who wish to see more organic waste
diverted away from disposal, and put
to better use. Most senior-level govern-
ments across Canada are pursuing
agendas of that type. At the same time,
biogas plants make 100 per cent renew-
able energy from those wastes, typically
in the form of either electricity or natural
gas.”
R&D
Bio-En’s technology is sourced world-
wide to construct the best system for
each client’s unique needs, while allow-
ing for the flexibility to maintain absolute
state-of-the-art offerings. “We’re very
happy with the system we are running
at our R&D plant today, but don’t expect
it to be the same five years from now,”
explains Taylor. “This is a rapidly evolving
sector, and our approach will continue to
allow us to select and blend in the very
best new ideas from a range of tech-
nology vendors from around the world.
There are always new and better ideas.”
For example, Bio-En has focused a great
deal of time and energy on processing
organic waste with more contaminants
(think plastic wraps, bottle caps) better
than anyone in the industry. “We are
routinely processing organic feedstocks
that come mixed with 25 per cent inor-
ganic contaminants and more,” says
Taylor. "And we use them to produce a
super-clean fertilizer that is approved
for use on Certified Organic farms in
Canada. We believe that our ability to
process organic wastes that are heav-
ily-contaminated with those kinds of
packaging and other inorganics, and to
produce from that a super-clean prod-
uct that is approved for use in Certified
Organic farming, is unmatched in North
America.”
Bio-En is positioned to continue its lead-
ing position in Canadian biogas. Its Elmira
facility will operate under its ownership
for years to come and, with a number
of such projects in the pipeline, Bio-En
looks forward to continuing to roll those
out, both as a vendor and as an owner/
operator. As the biogas industry contin-
ues to grow in Canada, watch for Bio-En
to lead the way.
