January 25, 2011, Toronto,
Ont – Organic Resource Management Inc. (ORMI) recently announced it has signed
an exclusive marketing agreement with DODA® USA Inc. for all of its
BioSeparator technology and equipment, where it applies to ORMI’s
patent-protected Organic Residuals Recovery System (ORRS), for on-site
liquefying and storage of organic waste.
DODA-USA is the North
American subsidiary of DODA Construzione Macchine Agricole di DODA Aldo e C.
snc of Mantova, Italy. DODA is a European manufacturer of pumping and solids
separation equipment for the manure and more recently anaerobic digester
industries.
The DODA BioSeparator will
be jointly marketed by DODA-USA and ORMI whenever its application falls within
the scope of the company’s ORRS patents. The ORRS patents extend to any
installation where a milling device, such as the DODA BioSeparator, is used to
reduce the volume of food waste by liquefying it, store the milled food waste
in a storage tank and ultimately transport it offsite for disposal or
recycling.
The terms of the agreement
include a requirement of all purchasers of DODA BioSeparator equipment to
acknowledge ORMI’s patent protection and to negotiate consideration directly
with ORMI. Consideration may or may not be in the form of royalties.
DODA and ORMI are
currently evaluating options for a number of North American installations.
Based upon two decades of
evaluating organic residuals management technologies, ORMI selected the DODA
BioSeparator for liquefying and removing
trash from source separated solid food waste, to create anaerobic
digester feedstock for renewable energy production. For more than a year at the
company’s grease trap service hub in Toronto, ORMI has operated the first North
American installation of the BioSeparator and confirmed its performance.
In addition to its Toronto
BioSeparator installation, ORMI will use the DODA BioSeparator technology in
its first combined Solid and Liquid transfer station to be located at
Woodstock, Ont. ORMI is also currently evaluating options regarding an
additional BioSeparator installation in the greater Toronto area to process
food waste.
