Pulse light sterilization

Claranor is a french cleantech company developing an alternative to chemicals and irradiation to eliminate bacteria from the surface of the cups and other closures. The company has developed a pulsed light technology. A voltage of 3,000 volts at the terminals of xenon lamps produces an intense flash of light and very fast with a biocidal effect on micro-organisms present on the packaging. This process, particularly ecological, replaces the treatments with chemicals or gamma rays, uses no water and no rejects or wastes or effluents and consumes little power.

biofuel

S3d is a french cleantech company developing and marketing equipment which enables on-site processing and energy recovery of organic waste. S3d offers “turnkey” waste recycling equipment in view of producing energy. Through an innovative process named Valorfat®, the company enables animal fat to be converted into biofuel. The latter may then be used in a cogeneration diesel engine to produce electricity and heat. Tests on the demonstrator are conclusive, and the efficiency rate remains close to that obtained with diesel fuel while NOx and particle emissions are reduced by 80%.
