NEWS FROM COLOMBIA: Erection of the first G-F-S bolted tank for the UASB biodigesters of the CAME papermill.
Despite the Pandemic, works go on in Colombia. We expect tank erection to be finalized for Christmas, and UASB biodigester, with Gas-Liquid-Solids separators and all piping connections, to be finalized for Jan 31, so that biological inoculation can start in February.
PALM OIL INDUSTRY: EFB + POME co-composting:
An option to take advantage of the fertilizer value of both by-products (and get rid of 50% of the POME). BIOTEC implements a composting technology to process jointly EFB and POME, producing a well degraded fine and dry compost easy to spread on the plantation. The raw POME is supplying the nutrients, VFA and moisture required […]
FOLLOW-UP of the IGEM Expo: The Zero Discharge Milling (ZDM) concept:
This ZDM concept is developed and implemented by BIOTEC and SSP in the agro-industries of the Tropics. We attach the presentation of two specific technologies: ED: The Evapo-Drying, up to animal feed (applied specifically to Palm Oil Mill Effluents). BED: The Bio-Evapo-Drying, up to nutrients-rich powdered biofertilizer (for vinasses and POME: around 30% macro-nutrients). Especially […]
As a Belgian & Malaysian company
BIOTEC participated in the IGEM expo (International Greentech & Eco-projects Exhibition and Conference Malaysia) in Kuala Lumpur. We thank AWEX Belgium for the organization. For the first time in its history, this Exhibition was virtual. BIOTEC presented its new ZDM concept (Zero Discharge Milling”) applied to the palm oil industry.

Fertigation (ferti-irrigation) – The FORLIM system
All agro-industrial effluents have a fertilizer value.The “capture” of this fertilizer value is part of the DNA of BIOTEC since its birth in 1984, to improve soils, increase yields, save chemicals and reduce GHG.The biodigestion process presents the advantage of concentrating the nutrients vs. the dry matter.The three basic technologies that BIOTEC developed are:Fertigation (ferti-irrigation) […]

UASB reactor for papermill effluents in Colombia
CARTONES AMERICA SA (Cali, Colombia), called CAME, is a papermill producing 320 tons of paper per day from paper waste. CAME is a BIOTEC’s client in Colombia since 1991 when BIOTEC rehabilitated its WWTP (ETP), which main unit is a “UASB” biodigester. In March 2020, CAME asked BIOTEC to implement two additional UASB units to […]
Set-up of “POME Consultancy Sdn Bhd”, the new consultancy company for the palm oil sector, focused on EFB and POME valorization
BIOTEC opened a business line of CONSULTANCY SERVICES for the palm oil sector. Focus: The CPO business can not afford discharges to the environment. Both POME and EFB have energy, fertilizer and/or animal feed value. Why considering them as “waste”?Why sticking to the concept of ETP instead of building VALORIZATION PLANTS? For a 45 T/h […]
