OUR FUTURE MUST BE SUSTAINABLE
In today’s world, organic and non-organic wastes can be both a problem and an opportunity. As the problem of waste disposal continues to grow, so does the knowledge and the technology to create a sustainable waste management strategy. Many waste fuels provide excellent opportunities to create energy. However, such fuels can be complex and non-homogeneous, and a deep understanding of fuel properties and technologies are critical for success at every stage of the waste management process. DP provides a “one-stop shop” for waste-related projects – from initial waste processing to the responsible management of inorganic waste rejects in landfill. We are experts in waste to power conversion for multiple fuel types, and our solutions include the environmentally sustainable and responsible management of emissions. Our expertise in solid waste management ranges from waste processing to landfill remediation.

Our detailed knowledge and experience together with highly professional project management and dedicated teamwork will ensure the success of your project. DP CleanTech excels in providing the right total solution for your requirements, and delivering as promised.
DP’s superior combustion solutions represent the consolidation of over 30 years’ experience in the industry. DP is acknowledged as the leader in straw fired combustion and offers the most advanced HTHP combustion solutions available. DP’s innovative culture has driven us to continually improve and extend our combustion capabilities and today DP solutions extend beyond the grate and boiler to include fuel feeding, automation and emissions management, all of which are integral to maximizing performance and minimizing risk. DP’s proprietary knowhow and design is behind over 100 biomass plants around the world and remains as a key pillar of our renewable energy business.
DP’s biogas technologies are based on the principles of Anaerobic Digestion, converting organic waste to biogas. DP offers 2 types of end to end, scalable, Anaerobic Digestion technologies - ADOS and DAD - for this process. Originally developed by leading Austrian waste specialist IUT GmbH, they are tailored to specific fuel characteristics and customer requirements; and are well-proven around the world. DP also offers superior organic waste pre-treatment equipment (MaxGas Pre-Treatment). Pre-treatment is essential for preparing organic waste for Anaerobic Digestion.
DP owns multiple, well proven technologies that address each stage of the modern waste management process. For MSW, DP has individual technologies for mechanical pre-treatment; organic treatment with anaerobic digestion and thermal treatment for energy recovery.
After initial collection, there are various options for the treatment of solid waste, and DP has the operational knowledge and technology knowledge to advise on the best available solutions for the situation. Valuable materials can be recovered, and remaining materials treated to become feedstock for conversion to energy. Through long experience of operating plants, DP knows the performance characteristics and the quality of different solutions, as well as the potential problems that may occur.
The management or remediation of existing, polluting landfills is fundamental to improving the environment and in maintaining suitable hygiene and safety standards for the community. The reduction of harmful gases, noxious odours and toxic leachates from landfills are meaningful steps in the drive for sustainability. There are many types of solutions for landfill treatment and rehabilitation, and DP has the expertise and experience to identify the right solution and execute it accordingly. Clients can draw on DP’s broad-based portfolio of services, ranging from initial investigation/feasibility, to remediation plans, management of the execution works, and the design, procurement and management supervision of treatments plants for the excavated materials.
DP solutions already include integrated emissions technology; however with increasingly strict emissions standards being imposed worldwide, additional or specialized flue gas cleaning technology is an important and necessary part of our portfolio. DP’s state-of-the-art Dry Scrubbing Systems can be effectively incorporated into most existing plants, or as part of a new project to ensure that such standards are met. Our flue gas cleaning team is based in the UK and it has extensive experience in redefining complex requirements in order to deliver specialized solutions.
A plant’s operational and financial performance is optimized by using appropriate levels of automation; and DP has designed and implemented an Advanced Automatic Boiler Control solution which controls the complete boiler process. By automatically regulating the boiler load and output, stable boiler operation is ensured. All DP plants incorporate a level of automation which enhances performance and reduces cost. However, automation as a standalone improvement for plants with minimal automation will minimise the number of staff ; reduce human error and significantly and positively impact the performance and lifetime of the boiler. DP offers advanced, customised and patented proprietary automation packages for integration to both new and existing plants; as well as providing the commissioning and operator training to ensure that the benefits are fully realised.
Gasification technologies form part of the DP portfolio for conversion of waste and biomass to power. Gasification technology is still relatively new but is gaining traction as it has certain benefits over combustion for particular fuel types. In particular, gasification technology is well suited to meet the increasingly stringent emissions criteria being imposed worldwide, particularly in relation to the MSW industry. DP offers Energos gasification technologies - developed in Europe - to address the particular requirements of the waste to energy conversion of MSW. Energos’ gasification solution is a leading commercially proven technology, with over 800,000 operating hours.
DP provides plant services and plant optimization for a range of existing DP clients. DP has also partnered with leading European companies Dublix Engineering and Tiska GmbH to provide an expanded and enhanced range of services to biomass and waste to energy plants in Asia. Their knowledge and technical ability in servicing plants from a wide range of suppliers is combined with DP’s knowledge of local fuels and operations to provide customers with options for efficiency improvements and extending the life cycle of their plants.
As rapid global economic development and increasingly complex industrial and agricultural processes have taken place, demand for water resources have increased accordingly. However, this has not always been accompanied by responsible water or waste water management, and the environmental and social impacts of negligent practices are problems that are occurring more often than they should. Water management and the safe treatment of water is strategically important for economic, social and environmental development, and the continuing development and use of technologies for water management and treatment are of huge importance to countries and industries around the world.
DP CleanTech designs and engineers a range of quality auxiliary and standalone products for biomass and waste to energy power plants. DP engineers have many years of experience in plant design and operational issues, as well as access to performance data from over 100 biomass plants worldwide. Using this valuable knowhow and information DP has been able to innovate new designs and modify existing equipment for optimum performance and deployment within DP plants; or with other manufacturers’ technologies. With DP’s experience in integration, automation and commissioning, these technologies are easily incorporated into existing plants or new designs.
DP Group and its partners are able to provide a range of capabilities to address even the most complex requirements for renewable energy projects.
