21 Polish eco-technologies have a chance for global promotion
Top Polish environmental technologies have a chance for global promotion. 21 of them were selected in the second stage of this year's GreenEvo - the so called green technology accelerator of the Ministry of Environment.
Jury of the contest for the best Polish solutions in environmental
protection selected 21 out of 36 applications. Companies that have
developed the selected technologies will benefit from free training on
issues of technology transfer, strategic foreign markets and the
domestic market, and the principles of promotion.
After the
training, there will be another selection of companies - winners, whose
technology will be promoted abroad at trade fairs and exhibitions, and
through a network of Polish embassies and trade representatives. In last
year's competition 13 winning companies were selected.
This
year, three technologies have been selected for the second stage of the
competition have been submitted by one company - ZBUS-TKW Combustion
from Głowno (Łódź region). In the area of air protection, the jurors
selected burners reducing pollution by combustion of heavy liquid fuels,
biofuels and mixtures of petroleum-based fuels bio-fuel and water, and
the technology for thermal treatment of low calorific waste gases. In
the field of waste management, company proposed the technology for
energy recycling of biomass and municipal, industrial and hospital
wastes.
In the air protection category, qualified for the second
stage of the contest was Reduxco, - a catalytic converter improving the
combustion efficiency of hydrocarbon fuels developed by Dagas of Warka
(Mazowieckie region).
Two waste management technologies also have
a chance for global promotion. FuelCal developed by Multichem Eko from
Pyrzyce (Western Pomerania) allows the use of agricultural waste to
generate energy or for fertilization. The technology for microwave
treatment of hazardous waste developed by Aton HT from Wroclaw also
qualified to the second stage of the competition. The method allows to
dispose of asbestos, slaughter wastes and pollutants from the combustion
of conventional fuels, and reduces odours.
In the group of
technologies for renewable energy sources, the jury selected power
supply systems with fuel cell developed by APS Energy from Zielonka near
Warsaw, boiler furnace for combustion of granular fuel, so-called
pellets, developed by Fu-Wi from Elbląg, LTBS straw briquetting line
developed by POL-MOT Warfama from Dobre Miasto. Other second stage
competitors include biogas purification technology Biosulfex developed
by Innovative team PROMIS from Warsaw and electrical "firewall" in the
water, protecting the fish from entering hydroelectric facilities,
prepared at PROCOM SYSTEM from Wrocław.
Four solutions support
energy-saving: remote control for electrical appliances by APANET -
Andrzej Lis, Piotr Leszczyński from Wrocław, software supporting
optimisation of energy media consumption by the company NMG from
Bydgoszcz, solar lamp system by PPHU R. Macek W. Wichary from Zabrze,
and geothermal heat pump VATRA developed by WSK Kraków.
In the
category of water and wastewater management, 5 technologies were
selected: "PROTE fos" method of blocking phosphorus in bottom sediments
of water reservoirs using coagulants, prepared by PROTE Environmental
Technologies from Poznań, mixers for wastewater treatment developed by
Redor from Bielsko Biala, and hybrid sludge dryers by EKOTOP Roman
Sobczyk from Piła.
Also qualified in this group was
bio-mechanical technology used in container treatment plant, developed
by CTE Carbotech Engineering from Szczecin, and industrial waste water
treatment technology Chemadex from Warsaw company of the same name.
The
Ministry has created an accelerator, to identify innovative
environmental technology companies on the Polish market and promote them
abroad. The aim is to create GreenEvo brand, which will guarantee high
quality Polish green technology. Companies participating in this
competition will enjoy greater prestige and confidence in the global
market, according to the ministry. (PAP)
