In the United States (US), Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (SEER), a provider of environmental, renewable fuels, and industrial waste stream management services, has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary MV Technologies, LLC (MV) recently received multiple purchase orders totaling more than US$1.75 million for the design and installation of its proprietary H2S removal systems as part of a growing number of renewable natural gas (RNG) projects in the US.
According to a statement, the first contract, for approximately US$220 000 is for a dairy processor in Wisconsin (WI). The processor will utilize the biogas generated from their digester to fuel their on-site boiler. The installation of the H2SPlus system will allow the dairy processor to comply with their air permit while protecting their boiler from the harmful effects of H2S.
MV’s H2SPlus System will use SEER’s proprietary bioactive media (BAM) produced by SEER’s, SEER Environmental Media (SEM) division based in Texas (TX).
First installation in Minnesota
An order for a second system, valued at approximately US$470 000, was recently received for a dairy farm in the State of Minnesota (MN). This system, the first MV installation in Minnesota, will be installed at a dairy farm that has 2 000 heads of dairy cows.
The biogas generated from this dairy will be upgraded into RNG and injected into a natural gas pipeline. The RNG will be eventually utilized as compressed natural gas (bioCNG) for vehicle fuel.
These projects are strategic additions to the numerous agricultural biogas projects already in MV Technologies’ portfolio.
The dairy industry continues to expand its RNG production and MV’s multiple systems currently installed and operating at some of the nation’s largest agricultural biogas projects underscores the efficacy and success of SEER’s biogas treatment technology, said Tom Jones, President of MV.
While dairy-based RNG projects vary in size, scope, and function, most rely on a closed-loop system that continuously recycles products, byproducts, and resources on the farm for cost savings and efficiency.
Since all of these new operations across the country must condition the raw biogas, this trend bodes well for MV and its proven H2S removal technology and media, Tom Jones said.
Recycled containerboard and wastewater treatment
MV also recently received a ~US$300 000 purchase order for its technology to design and supply equipment from one of the largest producers of 100 percent recycled containerboard in the US.
This is the second project MV has supplied to this corrugated packaging company. MV worked closely with a large, international waste-water engineering consulting firm to meet the needs of this customer. This system will utilize Axens’ AxTrap granular iron oxide media. This is the fifth system that MV has worked jointly with this engineering firm.
Finally, a fourth purchase order, valued at approximately US$750 000, has been recently received for MV to supply an H2SPlus System at a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for an East Coast Municipality. In addition to supplying the equipment to remove the H2S, MV will design and fabricate a system to remove harmful siloxanes from the gas stream.
While difficult to predict with certainty due to operational variables, it is estimated the four systems will use more than US$350 000 of MV’s BAM or Axtrap media on an annual basis.
We continue to see growth in MV and are proud to have been selected as the H2S removal technology for these projects which reduce our nation’s carbon footprint, create renewable energy, and have an overall extremely positive impact on our global environment, said SEER CEO, John Combs.
The recent purchase orders and installations bring MV’s total installed nationwide base of operating systems to well over 100 and, once again, confirm the efficacy and efficiency of the Company’s proven technology.
With its many effective and successful installations of its MV technology solutions throughout North America, SEER is now well established as a growing ESG portfolio company in a rapidly growing sector. MV now has approximately US$3.5 million of current and active system and media supply contracts. This increase in purchase orders and outstanding bid requests early in 2022 highlights both the success of the technology and the robust market, ended John Combs.
