The i-ADAC system offers a strong competitive advantage as a low-cost, scalable, and plug-and-play waste-to-resource solution. Unlike traditional waste treatment systems, i-ADAC combines anaerobic digestion and aerobic composting in a compact, modular unit that is easy to install and operate with minimal technical expertise. Its flexibility allows it to be deployed in various settings—from small farms to urban communities, making it accessible to a wide range of users. By turning organic waste into valuable biogas and biofertiliser, i-ADAC reduces environmental impact while providing an affordable, sustainable alternative to conventional waste management.

Untreated organic waste such as manure and empty fruit bunches (EFB) poses serious environmental challenges, including water and soil pollution, foul odours, and the release of harmful greenhouse gases like methane. Traditional waste disposal methods are often inefficient and unsustainable, leading to significant ecological impact and missed opportunities for resource recovery. There is a need for an effective, environmentally friendly solution to manage organic waste while minimising emissions and maximising resource utilisation.

The i-ADAC system offers a sustainable solution by combining anaerobic digestion and aerobic composting in a single, compact unit. This integrated approach efficiently processes organic waste—such as manure and EFB—into biogas for energy and biofertiliser for agriculture, significantly reducing methane emissions and environmental pollution. Its modular design allows for easy installation and scalability, making it ideal for both rural and urban settings. i-ADAC turns waste into valuable resources while promoting cleaner, greener waste management practices.

The i-ADAC (Integrated Anaerobic Digester & Aerobic Composter) is an innovative, modular 3-in-1 waste management system that combines anaerobic digestion, aerobic composting, and waste separation in a compact, integrated unit. Designed to address the environmental impact of untreated organic waste like manure and empty fruit bunches (EFB), i-ADAC converts waste into renewable biogas and nutrient-rich biofertiliser. This dual-processing system not only reduces harmful methane emissions but also supports sustainable agriculture and energy recovery. Its space-saving, scalable design makes it suitable for various applications—from farms to urban communities—offering a clean, efficient, and decentralised solution for organic waste management.
