GUELPH, ON, Dec. 8, 2020 /CNW/ - BIOREM Inc. (TSXV: BRM)
("Biorem" or "the Company") today announced the successful
completion of two research projects for the mitigation of volatile
organic compounds from complex industrial gas emissions. Both
projects were to assess and compare the efficacy of BIOREM's
enhanced biological processes against legacy abatement
technologies.
Historically, thermal oxidation or chemical scrubbing has been
utilized for mitigating complex industrial emissions. The high
operating costs, safety concerns and generation of secondary
contaminants all contribute to very large carbon footprints for
these technologies. Industry is currently engaged in the
pursuit of solutions that vastly reduce the climate change impacts
of their operations and looking for safe, cost effective and
reliable alternatives.
Late in 2019, in partnership with Samsung, BIOREM installed a
novel biological system at one of their semiconductor facilities in
South Korea. The engineering of
the process and equipment was completed in North America, while the procurement and
delivery of the prototype system leveraged BIOREM's supply chain
and manufacturing capabilities in China. With a year of operating data,
the performance of the system exceeded expectations and the unit
was purchased by Samsung to continue to mitigate process
emissions.
In early 2020, at the invitation of SABIC Innovative Plastics
(China)Co. Ltd. ("SABIC"),
BIOREM's North American and Asian engineering teams successfully
designed and implemented another novel application of environmental
biotechnology at a SABIC production facility in China. The system was designed to use
biological processes to remove gaseous phase emissions associated
with the production of specialty thermoplastics at the facility.
Performance on this demonstration project has also exceeded
expectations and is expected to lead to full scale implementation
of the technology.
"Both of these successful demonstration projects encapsulate the
strengths of BIOREM: innovative solutions; world-class engineering;
as well as resilient supply chains and manufacturing, said
Derek S. Webb, CEO of BIOREM.
They also demonstrate BIOREM's ability to work closely with
industry and government to develop solutions to address current air
quality and climate change challenges."
