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

Carbon Removal and district heating

Carbon Removal and district heating Plant resi­dues are processed into high-quality biochar (1,700 t per year). In the process, the carbon contained in the biomass is captured and perma­nently stored in the biochar (3,200 t of captured CO2 per year). The gene­rated green exhaust heat is fed into the district heating network.

Produc­tion of soil

The first biochar produc­tion plant in Europe was built in Germany 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.

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.

Recy­cling of Agri­cul­tu­tral Residues 

Upcy­cling of diffe­rent resi­duals (e.g. agri­cul­tural waste and wood­chips) into valuable biochar, which can be used as soil condi­tioner in arable soils. In addi­tion to impro­ving the quality and quan­tity of the crop, the green energy gene­rated can be used locally.

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.

DISPOSAL OF DIVERSE BIOGENIC RESIDUES

This site utilizes a multi-mate­rial biochar tech­no­logy already in use world­wide for proces­sing a variety of waste streams. The sewage sludge system is used as a center of excel­lence for the produc­tion of biochar from various feedstocks.

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 are opening The Carbon Removal Park Baltic Sea in Greves­mühlen (Germany) in 2023 – the largest site of Novo­carbo. To be able to handle such a project and guarantee our quality promise on a long­term basis, we need a reliable tech­no­logy. Ther­e­fore we have been successfully coope­ra­ting with PYREG from the very begin­ning. This new site is only a next step on the way.”

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?”

Dr. Elke Selle­ring (sales manager Eliquo Tech­no­lo­gies GmbH)

 

” How do I treat sewage sludge correctly? This ques­tion is of crucial importance for modern waste­water treat­ment. On the one hand, the disposal of sewage sludge incurs high costs. On the other hand, it can be used as a valuable energy and nutrient resource.
In this context we were looking for a partner and found it in PYREG. Toge­ther we offer the plan­ning and realiza­tion of a sustainable sewage sludge utiliza­tion concept with inte­gra­tion of our sewage sludge dryer ELODRY®️ and the PYREG®️ carbo­niza­tion plant – with inte­grated holi­stic heat reco­very and utiliza­tion concept.
This was imple­mented for the first time 10 years ago at the Linz Unkel waste­water treat­ment plant. This was followed by further projects in which we successfully coope­rated. Since then, we have been jointly offe­ring custo­mized plant concepts for muni­ci­pa­li­ties as partners.

With Pyreg, you meet the United Nations SDGs
(Sustainable Deve­lo­p­ment Goals)

The sustaina­bi­lity goals set by the UN are not only rele­vant for compa­nies that report accor­ding to inter­na­tional stan­dards. They define a shared respon­si­bi­lity for all compa­nies along their own supply chain and mate­ria­lity.
PYREG tech­no­logy closes the loop and seques­ters CO2. Meet the requi­re­ments of the UN SDGs today instead of waiting for tomorrow!
