Water

Over 38 Billion Gallons of wastewater are produced every day by municipal and industrial sources such as breweries, dairies, and bottling plants. This water should be treated, but unfortunately much of it makes it way to our rivers, lakes and oceans. As a result, large anoxic dead-zones have appeared in even our largest water bodies such as the Chesapeake bay and the Mississippi River Delta.

One of the challenges with wastewater treatment is that existing technologies are expensive and energy intensive. Aerobic wastewater treatment in particular – the dominant approach worldwide – costs over $30 Billion annually and consumes over 3% of the electricity in the United States alone.

Cambrian’s Aquavolt product line reverses the economics of the wastewater treatment process. Rather than consume power, our systems leverage BES technology to generate electricity and value-added products while treating organic pollutants in wastewater. The net result is a radical reduction in energy use, and substantial savings in the operations and maintenance costs per unit of pollution removed.
