A success story together with Silva Green Fuel
Feb 3, 2023
From wood chips to fuel. Research and development within new energy is important in a polluted world - short of energy and an over production of waste.
Advanced biofuel is an important contribution to the decarbonisation of the transport sector. Silva Green Fuel´s mission is to produce fuel from raw materials that cannot become food, such as waste, residues and cellulose-containing material. A full scale production facility based on Silva Green Fields technology can reduce the emissions from the transportation industry with 250-375 tons CO2 yearly, based on raw materials (waste) from the forest industry. Advanced biofuel produced from forest waste provides a reduction in emissions of up to 95%, compared to natural decay.
Explosion proof solutions for mobile workers in ATEX work environment
In the innovative and complicated process of turning biological waste into fuel, there is a need for explosion proof equipment, in line with the requirements for other traditional oil and gas facilities. Durable handheld devices and a powerful collaboration service, all supported by local expertise and knowledge, was the target for Silva Green Fuel production site when evaluating solutions, says Joakim Svaeren, Operation Manager at Silva.
Silva choose to trust Ecom Pepperl-Fuchs and their Smart-Ex02 Android Atex handhelds, GroupTalks Business Critical Push to Talk (PTT) collaboration suite and ATEX Earmuffs from Sensear. All configured and supported by the local communication specialist Longrange Network AS.
The result is a solution with explosion proof equipment and a collaboration service that meet the needs of Silvas mobile workers in their ATEX work environment.
