Our innovative hydrothermal process ingeniously transforms wet organic waste into clean fuels and valuable minerals. By efficiently harnessing this technology, we not only achieve substantial cost savings but also make significant strides toward zero waste goals.
In the depths of the oceans, natural hydrothermal processes unfold under immense water pressure and the influence of geothermal heat. Over millions of years, these processes have contributed to the formation of fossil fuels within the Earth.
Drawing inspiration from nature's ingenuity, we've developed the Altent Hydrothermal Process, harnessing the power of accelerated hydrothermal phenomena for humanity's benefit. By fine-tuning process conditions, we optimize this natural process to expedite the production of valuable resources, offering innovative solutions to modern challenges.
The Altent Hydrothermal Process is a chemical process which utilizes the properties of water under high temperature and pressure to break down organic materials and separate minerals.
In this step, the solid particle size, water content, and solution homogeneity of the wet waste is adjusted to optimal levels. First, the wet waste is pulverized into fine particles. Then, recycled water is added if necessary. Finally, the solution is mixed thoroughly to ensure flowability and pumpability.
The pre-treated wet waste is heated and pressurized in our specialized reactor. Under our controlled process conditions, water becomes a powerful solvent, reactant, and catalyst in the Altent Hydrothermal Process. Here, the organic components are broken down into clean fuels and the minerals are separated.
In the final step, the fuel composition is adjusted depending on the final application and stored if necessary. Minerals are cleaned and processed for sale, while excess clean effluent water is discharged.
Our innovative process overcomes the challenges faced by current technologies and outperforms in all areas
High efficiency without energy-intensive drying
Large capacity with a small footprint
Recover N, P, K nutrients reducing resource depletion
Accepts a wide variety of wet feedstock and even wastewater
Effluent water fully meets environmental standards for discharge
Waste cost is recovered from the sale of products
We can handle a wide range of difficult waste streams from multiple industries.
Wet organic waste is organic waste with a high water content of more than 50% typically. Some examples are oil sludge, sewage sludge, food waste, and livestock manure.
Current waste treatment technologies are unable to realize the potential of wet waste, resulting in high disposal costs for companies. Many companies turn to illegal dumping to avoid disposal costs, causing significant environmental damage.
During continuous operation, our system utilizes the energy outputs we generate to power itself, making it self-sustaining. No external energy input is required once the plant is operational.
As engineers, we developed our technology internally guided by our technical advisor. Prior to founding Altent Renewables, we started off with a few conceptual ideas, followed by simple lab experiments to prove our theories.
We are always interested in collaborations, partnerships, or investments. If you would like to contribute to our progress, feel free to contact us for a discussion. We'd love to have a chat!
