Bio-Industrial Product & Process Development

Our pilot-scale biogas services and facilities are generally unmatched in North America. InnoTech Alberta can offer testing and process simulation for various anaerobic digestion-related research, experiments, and materials.  

The group also has expertise in evaluating industrial projects from a technical design and operational perspective. Our service has a strong focus on greenhouse gas (GHG) and cleans fuel standard valuations and we are very familiar with syngas / renewable natural gas utilization processes and technologies. 

Thermo-Chemical Processing 

Thermo-chemical processing focuses on the use of thermal energy, mechanical energy, and chemical interactions to transform and combine materials. Very often materials that are residual in nature are transformed into higher-value products.  

InnoTech’s thermo-chemical services specialize in developing and deploying various pelletization, agglomeration, carbonization, pyrolysis, torrefaction, and hydrolyzation processes on a large scale. Our work in this regard is generally unmatched by other research organizations.  

Designer Carbon Development

InnoTech Alberta’s designer carbon service is focused exclusively on the development of high-value bio-based carbons generated from biomaterials and biomass feedstocks from Alberta-sourced agricultural, forestry, and municipal waste residue. 

The multi-disciplinary team is capable of operating batch and continuous pyrolysis equipment, conducting biochar product safety testing, and verifying biocarbon production methods.  A specialty area includes the development of biobased activated carbons suitable for use in supercapacitors and some battery electrodes.
