Mobile Processing Units

The increasing amount of food waste produced around the world is a dire problem for the environment and the economy, especially concerning the food service and retail industries. The prevalent method of disposal, which is landfilling food waste, incurs costs in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and leads to the waste of precious organic materials. As a bio-environmental company with a focus on sustainable solutions, we have developed Mobile Processing Units (MPUs) which directly address the need for the on-site solution for food waste management without compromising efficiency.

Our Mobile Processing Units (MPUs) are containerized systems designed for bio-conversion and they holistically integrate food waste collection, storage, processing, and treatment. These modular units are designed for decentralized treatment facilities such as hotels, food markets, catering facilities, and other venues which have large streams of organic waste. Our MPUs are also capable of seamless integration into existing supply chains making them easier to adopt. With a processing capacity of 5 to 10 tonnes a day on average, these modular units are not only versatile, but they also provide a resilient means of treatment right at the site of food waste generation while concurrently reducing transport requirements and costs.

Technical Principles

The central technology utilizes the MPU's circadian destruction of organic matter into simpler biological elements and outputs complex nutrients. Organisms in MPU are categorized into aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms and decompose energy-rich substrates such as food waste within classified bounds. The BMP Part C separates complex carbs (stimulated by enzymes from aerobic bacteria) into stable, simpler nutrients, and primary output in the process to purify nutrients, is segregated into compost. The nutrients produced from the process can then be utilized as soil conditioners and remarked as putrescible bound. If employed, biogas production becomes a co-product alongside noted anaerobic digestion.

Technical Features

• Flexibility & Mobility: Simple transport along with relocation and installation is made possible with the containerized design.
• On-site Processing: Carbon footprint is greatly reduced due to the lack of transportation and is cost effective as well.
• Speedy Assignment: Prefabricated sections allow for fast construction along with quicker commissioning.
• Controlled Environment: Potential pollutants such as leachate as well as the odours are mitigated during biological processes.
• Scalability: If need be, additional units can be incorporated to increase modules.
• Automated Operation fill: Daily use slows down manual tasks to the machine allowing hands off work for the employees who tend to work outside the systems.

Technical Classification

Our MPUs can be broadly classified based on the primary biological process employed:

• Aerobic Composting MPUs: Utilize oxygen-dependent microorganisms for decomposition, typically yielding compost.
• Anaerobic Digestion (AD) MPUs: Employ microorganisms in an oxygen-free environment, producing biogas (a renewable energy source) and digestate (a nutrient-rich fertilizer).

The choice between these classifications depends on the specific waste composition, volume, and the desired end-product or energy recovery goals.

Application Areas

MPUs are ideally suited to a wide range of food waste generators, including:

Environmental Benefits

• Landfill Diversion: Significantly reduces the volume of organic waste sent to landfills.
• GHG Emission Reduction: Avoids methane emissions from landfill decomposition and reduces carbon footprint associated with waste transportation.
• Resource Recovery: Transforms waste into valuable resources like soil conditioners or renewable energy.
• Improved Local Sanitation: Mitigates odour and pest issues associated with traditional waste storage and collection.

Our Services
