From “waste” to value –
all over the world

Today more than ever, compa­nies are faced with rising waste disposal costs and legis­la­tion aimed at redu­cing waste while promo­ting recycling.

At PYREG, we have the tech­no­logy and inno­va­tive solu­tions to meet these deman­ding requi­re­ments. PYREG’s systems can convert your resi­dues into valu­able biochar and energy. At the same time, they offer a proven solu­tion that helps reduce your carbon foot­print and waste volume and sani­tise your residues.

World­wide Solutions

Growing Stock­holm Greener

In Stock­holm, Sweden‘s capital, green waste from parks and private gardens is processed into biochar in a climate-friendly manner. The parks and gardens depart­ment uses the biochar for the main­ten­ance of the tree popu­la­tion. During the produc­tion of biochar, excess thermal energy is released. This is fed into the local heating network, which supplies city apart­ments with rege­ne­ra­tive heat and hot water while saving fossil energy.

 ADVANTAGES

+ Better urban climate
+ CO2 Sequestration
+ Excess  thermal energy is used

SOIL PRODUC­TION IN Austria

The first biochar produc­tion plant in Europe was built in Austria in 2012. The aim of this compost and soil plant goes one step further than the mere disposal of biomass – their aim is to produce the best possible compost quali­ties and subse­quently the best possible finished soils for profes­sional users such as garden desi­gners. While beeing able to comply with the strict limits of the Waste Inci­nera­tion Ordi­nance, the mate­rial is constantly avail­able and deli­ver­able in consist­ently high quality. The plant operates 24 hours a day and produces about 1,000 kg of high-quality biochar per day. This biochar pioneer feeds the total energy (150kW), released during the carbo­niz­a­tion process, into its heat network – for heating and drying the feed mate­rial.

GREEN ENERGY PRODUC­TION, LOCAL HEATING NETWORK IN Switzerland

At IWB’s (Indus­tri­elle Werke Basel) own site in the Klein­hü­ningen district of Basel, inno­va­tive pyro­lysis tech­no­logy is used to carbo­nize previously unused, low-grade biomass such as green waste. The heat released in this process is used for the local IWB district heating network, and the biochar (550 tons annu­ally) is used as a soil condi­tioner in the   agri­cul­tural field. The CO2 stored in the biochar remains in the soil and is not released back into the atmo­s­phere. CO2 is thus actively removed from the cycle. The addi­tion of biochar contri­butes to the ferti­lity of the soil. It stores water, provides a habitat for important micro­or­ga­nisms and   binds harmful substances

 

ADVAN­TAGES

+ Trans­for­ma­tion from previously unused biomass into high quality Biochar
+ 550 tons of biochar yearly is used as a soil improver
+ 4,5 giga­watt hours of energy is used to supply 170 house­holds through the district heating networks per year

Recy­cling of water­borne litter

Polluted waters are a world­wide problem. Espe­cially in coun­tries without a govern­mental disposal system, this problem becomes an enor­mous sustaina­bi­lity and even health issue.
In order to reduce the mixed waste in rivers and waters, a solu­tion is needed that can recycle the waste without having to sepa­rate it first. The PYREG system offers just that. It is located right on site. There­fore, no waste needs to be trans­ported to distant inci­ne­rator plants. It can be recy­cled on site, without harmful CO2 emis­sions and without costly sepa­ra­tion. The first system will go into opera­tion in India in 2021.

Recycle resi­dual mate­rials an improve CO2 balance

The PYREG system enables upcy­cling of diffe­rent resi­duals into clean biochar. Through closed-loop mate­rial cycles, the sustainable and climate-friendly carbo­niz­a­tion-tech­no­logy contri­butes to the reduc­tion of CO2 emissions.

Sewage sluge recycling

During the carbon- ization process, the contained nutrients
of the dried sewage sludge are conserved. The sewage sludge is sanitized on site and is comple­tely recy­cled into a market­able (approved Europe-wide) phos­phate fertilizer.

DISPOSAL OF INDUS­TRIAL SLUDGE in China

Indus­trial waste mate­rial can be carbonized
without prior sorting. The resul­ting homo­ge­neous biochar can, e.g. be used as a filler in further inte­grated processes.

FRED HORTON; CEO

“Our vision is to co-locate biochar produc­tion at large sources of biomass feed­stock (bypro­ducts from Maine’s vast working forests), thereby driving a true circular economy, through the appli­ca­tion of inno­va­tive NetZero tech­no­logy. Using a proven process, we will use these forestry bypro­ducts to produce an end product that nourishes soils, cleans water and removes carbon dioxide from the atmo­s­phere, while simul­ta­ne­ously genera­ting rene­wable energy. To make this vision a reality, we have chosen PYREG as our stra­tegic partner. We are thrilled to be walking this path toge­ther and doing good – not only for the region, but also for the world.”

PETR HELL­MICH; DIREKTOR

“Water supply and disposal plays a key role in secu­ring peace, growth and prospe­rity world­wide. HST actively shapes envi­ron­mental protec­tion with solu­tion-oriented engi­nee­ring deve­lo­p­ments. PYREG plays a decisive role in this. Our project in Trutnov is an example of the successful imple­men­ta­tion of a future-proof green technology.”

PENG JIANG; MANA­GING DIRECTOR

 

“Our goal is to provide our custo­mers with a complete, effi­cient and cost-effec­tive solu­tion which conti­nu­ally creates an add value. By inte­gra­ting PYREG tech­no­logy at the respec­tive sites and making addi­tional use of
the bioen­ergy gene­rated, we have achieved this in a sustainable manner.”

“I have been working success­fully with PYREG for more than 10 years because their  tech­no­logy allows the use of this natural problem solver.”

CASPAR VON ZIEGNER; MANA­GING DIRECTOR

“As the leading marketer of EBC certi­fied biochar, we invest heavily in applied rese­arch and in the certi­fia­bi­lity of carbon sinks. In order to be able to guarantee our quality promise on a long-term basis, we have been success­fully coope­ra­ting with PYREG from the
very begin­ning. We curr­ently have three PYREG plants in opera­tion and will soon expand our capacities.”

AARON SASS­MANNS­HAUSEN; MANA­GING DIRECTOR

“Gentle carbo­niz­a­tion of the resi­dual mate­rials is the basis of our valu­able potting soil. We have chosen PYREG because their many years of scien­tific support and prac­tical expe­ri­ence give us great secu­rity regar­ding our sustainable product quality.”

CHRIS­TOPH ZIMMER­MANN; MANA­GING DIRECTOR

“Our custo­mers actively contri­bute to climate
protec­tion, as carbon remains contained in the soil for hund­reds of years (carbon sink). Over the course of time we have put three PYREG plants into opera­tion – what better proof can there be that we stand by our ecolo­gi­cally and econo­mi­c­ally sensible decision?”
