About the Acquisition
Eco-Tec has acquired rights for the Apollo Environmental Systems
Limited's technology. Included in the agreement are multiple patents for,
and acquired knowledge of, specific applications to purify methane and
other gases. The recovery and purification process allows gases produced
through anaerobic digestion to be used for power, steam, or heat
generation. This energy recovery results in dramatic reductions in
greenhouse gas emissions.
About the Technology
Biogas is a mixture of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and is
often contaminated with toxic quantities of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The
technology is a biogas scrubbing process for the removal of H2S and
particulate matter from biogas as it is produced. Using a patented, high
efficiency gas-liquid contacting process, H2S is absorbed and the gas is
purified for reuse in power generation facilities, cogeneration facilities,
boiler units, and other heating applications.
About the Applications
Eco-Tec proudly presents a product that effectively and economically
purifies gases produced through anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion
processes take place in facilities such as: municipal waste treatment
plants, landfills, food processing facilities, and livestock farms. Each
facility type has various levels of H2S, and all can be easily and
economically removed from the produced biogas with Eco-Tec's new system.
Synergistic Invention
Born out of the ingenious minds from the University of Toronto's
Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry, the biogas
scrubbing technology joins other Eco-Tec innovative technologies, such as
Recoflo(R). All of Eco-Tec's products offer high purification and recovery
in a simple package with proven reliability. The key characteristics of the
newly acquired technology provide a synergistic addition to the product
line, offering economical solutions to address industrial operating needs
and sustainable development.
