BioIstEn’s Patented Method and Apparatus
BioIstEn's Unique Process
• The core of technology is a proprietary method of creating a stable
fluidized bed in rotating horizontal drum. This solves a lot of problems of
complete waste to green energy recycling.

Competitive Advantages 1
• The technology allows to process
solid, liquid, gaseous and
heterogeneous waste in one device.
• The same device can use any form of
organic wastes: municipal solid
waste, commercial and / or
agricultural wastes, plastics, used
tires.
Competitive Advantages 2
• BioIstEn’s design allows to fill up the
horizontal drum to 80% while
traditional drums allow to fill only
30% and vertical columns can
process only fraction of our volume.
• This leads to much higher capacity of
compact plants.
Competitive Advantages 3
• The process can at any stage be easily
switched from a control panel for producing
different end products: heat, biological coal
or synthesis gas.
• That means we can produce energy carriers
in different forms: biocoal, syngas.
• Next stage - converting syngas into liquid
synthetic fuel.
Competitive Advantages 4
• The temperature and pressure during the
process are significantly lower than in other
technologies due to a possibility that
different catalysists can be used
simulteneously in one apparatus.
• This leads to reduced capital expenditures
and lower operating expenses.
The Technology Is Totally Green
• The only refuse of the process is
ashes.
• In case of processing biomass the
refuse can be widely-used as
agricultural mineral fertilizer.
Advantages convert into technical benefits
- Scalable technology (from 10 kW to x MWs).
- Mobile solutions.
- Versatility of biomass streams and end products.
- Low cost of installation (from €500/kW).
- Environment friendly (low or no tar).
Proof of Concept
• Technology feasibility was sucessfully
proven on 10 kW prototype.
• Charcoal, wooden chips and poultry
droppings were converted into
syngas, biocoal and heat within a
period of mere 30 minutes by
adjusting the device and method
accordingly.
