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)
