Other Applications

The Problem

There are a wide variety of other waste types that IQ Energy can discuss with you. A few further examples are listed below but feel free to reach out to us with your own waste or energy challenges. We will be happy to assist you or help point you in the right direction from our experience. 

IQ Energy Solutions

Mixed & Contaminated Biomass

Both IQ Energy’s gasification and pyrolysis units have been tailored for a range of different biomass wastes, some of the current biomass discussions include pulp mill sludge, agricultural residues, and animal manures. Other discussions are focused on contaminated biomass, such as food organics that is contaminated with plastics. IQ Energy can approach these feedstocks as a single stream feedstock, blended/mixed feedstocks or as sequential feedstocks.

The unit on the right was piloted in Alberta, Canada. IQ Energy has developed a unique and cost-effective modular solution able to effectively recover 98% or more of the oil-based drilling fluids as clean and pristine reusable base oil; recover 95-100% of the water for reuse; and completely clean the mineral based materials (essentially rock from the drill bore) of all oil allowing the beneficial re-use or delivery to a non-regulated landfill.

This unit is a different design than our other carbonisation units and is tailored for the needs in the drilling industry for a cost effective and mobile at–the-rig process that can effectively and efficiently eliminate the current collect/mix/haul/store waste management practice.

Drill Cuttings

Both IQ Energy’s gasification and pyrolysis units can be used to process mixed waste types. These wastes can be converted into high-quality heat, syngas, power and other outputs depending on what the need is. With rising energy costs, there may be a perfect synergy between dealing with your rising waste costs and generating energy for your business/project.

Mixed Waste to Resources

Pyrolysis for Graphite and Hydrogen Production

Cost-effective hydrogen and graphite production through our pyrolysis unit is an area we would be happy to discuss with you as we continue to explore this application.
