SEEDA award for PpTek
Having successfully completed initial research and development into the viability of extending their regenerative filter technology to removal of H2S (Hydrogen Sulphide), PpTek have been awarded a grant through the SEEDA organisation to continue to develop the product through to a production unit.
PpTek will be working with Sussex University who are leaders in the relevant field and will allocate significant resources to complete the work during the summer of 2008.
John Hayward, PpTek’s Director of Chemistry said “Our customers have been asking us for some time to develop a solution that can be regenerated on site in a similar way to our Siloxane filters. The cost of raw material used in current H2S removal solutions has risen to the extent that most customers are spending £50,000 or more a year. First indications indicate the running cost of our solution would be a fraction of that cost. This grant gives us the opportunity to hire more R&D resources to complete the initial work we have already started some time ago”.
Bill Cowing PpTek’s Commercial Director added “Most customers who have both types of contamination in Landfill and STW BioGas would like to get a packaged solution of regenerative filters from one supplier. PpTek’s leading position in the Siloxane removal market gives us the lead position in this combined market. We expect to be talking to customers in the autumn of 2008 about beta sites for the first machines”.
