Biotel offers an environmentally preferable method of managing discarded organic waste using simple and reliable technology to rapidly convert mixed organic materials, including Category 3 Animal By Products, into high quality soil amendment and fertilizer products.

The process complies with current UK Animal By-Product Regulations 2003, EC 1774/2002 and US EPA503 Regulations.

The Biotel Organic Solution is:

• More efficient and reliable than composting.
• Quicker, sturdier and less capital intensive than anaerobic digestion.
• Cheaper and greener than incineration or landfill

Its benefits include:

• Large quantities of mixed organic wastes, including Category 3 ABP are converted to end organic product in 36 hours.
• Pathogen kill is guaranteed in all output product manufactured, hence eliminating spread of disease.
• Plants can be designed to scale, dependent on waste material arisings.
• Site size required for significant tonnage throughput is small.
• Systems up to 20tpd are modular skid mounted for fast deployment on small sites.
• Biotel can be supplied as packaged unit for stand alone operation for operation in remote areas.
• Plant capital cost is low, development and installation time frames are short.
• Energy requirements and operational costs are low.
• The process is contained, meaning there are no odour emissions and no airborne disease transmission or vermin risks.
• The process has a small carbon footprint and low environmental impact.
• Uniform high quality products are manufactured to pre-determined specifications.

Together, Eko network companies and Biotel will be implementing organic solutions as part of a global strategy for sustainable development.

Through the work of our partners, there is today a unique open door to contribute and respond to the environmental, social, and economic challenges facing the people of Egypt.  Our dedicated team of experienced professionals, led by David Palmer Boyd and Dr. Magdy Kamel, has already succeeded to obtain contracts in has been working closely with government officials in developing lasting environmental solutions that work.

Eko EDGE Holdings International Pte. Ltd. Singapore (EEHI), operating through its related development company, Les EDGE Inc. of Canada, is working hard to implement Egypt’s first ‘zero waste’ solution.  This work will be built under a new subsidiary to be incorporated in Egypt – Eko Misr for Environmental Projects.

A recent study performed by the ‘German Technical Cooperation’ indicates that Egypt is losing out on an average of $500 million annually because of poor recycling capabilities.

Overall, municipal solid waste generation in Egypt is 20 million tons annually with daily amounts estimated at 55,000 tons. And this does not include agricultural and industrial wastes.

What the Eko network brings to the table are systems best equipped to provide viable and sustainable alternatives superior to land-filling or incineration. All the while, the Eko process maximizes the production of renewable energy and the creation of additional revenue sources.

It’s all part of the broader vision of empowering a greener future through lasting environmental solutions that work.

Ever present, constantly growing refuse dumps plague our villages, towns, and cities.
It is time for a change.

Landfills are filling at exponential rates and we owe it to ourselves and future generations to find a new solution.
Now, through a number of strategic alliances, Eko Edge proudly presents state of the art customized solutions for eliminating the waste epidemic.

Proven modular waste-processing units use gasification technology to greatly reduce the amount of waste by removing all stored energy and leaving behind metals and glass for recycling.

Also removed from the waste is any moisture, which can then be used directly for agricultural purposes.
The energy removed from the waste is then processed and turned into electricity and heat.
What is not released from the waste are the harmful carcinogens or cancer-causing elements released by other, less effective methods of processing waste – like incineration.

It is our corporate mission to provide only the latest and best technologically and financially feasible solutions, and in bringing the latest commercialized technology quickly and effectively to market, Eko Edge has secured financing for each piece of equipment provided.

The Eko solution is that answer for the waste crisis our planet is facing today.

Groups like Oeko-EDGE GmbH, Germany, are introducing cutting edge technologies to the European market as a means of providing ecologically responsible solutions to the problem of waste.

Today, wastes of virtually all kinds can be treated in a thermal process where no harmful gasses are released to the atmosphere and eliminating the need for landfills. Where massive amounts of power and resources are needed to treat waste by incineration, new gasification technologies demonstrate far superior energy efficiency. Not only in the production of electricity, but in reusing the energy for heating and cooling, green house food and fish production, bio products and pharmaceuticals, as well as clean water.

New gasification technologies even increase recycling as part of the recovery process because it uses low temperatures of 400 degrees celcius in handling the waste whereby items like glass and metals are not consumed. Inside the waste containers there are no moving parts and no slag remains – Such additional methods guard against particulate and toxic gases from polluting the environment. Emerging gasification technologies, like those employed by Oeko-EDGE, are also proving to be much more cost effective. And because many such systems are modular, they can be implemented effectively in both small and large communities all across the world… Perhaps even a community like yours.

In developing a comprehensive solution for Goa, EKO India is promoting health and well-being while removing the need for landfills through the implementation of various proven gasification technologies.

As the EKO Energy Network continues to grow, numerous companies are working together to promote renewable energy from waste solutions for the preservation of the environment.

Take a closer look. We’d be dumb to ignore these smart technologies:

1- Want to charge your cell phone as you bike to work? Nokia thinks it’s a good idea. Let’s not cross our fingers and trust that it will soon be accessible to most people at a low cost.

2- Check out these vertical farming techniques.

Leafy greens and herbs can be frown at room temperature indoors in urban environments where soil is replaced with a reusable cloth growing medium. The produce is clean, and needs no washing.

Plants are grown pesticide-free because of the lack of insects. Produce can be grown locally reducing transportation costs. Aeroponics also may save 80% of the water used by traditional agricultural methods and hydroponics.

3- Looking a bit like a lavalamp, the Latro Algae lamp uses living algae as its power source.

During photosynthesis, a small electrical current can be harvested from the algae, but a built in switch turns the lamp off if it is taking more energy than the algae need to live.

In order to work, the lamp needs sunlight, carbon dioxide (which you supply by breathing into the lamp), and water. The energy produced is stored in a battery so you can use the lamp at night.

4- Belkin has developed an outlet adapter that tells you exactly how much power you are using – expressed in dollars, watts or carbon dioxide. It helps by monitoring the reality of our power consumption. At a cost of about $30, this power-outlet adapter puts the knowledge of your power usage habits right in your face.

5- Bil Becker has been hard at work developing his Aerotecture turbine. They are said to be safer, more cost effective, efficient, quieter, and able to capture wind energy from multiple directions at the same time.

6- Unlike the bulky silicon panels that dominate the solar market, Nanosolar thin-film technology is light and extremely cheap to make. The key is said to be the manufacturing process: while other silicon panels need to be baked in batches, Nanosolar’s thin-film panels roll off like on an assembly line, as if from a printing press.

The EKO Energy Network groups applaud all those taking measures to pave the way for a clean-energy future that:

• Combats climate change;
• Creates renewed economies powered by green jobs; and
• Ends a dependence on oil and fossil fuels.

And in the wake of a Gulf oil spill, perhaps this would be a good time to rethink how we do things??
