About Construction

Ultra Green Construction combines construction technology with technologies from other parts of the Ultra Green Group to create a unique product and service division that will provide services to construction companies or Governments who are looking for energy security.

Ultra Green is working with Governments and construction companies to provide unique ways of adding cost effective energy efficiency to existing buildings and to plan new communities that are energy efficient and compliant with grants and which avoid penalties.

Energy Efficient Construction

Ultra Green believes the only way to maximise energy efficiency effectively and achieve energy security is to design and build towns and industrial areas that integrate all the components required to produce an energy positive solution today.

That solution includes everything from the design of the local infrastructure and the way it is built, to houses powered by renewable energy sources, to using alternative fuel sources to run local transport, and generating electricity from waste rather than precious natural resources.

Autoclaves

An autoclave processes waste with the aid of steam, rendering it sterile while reducing its mass volume by up to 60% of the original mass.

This process is also an efficient method of seperation of unsorted waste to aid recycling.

The Ultra Green autoclave system is powered by our waste pyrolysis units. Traditionally, autoclave systems consume significant quantities of energy to power them, and leave residue which has to be disposed of - often to landfill.

SpriteLite Flood

Low cost energy efficient lighting without compromise

The SpriteLite Flood combines the latest in low-power LED technology with robust British manufacture and intelligent design to provide a flexible and effective low-power flood lighting solution. The SpriteLite system is the next generation of super-efficient LED-based lighting units for domestic or urban use.

SpriteLites

The SpriteLite has been designed with two prime objectives.
The first was to create a low cost, low energy lighting system that could be
fitted in any type of accommodation, and the second was to design a light that
provided comparable luminescence to standard bulbs.  

SpriteLite is the complete package, offering super low-power
LED-based strip lighting, an estimated 30% energy savings over conventional
lights, and an innovative lens system that ensures each 4W LED provides light
equivalent to a standard 40W bulb.

 

Pyrolysis Units

Pyrolysis is the cornerstone of Ultra Green’s waste to energy capability, providing us with a valuable tool to allow our clients to regain value from their waste in the form of electricity and heat.

Pyrolysis is a technology whereby material is heated in the absence of oxygen to produce a useful syngas consisting of methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide.  As the material is heated in the absence of oxygen, traditional contaminants such as Nitrogen Dioxides, Sulphur Dioxides and dioxins are not produced as the required oxygen molecules are not available.  

PowerBoss 240i

Low cost local energy security

Award-winning British inventor, Ultra Green’s Alexander Bushell, has created one of the world’s first all-in-one renewable power management systems. The PowerBoss is a compact, ‘intelligent’ energy management unit, no bigger than the size of a large shoe box, designed to store energy from photovoltaic panels and wind turbines that can run low voltage lighting, water pumps and ventilation systems.

Anaerobic Digesters

Anaerobic Digestion or AD, is a series of processes whereby microorganisms are used to breakdown organic substances into usable products in a oxygen free environment.  Traditionally, AD is carried out on ’wet’ waste such as pig slurry or sewage.  It produces useful products such as methane gas which is then used in an engine or turbine to produce electricity.  ‘Waste’ heat is recovered from the exhaust of the engine / turbine and used to heat the process as AD works best in a warm environment.
