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.
ADVANTAGES
+ Top quality end product
+ Excess thermal energy is used
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.
ADVANTAGES
+ Recycle mixed waste in a sustainable way
+ Reducing the waste volume ip to 90%
+ On site recycling
+ Avoidance of Co2 emissions
+ Reduction of transportation costs

SEWAGE SLUDGE RECYCLING IN Silicon Valley
The vision of our US partner Bioforcetech – based in Silicon Valley – is simple: instead of trucking “waste” away, they offer the technology that can autonomously transform organics into value. In the US alone, over 100M tons of organic waste per year are sent to landfill, incinerated or land applied, creating environmental and health problems.
The treatment of biosolids from Sewage Sludge to biochar with great nutritional value is not only cost efficient, but also a sustainable solution to locally transform organic streams into renewable energy and biochar. Once used as a phosphate fertilizer in the ground, it helps to improve the environmental footprint by sequestering Co2 for centuries. While reducing the waste volume by 90%, the PYREG technology also offers a great cost saving.
ADVANTAGES
+ Transformation from sewage sludge to phosphorate fertilizer+ Reducing waste volume up to 90%
+ 90% less trucks
+ Up to 100% less energy consumption
+ CO2 Sequestration
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.
