion processes. The resultant biomass has more than 98% organic content. We significantly improve the performance of a biogas plant, at least doubling the biogas production. We improve the quality of the biogas obtained, with a 67% methane content
