PERSONAL PORTFOLIO · WASTE-TO-VALUE
BROOKVANE · ANDREY SHEVCHENKO
I turn toxic industrial waste into products with low or negative processing cost. Seven cascade projects. RAS institutes as the science base. State support — ASI and BAT.
The simple product pays for the complex one
Cascade: each stage’s output is the next stage’s input
ash-slag · mine water · lignin
toxic stream
expanded clay · carbon · clean water
finances the cascade
Li · REE · Sc · concentrates
tail of loop 1
unburnt carbon · heat · gas
tail of loop 2
output = input
Seven cases, one logic: an environmental load becomes a technology asset. The base product finances metals and energy.
MINE WATER → LI, REE, SC
Active filtration and selective sorbents. Russia’s only mine-water treatment with negative processing cost: treat → recover metals → sell. BAT (ITS 37-2023), DOE (USA) verification.
STATUS: 3 SITES · PATENT 2025
CHEREPETSKAYA GRES ASH-SLAG → HIGH-STRENGTH EXPANDED CLAY
Structural expanded clay 3–4× stronger than the ordinary grade. Three loops: construction products fund the project; a metals technopark and an energy loop follow. IGI RAS · IPKON RAS · IPCE RAS · AXIONIT.
STATUS: VNIIZHB TESTS · EXPERIMENTAL LEGAL REGIME AT ASI
HYDROLYSIS LIGNIN → ACTIVATED CARBON
Deep processing of hydrolysis lignin from the Arkhangelsk plant dumps. Simple products — activated carbon and concrete additives — fund the next loop.
STATUS: ROUND 1 APPROVED
HERMETIA ILLUCENS · BIOCONVERSION
Organic streams converted by black-soldier-fly larvae: protein, fat, fertilizer. A fast biological cycle instead of slow composting.
STATUS: TRL 6–7
KRYUKOVSKOYE RESERVOIR
Extraction and processing of bottom sediments: free the water body and obtain mineral feedstock instead of stockpiling sludge.
STATUS: PILOT
VOLCANIC SANDS · SPA
Kamchatka volcanic sands as a premium wellness product. High LTV on a short sales cycle.
STATUS: TRL 4
BINDERS FROM TECHNOGENIC FEEDSTOCK
Binders based on industrial waste: clinker substitution and a lower carbon footprint of concrete without a strength penalty.
STATUS: MODEL · PILOTS
ANDREY SHEVCHENKO
Twenty-five years in industry — Gazprom, Transneft, RSC Energia. Brookvane is a method, not a consulting shop: each stage’s output is the next stage’s input. Science from RAS institutes. The legal entity is the same as Era Group.
Map the stream: composition, volume, logistics, legal status of the waste.
Verification at RAS institutes — a protocol, not a slide.
A simple product funds a complex one: construction materials → metals → energy.
BAT, an experimental legal regime, ASI support.
Brookvane is the waste-to-value brand. Energy technologies, perovskite photovoltaics and industrial sensors run through Era Group: IPCE RAS science, engineering, state support — one door for the partner.
Brookvane is a brand of Era Group LLC. The same TIN as the corporate site: the chain of title for due diligence matches.
