- Biodigestors (covered lagoons, UASB reactors and contact biodigestor)
- Wastewater treatment plants
- Composting plants
- Ferti-irrigation systems


Ways of contracting

Phase 1: Feasibility study (First project phase)

Phase 2: Turn key project (including design, mounting, starting and three years of operation)

Option: Build systems under a concession framework (B.O.O.T.): when the feasibility study shows promising results and high profitability, BIOTEC as an operating company can position itself as an investor in the project.


Services

1. Feasibility studies (pre-projects) for effluent treatment and organic waste recycling/use.
   Objective of the study: hold enough technical and financial elements to assess if the project is profitable and technically feasible (biodigester, treatment plant, composting plant or ferti-irrigation system) 
    
2. Projects’ operation (treatment systems and biogas uses)
   BIOTEC is also a company which operates its projects. We offer to our clients four support options regarding system operation:
   - Full operation: BIOTEC endorses all the costs
   - Delegated operation: BIOTEC runs the plant with its own operators
   - Direction of operation: the project owner runs the plant under BIOTEC supervision
   - External consultancies during operation: BIOTEC brings support only when required
    
3. Consultancy
   BIOTEC can also conceive or assess local development projects based on the rational uses of natural resources: water and biomass (organic matter).

Set of lagoons (covered lagoons, facultative lagoons and infiltration sistems). EECOPALSA, Honduras, 2006

1. Covered anaerobic lagoons (with plastic covers) for treating effluent containing heavy organic load sat low costs. This system is particularly adapted to palm oil mills’ effluents or distilleries’ vinasse. Furthermore, the captured biogas can be used for electricity generation. 
   
2. Anaerobic UASB reactors for urban waste water treatment. They represent low investment, operation and maintenance (O&M) costs in tropical countries where average temperature is above 15°C all year long.
