Company information

Alternative Fuel Biotechnologies CJSC (AlTBioT CJSC) is an enterprise, performing project and finance management on the organization of a woodworking operation with a full cycle of processing and production of high-tech ecologically clean bio-products, as well as production of bio-fuel – wood pellets, being a result of non-waste and ecologically safe method of waste disposal in compliance with the Kyoto protocol conditions.

Marketable products of our enterprises are competitive at the world market and meet the strictest quality and ecological safety requirements. The enterprise’ raw materials resources at 90% consist of hardwoods (ash-tree, acacia, oak, beech, maple), and the equipment, used in pellet production, materializes innovational cinematic solutions that in the aggregate allows manufacturing high-density wood pellets (up to 760 kg/m³) and with maximum caloric efficiency parameters (up to 18 MJ/kg), compared to our competitors.

For power generating enterprises use of wood pellets as energy vector for electric energy production is to the highest extent convenient, safe, highly efficient and eco-friendly.

Our technological ideology consists in maximum rational use of raw materials and creation of absolutely non-waste production at the expense of differentiated processing pattern and assumes the use of wood of all species and grades (including semi-subsistence group, obtained from environmental harvesting and felling for care of stands, as well as considerable volumes of waste from the reconstruction of artificial forest belts, dead-wood, wood damaged with fire and wind); all parts of a tree trunk (including crown and roots); as well as internal redistribution of waste for producing high quality and profitable marketable bioproducts from it – pellets, which are to be used for the enterprise own needs (heating boilers, drying, etc.) and sold along with other manufactured products.

Based on this technology, we have created a process flow sheet of non-waste production with a capability of complex processing of 100% of received raw materials.

Currently specialists of our company in cooperation with producers of the manufacturing equipment are carrying out an experiment on the application of waste from agricultural crops as raw materials in pellet production – straw, flax brome, sunflower husk and renewable biomass – bulrush, for manufacturing solid bio-fuel.

In 2007 AlTBioT CJSC began to invest in the construction of two operations on thorough processing of wood in Krasnodar Region and Vologda Oblast. The first plant was launched in the first quarter of 2009, launching of the second one is scheduled in the fourth quarter accordingly. Raw materials capacity of each of these plants is up to 130,000 m3 of wood annually.

Within the period from 2009 to 2015 we are considering the possibility of building another 20 plants like these in Russia.

The assortment of AlTBioT CJSC products is to be formed of high grade pellets (for private consumers) and industrial pellets (for the use at TPP (thermal power plants and boiler facilities) as well as woodworking bio-products.

Woodworking bio-products could be subdivided into several main directions, such as:

• Construction saw timber and window glued laminated lumber;
• Millwork (windows, doors) of the highest quality;
• Three-ply furniture boards;
• Three-ply floor covering.

Upon the production organization AlTBioT CJSC is to carry out all measures in compliance with ISO 9001-2001 standards for further certification.

To provide for accounting systematization at the production AlTBioT CJSC is to use progressive software ERP (integrated management control and enterprise resource planning systems) for the control of material values flow, daily performance record, equipment operation and coordination of manufacturing processes.

Marketing of AlTBioT CJSC bio-products at the European market is to be organized through AlTBioT-Trade Trading House with the logistics center, capable to turn over up to 100,000 tons of commercial products annually, possessing the potential for expanding the capacities.

It is supposed to open a European representation of AlTBioT CJSC in 2010.
