About StakeTech
The Company
StakeTech solves environmental problems by supplying the pulp
and paper and specialty chemical industries with cleaner
technology and by providing recycling alternatives to the
steel and foundry industries. StakeTech has developed, owns
and markets a proprietary technology called Continuous Steam
Explosion, enabling the substitution of low cost raw material
for the production of pulp for paper, food additives, and
specialty chemicals. Our Barnes Environmental International
division provides specialty products and services to the steel
and foundry industries.
Proprietary Technology
StakeTech's Continuous Steam Explosion technology provides
industry with a new low cost and environmentally friendly
route to such products as pulp for paper, cellulose derivatives
for food application, and specialty chemicals The Company's
system uses high pressure steam to free the cellulose from
materials such as wood, straw and sugarcane bagasse. The high
temperature of the process eliminates or greatly reduces the
requirements for using chemicals associated with current
industrial practices.
Why Is It Unique?
The uniqueness of the technology derives from the Company's
specialized equipment that can continuously inject fibrous
materials into a digester pressurized at between 200 to 450
psig with high pressure steam and then explode the product out.
No other equipment is able to do this.
What Does It Do?
The main components of fibrous materials, such as wood and
straw, are cellulose and lignin. In nature, the lignin acts
as a glue and binds the cellulose chains together. In order
to utilize these fibres, it is necessary to separate the lignin
from the cellulose. In the past, it has only been possible to
break the bonding between the cellulose and the lignin through
very expensive and highly polluting chemical pulping processes.
The StakeTech process can break the bond between the cellulose
and the lignin using only high pressure steam - this is the
breakthrough.
The Company is focusing on marketing this technology in three
main areas:
High Yield Pulping from non-woody material
Fractionation
Cellulose Derivatives
