Scientific Research Council
Promoting the use of green energy and supporting a clean and healthy environment as long since been the thrust of the Scientific Research Council (SRC). An ISO certified organization, committed to continuous improvement and delivery of quality service, SRC has made significant achievements over the years, some of which are highlighted below:
•1984 – SRC adapted Biogas/Anaerobic Technology to promote the use of alternate sources of energy and to supplement total energy demand, utilize waste and provide organic fertilizer. These systems produce biogas, organic fertilizer and treated wastewater that can be used for irrigation or returned to water bodies without causing harm.
•1996 – Development of Biodigester Septic Tanks (BST) to replace soak away pits. To-date SRC has commissioned over 500 BST’s to treat farm, agro-processing, industrial, commercial and residential waste island-wide.
•2002 – Development of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Reactor that utilizes biogas/anaerobic technology to efficiently treat complex industrial, agro-processing and municipal waste.
•Patents
o2006 – SRC received patent for the Biodigester Septic Tank (BST).
o2014 – Two patents for Air Water Lift System (AWL) and Impoundment Tanks to support commercial production of feed for ornamental fish and marine shrimp.
