The Valencian company Ingelia, a world leader in the industrial development of HTC technology that allows the recovery of materials from organic waste, has closed the investment agreements for the construction of its first plant in Belgium. The Ingelia HTC plant is incorporated into the waste treatment process of the Belgian company Renasci, which has invested 55 million euros in its first plant in the Belgian town of Oostende, combining different technologies in an innovative process called Smart Chain Process. The project has support from the European Commission and from waste managers and local administrations and has been positively evaluated by the environmental agency VITO.
Renasci also has seven other projects in its portfolio where Ingelia's technology will be part of the process for transforming the organic fraction of waste into bioproducts. Ingelia's industrial plants allow the recovery of two of the products that the European Union has included in the list of critical materials, biocarbon and phosphorus, which once recovered from our waste are reintroduced into the production cycles, replacing materials of fossil origin, thus contributing to the circular economy and environmental protection.
The Belgian plant is currently under construction and will have four HTC modules. It will also incorporate other plastic separation technologies for biodiesel production. The plant is scheduled to be commissioned in March 2020.
Ingelia has thus consolidated its presence in Europe and its entry into the Belgian market with the installation of a first plant, the construction of which has already been put out to tender by the Flemish government. The project was presented last June at the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Belgium, where it was very well received by businessmen and investors in the area, within the framework of the “Spain Means Innovation” programme.
