About ADAR Technologies

ADAR Technologies, LLC is a cleantech company targeting the waste remediation industry with a proprietary, three-in-one solution for material processing. The firm was officially established in 2022 with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, and technical operations in the Netherlands. The company's origins trace back to 2017, stemming from the need for a sustainable method to process animal manure. The technology's inventor, Arie Bos, M.Sc., began building and testing the initial prototypes in 2018 in both the Netherlands and the United States.

The leadership team includes CEO Dan Kelly, a serial entrepreneur with a background that includes time at the FBI, and COO Doug Farrington, who brings extensive experience from the agricultural sector, including a role at BASF-Agricultural Products where he founded the North America AgroStart program. Arie Bos serves as the Technology Advisor, guiding the technological development. The company's business model is centered on selling solutions, not just equipment, by delivering waste remediation and conversion systems to both public and private sector clients. This approach enables customers to transform waste-related expenses into potential revenue streams by upcycling materials.

ADAR's core offering is its Acoustic Dehydration Solution (ADS), a technology that dries, pulverizes, and sanitizes materials simultaneously. The system harnesses the physics of a sonic boom, using high-frequency acoustic shockwaves to process feedstock instantly without the use of added heat, fossil fuels, or chemicals. This method consumes approximately 80% less energy than traditional drying techniques and operates solely on electricity, producing no carbon emissions. The process converts high-moisture biomass by-products into a dry, sanitized, and nutrient-rich powder. This resulting powder has a variety of commercial applications, including use as fertilizers, high-protein animal feed supplements, and components for green energy solutions. The technology has been tested on over 70 materials, including agricultural waste, food by-products like avocado pits, sargassum, municipal sewage sludge, and wood chips.
