Product description

The Tribrid-Bioreactor™ Digesters by PurposeEnergy is an innovative waste-to-energy system specifically designed for industrial-scale food and beverage operations. This patented anaerobic digestion solution is capable of processing high-strength organic waste materials, such as brewer's spent grain, dairy slurries, and food manufacturing byproducts, and converting them into valuable renewable biogas, clean water, and organic fertilizer.

What sets the Tribrid-Bioreactor™ apart is its advanced three-stage design, which maximizes conversion efficiency and ensures net-energy-positive performance. By utilizing this system, facilities can generate renewable electricity or renewable natural gas, thereby reducing utility costs and facilitating the decarbonization of their operations.

Offered under long-term build-own-operate agreements, the Tribrid-Bioreactor™ allows clients to outsource their waste treatment, eliminate off-site disposal and trucking, and redirect capital towards their core business activities. Each installation not only lowers on-site carbon and water usage but also reduces emissions, landfill dependency, and supports circular economy models.

With successful operating sites in Vermont serving breweries, dairies, and food processors, the Tribrid-Bioreactor™ has proven to deliver scalable, profitable, and environmentally beneficial performance.

About the Company

PurposeEnergy is a U.S.-based renewable-energy company that transforms organic waste from food and beverage production into clean, sustainable resources. Since its founding in 2007, the company has developed patented Tribrid‑Bioreactor™ systems capable of anaerobically digesting high-strength organic waste (brewing byproducts, dairy slurries, food-processing residues). Their integrated facilities produce biogas for renewable electricity or renewable natural gas, clean water, and nutrient-rich soil amendments. PurposeEnergy designs, builds, owns, and operates these facilities under long-term agreements, delivering strong environmental and economic returns. To date, they have treated hundreds of millions of gallons of waste, generated tens of millions of kilowatt-hours of renewable energy, and eliminated thousands of truck trips and tons of greenhouse gas emissions. As a portfolio company of Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners since April 2023, PurposeEnergy continues scaling its climate-positive impact across the U.S., aligning with industrial sustainability goals and reducing the carbon footprint of food industry partners.
