Stifel's Michael E. Hoffman suggested North America must find an alternative that works, is scalable, is not subsidized, has a "favorable regulatory environment," and can be done in the next 10 years.

Silcon’s V2S is a mobile solution for the separation of manures and wet waste material into a dryer, baled solid and the liquid by-product. The liquid by-product can then be sent to the Silcon FMS for further treatment. The solid product is ready for transportation to a biogas or HTC processing plant. The process uses vibrating screens and vacuum pressure to separate the solids and liquids. Product Streams

  • Dried (30% TS) Solid - Ready to be baled and

transported to a biogas of HTC processing plant

  • Liquid by-product - Low total solids liquid, ready for

FMS separation

Advantages

  • Decentralized mobile unit
  • Produces a lighter, easily transported solid
  • Short assembling and dismantling times
  • Low emissions due to vacuum operation
  • High throughputs with low energy costs
  • 15,000 gal/hr to 52,000 gal/hr depending on

medium

This vacuum distillation process provides a solution to biogas and hydrothermal char plants by using waste heat from combined heat and power production to separate the nutrients from the liquid by-product. The end results are purified, distilled water and a nutrient rich pellet fertilizer. Product Streams

  • Ammonium sulfate liquor – Nitrogen based fertilizer
  • High nutrient slurry – concentrated liquid fertilizer or pelletized

fertilizer

  • Distilled water – Can be released back into the environment or

recycled into HTC

Advantages

  • CHP bonus using low-temperature waste heat
  • Volume reduction by 90% → less repository, fewer transports
  • Over 99.99% of all nutrients in the concentrate → high quality

fertilizer

  • Absolutely odorless by vacuum operation
  • Creates through multi-stage up to a gallon of water evaporation

per kW therm power

  • No unwanted by-products

The Volter combined heat and power unit is a sleek, modern, quiet, and complete CHP solution. The gasifier is built for wood chips but can be flex fitted for the use of bio-coal. The base Volter system is for 40kW of electricity production but can added to in parallel for higher electricity needs. Product Streams

  • Electric Power – 40kW
  • Heating Power – 100kW as warm water, 20kW as

warm air

Advantages

  • Scalable – The Volter CHP unit can be ran in parallel

for increased electricity needs

  • Offers an emission reduction add-on that reduces

NOx emissions up to 80% and CO emissions up to 90%

  • Capable of functioning indoors
  • Fully automated and remote controlled

The compact design shown below shows their optimized, compact design. The NOxBuster is easily added to the process allowing for a reduction of up to 90% CO and 80% Nox emissions.
