Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology Will Be Used For The First Time At Şişecam Mersin Facilities!

Şişecam General Manager Görkem Elverici said, "Last year, we made our first investment in biotechnology in the Green and Circular Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology, which is an important Turkish invention in the circular economy and works with zero waste & zero emissions."

ISTANBUL (AA) - Şişecam established a global company in Switzerland with 7Cbasalia, the owner of Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology, which transforms all organic and inorganic wastes in the form of Solid - Liquid - Gas into environmentally friendly and economically beneficial outputs, and started using this technology in its Mersin facilities. is being prepared. According to the company statement, this move will bring Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology to the industrial field for the first time in the world. After establishing a company called 7Cbasalia Global in Switzerland in the first half of the year with 7Cbasalia, the owner of the technology, Şişecam will use this technology for power generation, inorganic and organic waste disposal, carbon capture and wastewater purification at its own facilities. After evaluating the outputs of the project, Şişecam will contribute to the spread of this circular business model, which transforms waste into added value, all over the world. The integrated Basalia Bio-Cycle Process, which will be established in an area adjacent to the Kromsan Factory in Mersin, will convert 80 tons of inorganic factory waste and 150 tons of municipal sewage sludge per day into hydrogen-rich combustible gas and useful Basalia Solid (raw material). With the Basalia Solids it has obtained, the facility will completely capture the carbon dioxide in the factory flue gas of 2,500 cubic meters per hour and will also purify 500 cubic meters of municipal sewage water per hour (de-ionized water) and turn it into cyclic process water for the factory. In this way, Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology, which works as an integrated and modular system based on zero waste and zero emissions, will be brought to the industrial area for the first time in the world. Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology makes waste water reusable (circular) by removing waste from being an environmental problem and transforming it into environmentally friendly value-added products. Solid wastes combined with organic wastes are first rendered harmless and then hydrogen gas, an environmentally friendly energy source, can be obtained through these wastes. While Basalia offers the most environmentally friendly and economical solutions for companies with waste problems, it also aims to produce Green and Circular City solutions for overall city and country governments. Thanks to the widespread use of Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology, it will be possible to cyclically recover polluted water all over the world, to zero all carbon dioxide emissions and to obtain gas equivalent to natural gas. 7Cbasalia Global AG also continues its R&D studies to produce pure hydrogen, strong soil conditioners, carbon-based 3D printer materials and light construction materials. - 'We see the concept of a sustainable future as our top priority' 

Şişecam General Manager Görkem Elverici, whose views were included in the statement, explained that they see the concept of sustainable future as their top priority and that they take responsibility to protect the planet, strengthen society and transform life with the Care For Next strategies they implemented within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Elverici noted the following: 'In line with these targets, last year we made our first investment in the field of biotechnology, an important Turkish invention in the field of circular economy and zero waste & We made it to Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology, which works with zero emissions, Green and Circular. Our investment in this technology, developed with the aim of transforming all kinds of waste into harmless substances, is directly compatible with Şişecam's sustainability goals. We are starting to use Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology, which has seen successful results in the first trials and has the potential to break new ground in the field of circular economy, in our facilities in Mersin. Then, we will contribute to the spread of Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology to international platforms through the global company we established with 7Cbasalia, the owner of the technology.' 7Cbasalia Global AG Chief Executive (CEO) Dr. Reha Akçakaya also said that Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology decomposes all unusable organic and inorganic wastes without the need for separation, and then transforms all these wastes into environmentally friendly and high value-added economic raw materials and products, as well as hydrogen-rich gas. Akçakaya continued his words as follows: 'We have a very strong and comprehensive global strategy covering the 2023-2030 period, based on our goal of transforming the entire world in a green and circular manner. Especially with our carbon sequestration process, we can solve the carbon emission problem of not only the EU but also the whole world in a radical, environmentally friendly, sustainable and economical way. Water scarcity is a fundamental problem in the world, and the technology we have developed transforms sea water into drinking and utility water. Scientist Ahmet Başal side Thanks to the Basalia Bio-Cycle Technology developed by , a facility or factory can re-use its total daily process water needs repeatedly and cyclically. 'We not only save water for factories and facilities, but also prevent them from polluting the environment by allowing them to reuse their own process water.'
