We are committed to the decarbonisation of the process industry.
A biogas plant produces CO2 natural gas and biological fertilizers from organic waste.
Biogas mainly consists of methane, CO2 and trace gasses such as H2S, siloxanes and various volatile organic compounds (VOC). After removal of the gasses, the liquid residues are refined down to a biological fertilizer.
Sparks assists our customers in reducing their CO2 footprint by switching from fossil based products to bio-based versions.
The combustion of fossil fuels emits huge amounts of CO2.
Most industries require assistance to comply with EU’s climate and energy ambitions. Fit for 55, the EU’s plan for a green transition, calls on reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by 55% within 2030.
At Sparks we assist our customers in reducing their CO2 footprint by replacing fossil based energy with various bio-oil alternatives.
Waste deposits are significant contributors to climate change through their methane and CO2 emissions, as well as pollution of local environments.
Waste-to-energy (WtE) plants burn nonorganic municipal solid waste (MSW) to produce steam in a boiler that is then used to generate electricity and direct healing.
At Sparks, we supply powdered activated carbon from coconut shells to reduce the overall carbon footprint of the WtE plant.
Clean and safe drinking water is crucial to human health
Reliable access to clean and safe drinking water is crucial to human health. Our drinking water can be contaminated in a number of ways and must be treated safely and efficiently.
At Sparks we supply anthracite coal, quartz sand and activated carbon water treatment processes.
By substituting the standard fossil activated carbon with biogenic activated carbon made from coconut shells and managing reactivation and end-of-life use of spent carbon, significant reductions in CO2 footprint is achieved.
It is crucial to reduce the CO2 footprint related to construction and maintenance of roads globally.
At Sparks we supply several environmentally friendly products, increasing the lifespan of the asphalt by reducing cracking, aging, fatigue as well as recycling old asphalt.
Moisture damage of gravel roads is critical as infiltration of water causes ruts, cracks and general erosion further causing major increase on life cycle costs and CO2 emissions.
At Sparks we assist our customers in reducing their CO2 footprint by replacing fossil based products (bitumen) used as a binder in gravel roads. Our solution dramatically improves water resistancy, reduces deformation and erosions while maintaining flexibility and mechanical strength.
For 100 years, the Norwegian smelter industry has produced metal with hydropower, making it the greenest metal in the world.
At Sparks we support absorbing materials for heavy metals within the gas and water space. Biocarbon will be an important solution towards CO2 reduction within the smelter process.
The Norwegian smelter industry will lead this initiative through clean and CO2 metal production.
Re-activation of used carbon will secure the low CO2 footprint for our customers.
At Sparks we offer efficient and safe operation of the absorption plants, specifically filling and emptying of the filter units.
Vapor recovery
Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during off- and unloading of tankers represent large emissions of climate gasses, while at the same time valuable products are lost to the atmosphere.
At Sparks we provide a vapor recovery unit (VRU) installed at oil storage tank terminals and refineries to avoid emissions and recover valuable products.
Treatment of contaminated air and water
Oil and gas installations produce contaminated gasses and water that must be treated before it can be released to air or sea.
At Sparks we supply activated carbon and filters for this treatment. Activated carbon from biogenic sources (coconut shell) is well suited for these applications and represents important CO2 savings compared to activated carbon from fossil origin.
