Nanotechnology for the environment
About Calpech
Calpech is a company with high technological potential dedicated to producing iron nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon for environmental solutions and energy recovery from organic waste.
Our Company
Technology
We are a professional team formed by scientists who are experts in waste. We have developed and patented the method to convert waste from the olive oil industry into a high-added-value product during our research at the University of Alicante: iron nanoparticles.
Our technology allows us to transform organic waste into a carbonaceous material for energy and decontamination applications. In addition to producing iron nanoparticles, we can treat different organic wastes from the agricultural industry, medical centres, sewage treatment plants and the like.

Environment and Sustainability
Our iron nanoparticle encapsulated in carbon is a unique product on the market. It has numerous applications: biogas improvement, removal of odours and sulfur compounds, removal of metals in contaminated water and soil, removal of pharmaceuticals and pesticides and uses as fertilizers. Read more...
Our process is synonymous with "green chemistry", "sustainability", and "circular economy" since it allows us to valorize an important waste to generate a product with a high potential for environmental decontamination, adding value to our ecological system.
