SEaB Energy’s FLEXIBUSTER™ was designed to disrupt the way we deal with waste and waste disposal. In the same way that the PC brought data processing power into our homes, the FLEXIBUSTER™ decentralises waste processing power and allows the customer to operate their own waste-to-energy generator using the waste on site as fuel. A significant part of SEaB Energy’s mission is to change how we globally think of waste: not as waste, but as a powerful resource.

Our award-winning and patented FLEXIBUSTER™ allows businesses and communities to process their own organic waste on-site and convert it into green electricity, heat, water and fertiliser; a unique format helping sites to adhere to renewable energy objectives while reducing the need for diesel-consuming waste transportation. The systems are factory-assembled and housed in shipping containers, enabling quick and low-cost delivery and installation anywhere in the world. The fully automated control system and remote monitoring capability allow simple and safe operation. With the FLEXIBUSTER™, waste become a valuable fuel, and carbon emissions from landfill sites and waste transportation to centralised processors become a thing of the past.

With SEaB Energy, we managed for the first time to pack the process of anaerobic digestion in a standardised, automated, modular and mobile piece of technology that allows true decentralised waste-to-energy processing. Though anaerobic digestion has been used to harvest resources from waste for many years at larger scale, the FLEXIBUSTER™ for the first time brings this process directly to the waste producers, allowing them to extract the valuable resources themselves and use these resources on the spot. The containerised packaging of the FLEXIBUSTER™ makes it quick and easy to transport and install, anywhere in the world.

The FLEXIBUSTER™ is designed to optimise the AD process, enabling high waste-to-biogas conversion rates. The limiting factor now is the biogas-to-electricity conversion: the current industry standard for the electrical efficiency of CHP units (Combined Heat and Power is 33%. Together with strategic partners, we are taking the first steps towards a next-generation CHP design that has high electrical efficiency (42% compared to current market standard of 33%).
