ibert was started by cooperation between the Austrian based Bio4gas Express Rector Technology company (bert) the commercial leg of Innsbruck University and South African energy specialist Otto Hager. In 2012 an opportunity to convert bio-waste as an abattoir in Jan Kempdorp into a biogas plant. This pilot project created the foundation for ibert The I in ibert is a word play on my as the bert reactors has a relative small footprint and can be installed onsite at the source of waste. So ibert is my bert rector BERT system allows smaller scale biogas plants to be very financial viable with a compact design, small footprint, low maintenance and higher than normal gas yield. These compact biogas systems are running in Europe and have changed the biogas business in these countries. IBERT plants run exclusively on waste materials like, animal slurry, food waste, green waste, slaughter waste and most other biodegradable material.
