From its existing technological base, Vérité has developed an expertise in energy
 production from biomass and organic waste gasification (pig manure, poultry litter,
  wood, WWTP sludge, refuse of slaughter-house).
   Currently, Vérité is testing, on behalf of Litelis, its sister company, a new type of
    gasifier of Cemagref origin by building a 1MWe industrial unit, due to start up at
     the end of 2007.

            Gasification is a thermochemical transformation in which carbonaceous
           material is broken down, in the presence of a reactive gas (air, O2, H2O, etc.),
           to produce a combustible gas rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
          It can be applied very widely to all types of solid organic material
         (wood, litter, refuse of slaughter-house).

        The combustible gas generated can be used in boilers to produce heat or in
       gas turbines or internal combustion engines to produce electricity. This technology
      reduces pollutant emissions (no dioxin or furan) as well as solid waste.
     Gasification is a high-performance process at the technical, environmental
    and economic level.

The Orgawatt® process consists of a gasification reactor, a device to purify and cool
 the lean gas, a heat production system and associated equipment. Cogeneration
  produces thermic and electrical energy simultaneously by the addition of an
   internal combustion engine or a gas turbine.
