DMT Environmental Technology DMT is a professional partner for both industries and government, specializing in odour control, (bio)gas treatment and wastewater purification systems. Since the start of the company in 1987 several hundreds of projects have been completed. Through a network of agents, distributors and partners DMT is active in more than 18 countries all over the world. The company currently employs twenty people and has an annual turnover of around EUR 4 million.
Rising energy costs are focusing efforts by many industrial and municipal entities to find new sources of energy. (Bio-) gas upgrading systems are becoming more efficient and cost-effective, at times providing end users with a lucrative additional revenue stream. DMT has developed considerable know-how and experience in the specific area of desulphurisation of (bio) gas streams. At the waste water treatment plant (WWTP) Farfane in the city of Santiago de Chile, sludge is digested and biogas is utilized in boilers and gas engines. Prior to its utilization, the biogas is desulphurized by removing the H2S, a very poisonous and corrosive compound. For this purpose, DMT has developed the Sulfurex® gas desulphurisation scrubber. The DMT Sulfurex® desulphurisation process has proven to be very cost effective due to its low capital and operational costs. Other more traditional gas desulphurisation systems are not designed for smaller applications and can only be cost effective when applied on large or very large gas throughputs.
Sustainability gains
The investment associated with this project amounts to a few hundred thousand Euros. The utilization of biogas is an important positive contribution towards renewable energy and climate change developments. Within the project DMT provides on the job training to employees of the local partners in the application of its specialized technologies. As a result, local partners become capable to sell and service the DMT biogas desulphurisation plants. Consequently, more biogas projects can be expected in the near future.
Future export potential
The potential for biogas desulphurisation plants in South America is considered huge. More than 20 similar plants are expected in the years to come, apart from numerous other applications of biogas production such as the digestion of manure, green waste, anaerobic treatment of wastewater, etc.
