HTC reactor
Our process begins in the HTC basin, where agricultural waste is subjected to high temperatures and pressure, transforming it into hydrochar and HTC liquor. Within this environment, complex chemical reactions occur, a process known as hydrothermal carbonization. Through dehydration, decarboxylation, polymerization, and other transformations, organic compounds are broken down into hydrochar and HTC liquor.
evaporation tank
Next, the HTC liquor progresses to the evaporation/condensation basin, where heat prompts the liquid to evaporate into vapor. In the condensation stage, the vapor is cooled, causing it to return to its liquid form. This essential step enables us to separate water from the majority of substances present in HTC liquor that may not be suitable for consumption.
carbon filter
The purified water undergoes further cleaning by passing through activated carbon, which removes any remaining volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as alcohols, sugars, or acids, that could pose a risk to health. Activated carbon acts like a sponge, purifying water by adsorption. As water passes through the activated carbon, contaminants are drawn to its surface and trapped within its porous structure. Once this process is complete, the water is thoroughly cleansed and safe for use.
solar panels
The Waste₂O reactor operates sustainably, powered entirely by solar energy collected from solar panels mounted on the truck's roof.
