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.
