Energy & Utilities

Alternative Energy

Demec have considered the importance of introducing economic and cleaner alternate fuels for automobiles in Maldives. In anticipation of this, Demec has developed automobile LPG appliance for two and four wheelers. To facilitate the LPG appliance to customers, Demec decided to establish its own Auto LPG Dispensing Stations spread all over Maldives.

Renewable Energy

This effort is an important step in the realization of a ground breaking project. It is part of our Closing the Circle philosophy that wants to contribute significantly both to a cradle to cradle approach of the use of materials and the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere. The energy plant that we will build together with our renewable sector partners is one of the key elements for the success of our plans.

Energy from Waste

We are going even further to promote recycling. We are taking a proactive role in working to reduce recyclables from the waste stream. We have joined the call for municipalities to reduce toxins in the waste stream such as mercury, pharmaceuticals and electronics. These steps are part of our commitment to generate clean, renewable energy with the least environmental impact possible. WTE and Recycling at WorkDemec is currently designing a waste to energy power plant of 500 tons per day of solid waste, which would be generating up to 1 megawatts of renewable energy from every 42 tons of waste.

Bio-diesel &Blended fuel production / Alternative fuel Solutions

Demec make a difference on a national scale on how society and industry use liquid fuels now and into the future. As humanity is starting to see the end of cheap and abundant fossil fuels we will all have to reassess the way we gather and use liquid fuels in the future.

Demec have been developing technologies that will assist and help in this transition from the post era of cheap fossil fuel.

Renewable hydrogen

Currently there are two practical ways of producing hydrogen in a renewable industrial process. One is to use power to gas where renewable power is used to produce hydrogen from electrolysis and the other is landfill gas to produce hydrogen in a steam reformer. Hydrogen fuel, when produced by renewable sources of energy like wind or solar power, is a renewable fuel. Hydrogen is mainly used for the conversion of heavy petroleum fractions into lighter ones via the process of hydro crackingand other petroleum fractions (dehydro cyclization and the aromatization process). It is also required for cleaning fossil fuels via hydro desulfurization.

Hydrogen is mainly used for the production of ammonia via Haber process. In this case, the hydrogen is produced in situ. Ammonia is the major component of most fertilizers.

Earlier it was common to vent the surplus hydrogen off, nowadays the process systems are balanced with hydrogen pinch to collect hydrogen for further use.

Hydrogen is used in fuel cells for local electricity generation, making it possible for hydrogen to be used as a transportation fuel for an electric vehicle.Hydrogen is also produced as a by-product of industrial chlorine production by electrolysis. Although requiring expensive technologies, hydrogen can be cooled, compressed and purified for use in other processes on site or sold to a customer via pipeline, cylinders or trucks. As the discovery and development of less expensive methods of production of bulk hydrogen is relevant to the establishment of a hydrogen economy, Demec has attempted to establish the hydrogen fueling station in the Maldives.
