Development

KOTO is constantly searching for new, innovative, and sustainable solutions that reduce the negative impact on nature and contribute to the preservation of the environment. Our long-time cooperation with local and foreign partners have led to development projects that have been utilized to improve, upgrade, and discover new technologies and methods that could be used to optimise work processes and increase environmental efficiency.

Development projects


SaltGae

"Demonstration project to prove the technical and economic feasibility of using algae to treat saline wastewater from the food industry"

Call: Obzorje 2020, H2020-WATER-1b-2015

Period: 2016 - in progress

A demonstration project of pre-preparation, anaerobic processing, and algae treatment of saline wastewater from the food industry with the intent to develop technology for purification wastewater with the presence of organic content from the food industry. The project aims to develop and demonstrate a technically and economically viable solution, including the separation and revaluation of algal biomass.

Biogas

The development of the technology for the production of biogas from municipal and industrial waste

Period: 2009 - 2011

Call: SRRP

As part of the project, we developed a method for determining anaerobic biodegradation and the technology for processing municipal and industrial biodegradable waste into biogas.


Kibernet

The development of a system for controlling industrial loads and dispersed production in the electricity distribution network

Period: 2009 - 2011

Call: SRRP

Participation in the development of a system that would enable real-time levelling in the distribution system for the transmission of electricity by means of controlling the loads included in the system.
