Water-as-a-Service Eliminates Capital Costs of Wastewater Treatment

摘要

Anoxic dead zones in water bodies are increasing, and effective wastewater treatments are the need of the hour. Aerobic systems are expensive, while anaerobic systems traditionally lack stability, flexibility, and robustness. MIT spin-out Cambrian Innovation’s proprietary EcoVolt Reactor is an anaerobic digester that uses electrically charged organisms or “exoelectrogens” to efficiently treat wastewater to extract clean water and clean energy, using a process called electromethanogenesis.
