Okay, this is not my usual fare, and …well, drinking coffee will not exactly save the world, but a coffee company has found a way to help “reduce environmental pollution.” The company, Nestle Philippines, uses Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Boiler (AFBB) to burn and recycle spent coffee grounds into bunker fuel, which the factory uses for its operations.
They are using Electrostatic Precipitator to make the AFBB system compliant with the Clean Air Act. In a story that came out of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the company’s manager in its Cagayan de Oro factory said: “we prevent emission of air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which are natural by-products arising from the combustion of fossil fuels.”
