DENVER, May 23, 2017 -- SynTech Bioenergy, a Denver-based renewable energy technology company, is committed to delivering distributed clean energy through advanced thermal conversion of biomass and other wastes around the globe. The SynTech BioMax® systems are small, immensely scalable, easily transportable and affordable. In May, SynTech completed the installation of its newest facility which will convert pecan shells into electricity in Texas.

Five similar plants are currently operating on walnut shells in California, the first dating back to 2008. SynTech is on an aggressive growth curve, is preparing three additional units for a new California customer, and is well into manufacturing its first unit for the Japanese market.
BioMax® output is scalable from 165kWe to 1MWe and is modular, containerized, easily transportable, remotely operable and powered by a variety of abundant biomass including wood wastes (chips and pellets, etc.), nut shells (walnut, coconut, pistachio, etc.), fruit pits (olive, avocado, date, etc.) and a host of other readily available biomass feedstocks.
Heat created in the Texas process is used to dry the pecan shells, creating no waste. The only byproduct of the technologies is organic biochar, a soil amendment (fertilizer) which aids plant growth, reduces the need for irrigation and increases global food supplies.
SynTech’s closed-loop process eliminates problematic site-produced waste shell by converting it to distributed, continuous and uninterrupted base load electricity. This electricity powers the customer facility and any excess electricity is fed back to the grid.
From the feedstock entering the system to the electricity produced by the installed generator sets, the BioMax® system is carbon negative. Each system sequesters 1.07 ounces of carbon per kWh, amounting to approximately 35 tons of sequestered carbon each year, safely storing this carbon that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.
A growing global mandate exists for production of distributed, continuous and uninterrupted clean energy in the form of power, heat and liquid fuels. SynTech addresses this mandate while helping to solve some of the world’s greatest problems—diminishing natural resources, climate change, energy security, diminishing fresh water supplies, world hunger and increasing waste, and they do it by converting waste at the molecular level with advanced technologies.
