- MEKKER MEKKER – Valorization of food waste through the production of chemicals via microbial technology. Term September 1st, 2019 – August 31th, 2022 Project In a rising demand of new technologies, the focus shifts from dry to rather wet anaerobic fermentation of waste streams. These waste streams are typically the vegetables & fruit (GF) fraction. For […]
- Transfer of the ‘DRANCO-activities’ from OWS nv to its subsidiary DRANCO nv At the end of 2020, OWS was acquired by the Normec group. After this purchase, it has been decided to separate the biogas division (hereinafter referred to as ‘the DRANCO-activities’) from the lab division by contributing ‘the DRANCO-activities’ into DRANCO nv.
- CAFIPLA CAFIPLA– Combining carboxylic acid production and fibre recovery as an innovative, cost effective and sustainable pre-treatment process for heterogeneous bio-waste Term June 1st, 2020 – May 31st, 2023 Project In previous projects, significant progress was made in the development of a carboxylic acid platform (CAP) based on urban biowaste, culminating in the implementation of a […]
- CH4 from CO2 & H2 DRANCO nv has developed the MEGACO process as a solution for the growing imbalance on electricity markets due to the increased share of RES, while also providing a valuable CCU service (Carbon Capture and Utilization). The MEGACO process was developed on lab-scale and was validated on pilot-scale. DRANCO nv is currently looking for opportunities to demonstrate this new technology on an industrial scale.
- Integrating digester & tunnel composter in France The Ecocea anaerobic digestion and composting facility is expected to process 73.000 tons of household waste and 8.000 tons of green waste per year, with biomethane fed into an industrial natural gas network.
- Bourg-en-Bresse 2016 The latest flagship of OWS is situated in Bourg-en-Bresse, France. This plant is making clean compost from mixed waste, by means of the SORDISEP-process.
- DRANCO technology covered in Biocycle Magazine OWS is a leader in partial stream digestion. A full article was dedicated to this concept and our technology in the Biocycle magazine of November 2014.
- Degradation in other environments In case the product’s intended disposal route does not include industrial or home composting, other conditions need to be selected, representative for the environment in which the product will need to degrade after being disposed of. In this context, different environments can be selected, including soil, fresh water, marine water, anaerobic digestion or landfill. OWS […]
- DRANCO-FARM process OWS has developed the DRANCO-FARM dry digestion technology to produce renewable energy out of organic substrates such as energy crops, crop residues, agro-industrial by-products etc. The degradation of organic matter takes place under anaerobic conditions in a vertical digester. The degradable fraction is converted into biogas. The biogas can be used for the production of […]
- Feasability – Input material To assure that the input substrates will have no adverse effect on the process, several parameters need to be analyzed, providing a first impression of the suitability of a product for anaerobic digestion. Selection test In case the waste contains impurities (e.g. municipal solid waste), a thorough pre-treatment will be necessary. A selection test will […]
