Germany | Clyvia Inc. headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, announces that its wholly owned German subsidiary, Clyvia Technology GmbH, has entered into a contract for the production of 5 CL 500 processing installations to be based on Clyvia GmbH’s fractional depolymerisation technology. The contract, with Oeko + Bio Technologie AG, calls for the CL 500 plants to be designed for the purpose of processing used bilge oils produced by shipping boats on the Rhine river, and other forms of waste oil, into diesel and heating oil.
Oeko Bio is a company based in Stuttgart, Germany, that focuses on environmentally friendly energy technologies. Oeko Bio is currently in the process of setting up an investment fund to finance the purchase price for the CL 500 plants ordered.
Clyvia GmbH hopes to have the first plant commissioned sometime in April 2008, with the remaining four plants being commissioned sequentially thereafter. Clyvia GmbH hopes to have the last of the ordered plants online by the end of 2008. Once all five modules have been completed, it is hoped that the entire facility will be capable of processing up to 20 000 tonnes of diesel or heating oil per year.
The average volume of bilge oil generated by each inland waterway ship is approximately three tonnes, of which something like 15 % is pure waste oil. This is separated out by a special process directly on board the ship, so that it can then be made available for recycling. The process developed by Clyvia GmbH, which is similar to the cracking of crude oil, is ideal for this re-utilisation because it represents a form of energy recovery which is both economically viable and environmentally friendly, making it an excellent example of a sustainable cycle of recoverable materials.
