At Smallops, we manufacture a product from a very typical waste product in Mediterranean countries: vegetable water, which presents significant problems due to its high phytotoxicity.
Thanks to our method, we apply HTC (hydrothermal carbonization) to produce Fe nanoparticles, OPS, with up to six different environmental applications.
OPS are a non-toxic product that meets circular economy requirements, as both the raw materials used and the product and byproducts are non-toxic.
Increase in CH4 production.
Reduction in H2S production.
Increase in the degradation of phytotoxic compounds such as polyphenols.
Buffering effect with H2S.
Removal of metals in contaminated water.
Removal of pesticides and pharmaceutical compounds.

Biostimulants.
Bioremediators.
Fertilizer enhancement.
Additives in the manufacture of construction materials and ceramics.
Textile fibers.
Manufacture of electrodes for fuel cells applicable in hydrogen generation.
Spain is the world’s leading producer and exporter of olive oil, with approximately 2.5 million hectares of olive oil planted. For this reason, the treatment of the olive pomace and vegetable water is key to the oil production process.
Clean energy whose main components are methane (CH4, between 50 to 70% vol.), carbon dioxide (CO2 between 30 to 50% vol.) and other components in smaller proportions.
Two billion tons of water are polluted daily by waste. This not only affects the health of millions of people, but also marine ecosystems.
The valorization of secondary raw materials, biowaste, by-products, derivatives, and digestates produced in the EU is one of the technological challenges contemplated to promote European self-sufficiency within the framework of sustainable agriculture.
