HOW ORCA WORKS
It’s compact, efficient, clean and undeniably green
We know recycling is most efficient when done on-site. Our technology works on-site in your organization to digest
food waste within 24 hours, drastically reducing the overall tonnage your waste disposal company needs to take to
the landfill, and the labor required to haul trash bags to the garbage.
ORCA is operating in over a dozen countries and hundreds of properties worldwide.
WASTE INPUTS
​
Compatible food waste is loaded into the ORCA unit
on-site.
​
​
MICROORGANISMS
​
ORCA's proprietary Biochips and microbial mixtures are added.
​
​
OXYGEN
​
Aerobic digestion begins once oxygen from the air is introduced to the mixture.
​
BREAKDOWN
​
Food waste is digested within 24 hours, reducing it into a liquid.
​
DISCHARGE
​
Liquid is filtered safely through a 0.5mm screen into existing plumbing infrastructure.
​
T H E J O U R N E Y C O N T I N U E S
Once at the waste water treatment plant, the journey is not over.
​
High value renewable fuels and natural fertilizers can be economically recovered from the liquid once it arrives at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).
​
Our technology creates meaningful cost savings for customers while diverting food waste from landfills. Landfill diversion reduces both carbon dioxide and methane gas emissions. ORCA also helps to increase labor efficiency by keeping employees in the kitchen and reducing the number of strains and sprains.
