Modular Gasification Designed for the World’s Toughest Waste

Equation Labs is an innovative company specializing in the development of advanced thermochemical solutions for sustainable waste management and renewable energy production. We focus on converting complex waste materials—particularly those rich in ash—into valuable products such as synthetic gas and biochar. Our flagship project, the EQL system, is a novel, containerized, and turnkey fixed-bed gasification system designed to process 150 kg of dry fuel per hour. It addresses a critical market need: the ability to handle difficult waste streams that conventional technologies can’t

Our flagship project, the EQL system, is a novel, containerized, and turnkey fixed-bed gasification system designed to process 150 kg of dry fuel per hour. It addresses a critical market need: the ability to handle difficult waste streams that conventional technologies can’t efficiently process.

The core of our work builds on the success of the COMETHA lab demonstrator, which validated the technical feasibility of our fixed-bed gasification concept. We are now scaling this platform by a factor of ten and integrating a series of patented innovations to ensure robust, high-performance operation at industrial scale.

Key Innovations

High-efficiency fixed-bed gasification
Our EQL system utilizes advanced fixed-bed gasification specifically engineered for ash-rich waste materials that traditional systems cannot process.
Patented fuel distribution system
Our proprietary fuel distribution technology ensures uniform flow throughout the gasification process, maximizing efficiency and output quality.
Integrated ash management
The EQL system features breakthrough ash management technology that maintains stable operation even with high-ash content feedstocks.
Catalytic gas cleaning
Our advanced catalytic cleaning process ensures the production of high-purity syngas suitable for a wide range of applications.
Biochar production
The EQL system generates carbon-stable biochar usable for soil enrichment or long-term carbon storage, enabling negative CO₂ emissions.
Carbon Negative Impact
This next-generation system generates carbon-stable biochar usable for soil enrichment or long-term carbon storage—making EQL a key enabler of carbon-negative waste-to-energy ecosystems.
