Molecular innovation for a cleaner planet

We are committed to the well-being of the planet. Our solutions not only address current pollution problems but are also designed to prevent future degradation, ensuring the preservation of natural resources for future generations.

Advanced molecular technology

BioTermal applies a unique scientific approach that uses organic polymers capable of directly interacting with contaminants in water and soil. These advanced polymers break the covalent bonds that hold heavy metals and toxic compounds bound to the environmental matrix, releasing them and facilitating their separation.

Our innovation:

ZERO THERMAL

Zero Thermal™ is a revolutionary breakthrough in soil and water remediation, combining molecular technology with sustainable approaches. This system, developed by the technology group led by PST together with its research partner Hydro Science Technologies, uses advanced polymers that allow it to:

Act at the molecular level, breaking the covalent bonds that bind contaminants to their environment, releasing and transforming hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and toxic compounds into simpler and safer forms.

Oxidize and degrade organic and inorganic contaminants (hydrocarbons, pesticides, cyanides, solvents) until they are transformed into water, oxygen, and mineral salts.

Remove and stabilize heavy metals through flocculation and encapsulation, preventing their migration to groundwater or surface currents.

Control harmful biological growths, such as cyanobacteria, without affecting native biota.

Recover and reuse treated soil and water, reducing the need for final disposal.

Operate without kilns or complex thermal processes, with modular, energy-efficient equipment.

Zero Thermal

Zero Thermal is a revolutionary breakthrough in soil and water remediation that combines molecular technology with sustainable approaches. This system, developed in collaboration with Hydro Science Technologies, utilizes advanced polymers that enable the efficient removal of organic and inorganic contaminants and heavy metals.

How do polymers work?

Capture of contaminants

Polymers bind to toxins and heavy metals, facilitating their separation from soil or water.

Organic remediation

These products are safe for the environment and do not generate additional toxic waste.

Multiple applications

From mining and agriculture to water treatment and oxidation control, polymers are versatile and effective.

This molecular approach ensures that the technology can be applied in key sectors such as
mining, aquaculture, and agribusiness, where effective remediation is critical for
sustainability and productivity.

Applications and Benefits provided by Zero Thermal™

Sustainable Molecular Technology

Mining

ZT polymers optimize mining processes such as grinding, flotation, and cyanidation, improving precious metal recovery and reducing the use of mercury and cyanide. They also stabilize environmental liabilities such as heavy metals and cyanides, and offer solutions for on-site treatment, mine closure, and ecological rehabilitation.

Coal and Thermal Energy

Coal treatment with ZT-Poly2™ removes up to 99% of heavy metals before combustion, reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 50%. Byproducts, such as treated ash, are converted into reusable briquettes, while tar and creosote are oxidized, improving the sustainability of the process.

Oil and gas

ZT polymers improve drilling performance by reducing friction and prolonging drill bit life. They stabilize wells, prevent paraffin deposits, and protect installations from corrosion. They also optimize the transportation of heavy oil, treat drilling water and mud, and neutralize toxic gases, improving sustainability.

Electric Power and Transmission

Zero Thermal™ has developed an advanced polymer for arresters and insulators in power transmission lines, solving common problems such as oxidation and disc fracture. With high resistance to heat, water, acids, and corrosion, it is biocompatible and self-healing. It offers greater stability, lower maintenance costs, and increased safety.

Water and Environment

Zero Thermal™ offers advanced in situ oxidation (ISCO) solutions, rapidly degrading organic and inorganic contaminants. It removes hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and solvents in weeks, reduces cyanobacterial blooms, and improves wastewater and leachate treatment. It also promotes ecological recovery without harming native flora.

Construction and Materials

Zero Thermal™ ZT-POLY-16 stabilizes soils and controls dust through biomineralization, ideal for roads, platforms, and desertification projects. It also improves concrete, stabilizes contaminated soils, and allows the reuse of treated soils in cements. Furthermore, its coatings and paints are biocompatible, durable, and self-healing.

Agrobusiness and Others

ZT-POLY-AG, an organic amendment derived from algae, improves water retention, nutrient retention, and microbial activity in agricultural soils, reducing chemical fertilizers and increasing yields. It also encapsulates toxins, controls odors in landfills, and improves water quality in aquaculture. It also optimizes soil fertility and protects equipment in renewable energy plants.
