Company Overview

Ensyn Technologies Inc., established in 1991, is the world's only constructor/operator of commercial facilities for the rapid thermochemical liquification of biomass wastes. Over a 10 year R&D effort, a unique liquification process, Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP), was developed and industrially proven. However, RTP is not an incineration process. In a closed system, lignocellulosic materials are heated very rapidly in the absence of air causing a breakdown of their polymeric structure to produce high yields of low molecular weight liquids.

Feedstocks which have been successfully processed by Ensyn Technologies Inc. using RTP include: forest industry residues (sawdust, shavings, bark, sludges), agricultural wastes (straw, bagasse, rapeseed cake), food processing residues (coconut shells, apple pomace, cellulosic casings), dried municipal sewage sludge, non-recyclable paper products (boxboard, Asian cardboard), and urban/industrial wood wastes (pallets, crating, root/stump residues).

Products generated from the bio-liquids depend on the specific feedstock being processed but can include: specialty chemicals (food flavorings, pharmaceuticals), binders (adhesives, road stabilizers), preservatives, road de-icers and co-polymers (structural foams, plastics). The char by-product can often be further processed to yield quality activated carbon for wastewater treatment.

The bio-crude liquids are suitable as a direct substitute for fossil fuels in a wide range of applications. They can be direct-fired in boilers/combustors/kilns a well as used to fuel large stationary diesel engines and gas turbines for co-generation of electricity.

Ensyn Technologies Inc., builds, owns and operates its plants (RTP). Ensyn will accept feedstock at its plants and deliver its products to its customers.

Products

• Conversion To Liquid Fuels/Chemicals Via Ensyn's Rtp Process.

  Ensyn provides total industrial packages for converting a wide variety of solid biomass wastes, including forest industry residues, non-recyclable paper wastes, agricultural and food processing residues, RDF, etc., to value-added marketable products. Lignocellulosic wastes are dried, ground and thermally depolymerized to yield a light, free-flowing liquid product that can displace fossil fuels either in direct firing of combustors and boilers, or in stationary diesel engines and gas turbines for co-generation of electricity.

  RTP plants produce no aqueous effluent and conform to local environmental criteria by utilizing by-product fuel gases and char internally to provide the thermal energy required for the conversion process. Based on long-term contracts, Ensyn will raise capital, acquire permits, construct and operate plants, typically in modules from 100 tonnes/day capacity.
