Reviews

In partnership with UTC, we built a bioethanol plant for processing sugar molasses. The design was based on technology from Magen. We were pleasantly surprised by the approach taken by UTC’s director, Yevgen Lukashivich, to optimizing costs for clients. Most of the equipment was manufactured at UTC’s production facility. The plant was delivered on a turnkey basis within two years. The equipment has been operating without any issues.

A 5-stage treatment system from UTC has been in operation at the “Volynholding” ketchup, sauce, and mayonnaise production plant since December 2012. It treats 190 m³ of wastewater daily. The average daily load is 4,000 mg/L for COD, 2,000 mg/L for_BOD₅, 2,000 mg/L for TSS, and the pH ranges from 5.2 to 8.8. The system achieves a 98% removal efficiency through the use of an aerobic MBBR reactor with immobilized biomass. The treatment plant operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and successfully handles hourly and daily fluctuations in load volume and pollutant composition. Design and construction took 12 months. The wastewater treatment plant reached its planned capacity within the first month of operation. The equipment has performed without issues, and the operational approach is constructive. Automation allows for a staff of just one person per shift.

We are pleased with our collaboration with UTC and are happy to recommend it as a responsible partner.

Since April 2017, our bioethanol plant has been operating an anaerobic wastewater treatment system with a capacity of 450 m³ per day. The plant processes molasses and grain distiller’s grains decantate, with a COD load of 100,000 mg/L.

From January 10, 2017, to April 20, 2017, the VOC treatment system performed exceptionally well, removing 85% of the pollutants. The equipment allows for the production of 230 m³ of biogas per hour, which reduces heating costs.

The raw material processed at the LOS plant consists of dairy plant effluents with a high fat content. In addition to effectively treating the high levels of COD and BOD, it was necessary to address the issue of “emergency” discharges of rejected milk, which exceed average loads by several times. UTC proposed a modern 6-stage aerobic treatment system, which successfully addressed all the challenges it was tasked with. We designed and built the LOS on a turnkey basis, commissioned the facility, and trained the staff. We maintain an ongoing relationship and provide on-site consulting on all treatment-related issues.

We decided to build a biogas power plant in January 2018. The key factors for the project were a short payback period and the ability to gradually increase production. From the outset, we planned for cogeneration with electricity sales under the “green” tariff. UTC demonstrated the efficiency of its industrial reactors and proposed a transparent phased construction plan without the need for loans. The design and construction of Phase I (3.2 MW) were completed in less than 18 months. Thanks to the fact that a significant portion of the equipment was manufactured at UTC’s production facility, the company received a 10% refund and a surcharge on the “green” tariff. We are currently continuing construction of Phase II—5 MW.
