For the second time in as many months, we have been shortlisted as a finalist in a prestigious industry awards.
In this case, it is the British Renewable Energy Awards organised by the Renewable Energy Association (R-E-A), of which we are long-standing members.
The Gala Dinner, which takes place in London on 13th June and is now in its 19th edition, celebrates the ‘game changing’ individuals and companies that are driving our transition towards renewable UK energy security and Net Zero by 2050. We are proud to be a member of this elite group and we firmly believe our ‘CR3’ high-sulfur spent carbon reactivation technology is not only unique within the sector, but it opens the door for biogas & biomethane operators to reduce their production of waste and further enhance their renewable credentials.
Here is the summary of our submission:
“Activated carbon filtration is widely used in the biogas/biomethane industry to remove hydrogen sulfide and VOCs.
Whereas ‘spent’ activated carbons can generally be recycled via thermal reactivation, this is often not possible in the biogas sector due to high levels of sulfur, which damages the internals of expensive reactivation kilns. These spent carbons are therefore considered as waste and are landfilled or incinerated.
After extensive R&D work, Puragen has developed a unique process allowing us to take back these high-sulfur spent carbons and recycle them at our UK thermal reactivation facility, saving thousands of tonnes of waste every year.”
Further details of our ‘CR3’ technology, which is the first of its kind in our industry and which has been commercially operational since H2 2023, please follow the links below to our recent blog, available in English and French:
