Research and development
AGRO-EKO spol. s.r.o. since 1999 until now has invested the sum of tens of millions crowns from its own resources into research and development projects. Our company plans such investments to further development of new technologies and technological processes in the processing and energy use of bio-degradable waste also in the very future. The research and development of our own technologies is also made in follow-up activities.
ACTUAL
1.Research, development and verification of the technology of heating up the pyrolysis reactor by the produced gas and its utilization for power generation in the cogeneration unit.
Program project at MIT R&D FR-TI1/409, 2009-2011.Pyrolysis reactor is a compact All-In-One device (4 reactions take place in one particular area: heating, gas conversion, splitting and the formation of water gas). Production technology delivers energy use from bio-waste, biomass and other traditional fuels by refining on the electrical energy while minimizing the impact on the environment. The technology can be applied especially to producers of biological waste and biomass, such as cities, municipalities, farmers and forest managers.
2.Research, development and verification of the technology of processing the bio-degradable waste in large-area aerobic fermenters BEWA.
Program project at MIT R&D FR-TI1/411, 2009-2011.BEWA device is designed for processing large bio-degradable waste producers with over 10 000 tons per year (municipalities, pulp producers, etc.). The utilization of waste heat originally boosts the final drying process of compost, biofuel respectively. In the EU there is currently no large-scale equipment for such processing of all the types of bio-degradable waste by the aerobic fermentation. BEWA device will be able to process all organic waste types of the European Waste Catalogue under the standards and sanitation temperatures.
