Yield Energy Inc.
www.yieldenergy.com
Yield Energy has secured the North American rights to a proprietary AD solution (www.Fitec.com) that can process expired and packaged food waste and organic waste streams with higher levels of physical impurities.

There is a need to remove the contaminants (glass, bones, metal, plastic, plastic bags) prior to and during the AD process to produce the highest yield of biogas and cleanest digestate (end product). Yield Energy achieves this by being able to utilize and process higher contaminated feedstocks than in use today, allowing for greater feedstock flexibility that generates higher tipping fee revenue.

The Dupps Food Waste Depackaging System separates organic from nonorganic materials, including packaging materials such as plastics and paper. It’s ideal for turning food processing, supermarket and restaurant waste streams — and any other food items suitable for recycling — into profitable, value-added product. A heavy-duty shredder and a specially designed screw press processes waste food and packaging, separating the nonorganic solids from viscous food waste. A washing drum cleans fats and other organic material from removed packaging. The Dupps Food Waste Depackaging system provides feedstock capacity up to 350 cubic feet per hour, depending upon material composition, all in a compact, easy-maintenance design.
