Biomass Controls

We innovate ways to meet  21st century challenges

Who we are

Our mission is to offer control technologies and innovations to enable rapid refinement of sanitation, agricultural and food outputs to treat pathogens, reduce greenhouse gasses, sequester carbon and improve soil health.

Our vision is to become a world leader in decentralized, community scale thermal solutions that significantly impact our climate, quality of life and gender equality in served areas.

“According to estimates, the lack of proper sanitation costs the world an estimated $223 billion every year. Worldwide, it has been estimated that every dollar spent on sanitation on average provides at least five dollars in economic return.”

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Biomass Controls provides decentralized rapid nutrient recovery and treatment for green resources including, manure, textiles, food and excreta.  Biomass Controls patents are based on protecting the environment and returning nutrients to the soil. Our Biogenic Refinery provides thermochemical treatment of high moisture materials such as manures, human excreta, agriculture residues and food waste. Our services provide Design, Technology Adoption Support, and Impact Measurement.

Biomass Controls PBC was founded in 2015 in Connecticut as part of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Re-Invented Toilet Challenge. In 2018 we were chosen to participate in the Toilet Board Coalition Accelerator program for our refineries installed in India. In 2019 we were chosen to participate in the Manure Challenge Accelerator program based on our project work for hog and dairy cow manure processing. In 2020-2021 we were part of the Launch Alaska Accelerator program focused on cold climate applications for human and food waste safe disposal..

OUR PARTNERS

Green Waste Partners

Legacy management systems for food, and agricultural waste can produce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the digestion of organic matter. Through strategic partnerships, Biomass Controls has utilized the Biogenic Refinery and integrated kelv°n™ platform mitigates the creation of these GHG emissions by thermochemically converting the waste into a nutrient rich biochar, and calculates offset credits available to the operator.

SANITATION PARTNERS

Centralized management systems for wastewater treatment are very expensive and can produce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the digestion of organic matter.
