1. Biomass processing uses shredding, mincing and spinning to process the crops and plant matter (either on the spot in the field or in a relocatable unit) rather than the cutting and crushing devices used in a traditional mill.
2. Biomass processing uses high end technology so that net water use is low. It minimises the rehydration and chemical additive processes currently utilised in many traditional milling processes.
3. The technology can be supplied to accept a wide variety of feedstock in various differing formats.  For instance in the sugarcane industry the technology can accept whole stick cane or harvested billets. The feedstock is then minced before applying centrifugal force to extract the juice or oil and separate the plant fibre.
4. The biomass processor separates juice, oil or other fluid from the fibre or other solid components to produce a clean fluid with demonstrably high rates of purity and extraction.
5. Fibre is obtained in a clean dry condition.
6. Energy usage has been calculated to be significantly less than traditional milling relative to matching amounts of crops or plant matter processed.

The company registered its first patent in 1997 and has since lodged further PCT applications internationally (October 2006) in all relevant international jurisdictions.

The first biomass processing pilot plant (called the BT pilot plant) was constructed in Australia and is currently operating at Inkerman in North Queensland.

As this website tells you under the About The Company tab we are a genuine partnership between primary producers from the Burdekin region of North Queensland and commercial interests from Sydney. We are equally proud of that partnership as well.
