Applied Research
Learning and doing
Technological challenges come when we start out new projects: it allows us to direct our thought and energy to innovation. Our greatest and most recent challenge is the critical necessity to find a solution for the bi-toxic products called “vinazas”, that come out from the mezcal distillation process. These toxins destroy –very quickly– the organic life in rivers, causing an important threat to nature in the producing areas… but, What if we turn this vinaza problem into a source of energy for the producers?
Since 2018, we set up a biodigester laboratory and started several tests to find out the best formula to take advantage of mezcal residues and turn them into energy. We work together with the Brandenburg Technological University, in Germany, to tune up the process.
The PPX model is based upon a 3 phases structure: Research and Development, Implementation, and Training and Support. In collaboration with our allies we manage to make all of them work with producers and handicraft workshops where their processes require combustion: ceramics, mezcal and blown glass.
We see a large opportunity to expand our reach to other micro-industries, such as artisan brick production, coffee roasters and natural dyes for textiles. A strategic goal is to make PPX programs function as drivers of specialized jobs, unique handicrafts and encouragers of sustainable production.
There are very few enterprises in Oaxaca who produce Technological Applied Research, and we desperately need it! Why not giving us a hand?

Solar Energy
Taking advantage of solar energy is a central aspect for PPX. Sun is a renewable resource with almost 0% pollution that, at the same time, generates enormous savings. At this time we have three research projects in different stages of development. The first one, listed below, is the classical form (solar panels), it serves us as a point of comparison of energetic performance against the newer ones:
-
Photovoltaic solar panel array utilizing double axis tracking.
-
Heliostat to multi-junction solar cell module concentration with telescopic tower.
-
Parabolic dual process solar concentration for steam through micro turbine energy cogeneration.
