21 Jul 2011
Cambridge, UK – Renewable energy technology companies UK-based Clearfleau and UTS Biogastechnik GmbH of Germany are to collaborate on developing the UK market for anaerobic digestion (AD) and related technologies.
Cambridge-headquartered Clearfleau offers low solids, closed loop digestion technology for low solids material and UTS systems process higher solids substrates.
The company is active in the industrial market while the focus for UTS is on agri-businesses, co-products and waste food.
UTS, part of the Anaergia group, will work with Clearfleau to exploit higher solids technology, particularly in the food processing sector, said a joint statement.
The German company is developing projects all over Europe, including the UK. Over the past 18 years, it has equipped more than 1,500 biogas plants, 175 of which were built turnkey - from small agricultural 100 kW plants up to large 4MW industrial plants.
Clearfleau provides AD technology for industrial effluents and is focused on the food, dairy and beverage processing sectors, treating their trade effluents and co-products.
The company is working on a number of food sector projects and built a plant for BV Dairy in Dorset. Funds for this project were provided by WRAP, under the Environment Transformation Fund to establish a food sector demonstration site.
