The company’s investment in Electro-Methanogenic Reactor technology is a crucial step towards achieving their scale-up strategy and delivering the technology to customers. This innovative technology is designed to maximize biogas recovery from organic matter in wastewater, ensuring that Anaerobic Digestion plants achieve the highest yields possible.
The company’s units can increase biogas generation by 30%, which is up to ten times faster than traditional AD processes. Additionally, the technology boosts the methane content of biogas to over 80%, surpassing the typical 50-60% found in conventional AD processes.
The plug-and-play system designed by WASE is modular and significantly smaller (50-70%) than similar technologies currently available on the market. This allows for easy customization, making it easier for companies to deploy at their site and ultimately leading to increased energy production and reduced costs in the long run.
Thomas Fudge, Founder and CEO of WASE, has a vision for the Electro-Methanogenic Reactor technology to set a new standard in waste treatment and energy sectors by optimizing waste breakdown and boosting methane production across the board. He envisions a future where Waste-to-Energy maximizes economic and environmental benefits for all stakeholders, with WASE leading the way in the biogas market.
Carlota Ochoa Neven Du Mont, Principal at Extantia, commends WASE’s approach as not only increasing biogas and biomethane yields but also reshaping industrial businesses’ thinking about their resources. The technology makes AD processes more profitable and productive while driving a shift towards more sustainable and efficient resource management practices.
In conclusion, WASE’s investment in Electro-Methanogenic Reactor technology is an essential step towards achieving their scale-up strategy while delivering sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment and energy production. With its modular design, easy customization, and significant cost savings, this innovative technology sets a new standard for waste management practices while promoting economic growth in various industries.
