Hydrothermal Processing

Flexible & Circular Technology

Hydrothermal deconstruction involves processing of waste into water, under high temperature (170-300°C) and high pressure (30-100 bar) with an oxidising agent (air or oxygen) to solubilise and break down the waste into simple, inert and valuable compounds.

Hydrothermal Deconstruction (HTD)

The deconstruction of hazardous waste with an organic foundation.

Hydrothermal Carbonisation and Liquefaction (HTD/HTL)

Transformation of waste into valuable solid and liquid organic products.

Advanced Thermal Hydrolysis (ATHP)

Pretreatment of stubborn organic waste typically impossible to digest anaerobically.
