Colubris is working with the German poultry specialist HEIDEMARK on the realization of an advanced anaerobic water treatment installation, called CCAP (Colubris Cleantech Anaerobic Process). This envisioned installation is intended to be built at the HEIDEMARK site in Ahlhorn, Germany. It will enable HEIDEMARK to significantly purify its wastewater and simultaneously recover sustainable energy in the form of biogas.
According to current planning, construction could begin in 2026, with commissioning potentially taking place by the end of that same year. Thanks to Colubris’s anaerobic technology, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the wastewater will be greatly reduced. The biogas produced in the process will be used in a combined heat and power (CHP) unit to generate electricity and heat.
On July 29th 2025, a public information meeting was held in Ahlhorn, where HEIDEMARK informed local residents and municipal representatives about the project. Colubris was present to explain the technology and the process. The meeting was very well received.
The collaboration between Colubris and HEIDEMARK has a long-standing history, based on mutual trust and shared ambitions in the areas of sustainability and technological innovation. Colubris is proud to once again contribute to HEIDEMARK’s environmental goals with an innovative solution that combines water purification and energy generation. Together, both parties are taking a step closer toward a cleaner, circular food processing industry.
