Dotan-Lysis
Our innovative Electric Cell Lysis technology will have an enormous impact on organic waste to energy systems as it increases biogas production and successfully removes odors and pathogens.
Description
Historically, attempts to perform cell lysis using electricity have required large amounts of power; as such, the ground breaking innovation of this technology is the ability to achieve cell lysis with less than 3 watts per gallon on average. This minimal power requirement is orders of magnitude less than competing technologies (i.e. combinations of heat, pressure, mechanical shearing, chemical lysing, and/or high-voltage electrical pulses), which keeps the parasitic power demand low and improves the economic viability of the application. There are no other known cell lysis technologies that perform to this degree of efficiency.
What makes it different
The electric cell lysis technology has been previously applied on anaerobic digesters of farm waste, animal waste and municipal wastewater with success. The technology works by producing precisely shaped electrical pulses within treatment tubes through which waste liquids are passed. These electrical pulses disrupt ionic bonds, rupture organic cells, accelerate biological processes, and kill pathogens within the treated waste liquid. We have received multiple patents and continues to further develop the IP with additional filings as well as restricted know-how.
Historically, attempts to perform cell lysis using electricity have required large amounts of power; as such, the ground breaking innovation of this technology is the ability to achieve cell lysis with less than 1 watt per litre. This minimal power requirement is orders of magnitude less than competing technologies (i.e. combinations of heat, pressure, mechanical shearing, chemical lysing, and/or high-voltage electrical pulses), which keeps the parasitic power demand low and improves the economic viability of the application. There are no other known cell lysis technologies that perform to this degree of efficiency.
