New Applications

The entire Supercritical Water Oxidation process is operated in a pressurized (< 250 bars) high-temperature (250°C < T < 580°C) liquid phase. The addition of an oxidant, notably oxygen, allows the conversion of organic matter to be controlled by adjusting the temperature of the reaction.

This concept offers solutions to different societal issues, including:

Managing End-of-life Composites

The challenge is to manage composite materials used in aeronautical and spatial applications, and also those used in the nautical sector and in road and railway transport.

The salient feature of the Innoveox technique is to enable the transformation of the organic matrix exclusively into carbon dioxide and water, and to enable the recovery of the organic (polyamide, Kevlar, carbon) or mineral (glass) fiber with its initial mechanical properties. The fiber can thus be reused for its support properties.

Energy Production or Byproducts From The Biomass

The challenge is to replace fossil fuels and all chemical processes associated with them with renewable energy. The salient feature of the Innoveox technique to be able to treat the biomass to produce, on the one hand, thermal or electrical energy according to the size of the unit, and on the other hand bio-fuels or byproducts for the chemical industry by controlling the conversion of the organic matter.
