Modern design is a key word in the newest generation of biowaste management, water purification and biofuel plants. For example, Preseco Oy has engaged an industrial design company to develop a new, sleek product line that also is more efficient and environmentally friendly than conventional facilities.

The facility’s exterior can be of great importance, especially if the plant is placed close to a residential area.

“To my knowledge, we are the first company in the industry to actually design our products so they are not only nice to look at but also easier to manufacture and service”, says Mikko Kantero, managing director of Preseco.

As a result of this new thinking, the company has partly switched over to using flexible polythene as a raw material instead of traditional stainless steel.

“This means that the production itself is also more environmentally sound because it uses much less energy than before. In addition, products made of polythene are easier to recycle.”

Turnkey projects

Preseco has experience from hundreds of water purification plants and a growing number of waste treatment plants using the company’s accelerated drum composting (ACU) technology and anaerobic digestion accelerator (ADA) biogas technology.

“Our products fulfil all new requirements for safety and the environment, and thus no further treatment is required. I would also like to emphasize the importance of our modern design, since it’s likely that facilities will be located in visible places close to residential areas”, says Kantero.

Due to Preseco’s wide array of products, the company is able to offer complete solutions combining biowaste management, water treatment and biofuel production.

“We are one of very few in the industry that can combine all these competences into one solution. Thanks to our technologies, the plants can be built and run in a cost efficient manner. This is important, as increasingly stringent environmental legislation makes traditional waste handling methods increasingly expensive”.

Preseco’s core products:

• The ACU technology was designed specifically for local use such as horse stables, small towns and food processing businesses. It works automatically without odours, runoff, insects or noise, is environmentally safe and fulfils all new requirements. The drum composting plant can therefore even be placed close to a residential area.

• The ADA biogas technology enables utilization and treatment of very different types of waste and separation of metals, sand and other heavy material from the organic matter. The plants produce green energy that fulfils all EU requirements, which makes them eligible for emissions trading.

• The water purification plants and equipment are always designed and tailored for the site in question according to purification targets and incoming water quality. Thanks to their compact size, construction costs remain low. Preseco emphasizes the biological phase of the purification process to minimize the need for chemicals.

• The biodiesel technology makes it possible to locally produce environmentally friendly biodiesel from all vegetable oils and nearly all animal oils. The newest processor model to be launched this year has a capacity of up to 16,000 litres per day./ins

Preseco in brief:

Preseco Oy is a rapidly growing private European environmental technology company with over 20 years of experience in waste processing, water purification and biofuel production.

Environmental technology isn’t exactly famous for its good looks, but as Preseco’s new line of products show, the plants and equipment can have a modern look and still offer better technical qualities than conventional facilities.
