HBC Environmental Solutions’ Accelerated Carbonisation Technology (ACT) transforms organic solid waste and garbage into the rich hydrochar-carbon compound.

​

The system has been developed by a team of civil and mechanical engineers in Sydney, with consultants from Sydney University, Monash university Melbourne, Murdoch University Perth, and the Institution of Geomechanics Germany.

​

Our team has invented a reactor that converts almost any piece of organic waste - most items found in household or municipal garbage chains - through a process called hydrothermal carbonisation using Organic Carbonisation System (OCS). The environmentally-friendly waste processing method is a clean alternative to conventional, widespread landfill waste management (ie. burying garbage) and large scale waste incineration (ie. burning garbage).

​

What is 'Carbonisation'?

 

The Accelerated Carbonisation Technology has been developed by HBC and allows the OCS to function and be applied to waste, carbonising it into the OCS-Char (carbon pellets) byproduct. 

 

This technology is based on two main parameters: Combustion-free temperature up to 450°C, at pressure of max 10 bars; and, a catalytic design - a complex model that cannot be disclosed due to confidentiality of the unique invention.
