Sustainable Biomass Energy production and utilization systems

  • Construction, and commissioning of retort charcoal kilns under ministry of energy and mineral development and UNDP
  • Piloting of Namibian charcoal kiln in Uganda under ministry of energy and mineral development and UNDP
  • Construction of domestic biogas plants under African biogas program ABP under SNV
  • Design, fabrication and training of user of charcoal briquetting equipment
  • Institutional (500 l to 50 l stoves) and domestic energy stoves for

Combined sanitation -Energy waste water treatment systems

We have developed onsite ecological DEWATS with resource recovery element.  Waste water is primarily treated in anaerobic toilets/biodigesters where methane gas is harnessed and additional treatment is achieved by natural UV radiation in soil infiltration trenches or in constructed wetlands as per site/soil conditions.

We have also designed conventional waste stabilization ponds, faucal sludge treatment plants, and associated sewerage pipe network.
