Wastewater Treatment & Reuse

WASE is developing decentralized wastewater treatment systems that embrace a circular economy to recover energy, nutrients, and water in wastewater. They work with manufacturers to turn their unavoidable waste into bioenergy, water for reuse, and agricultural inputs.

Globally, 80% of wastewater is discharged untreated into the environment. At the same time, we generate 1.6 billion tonnes of food waste per year. WASE offers a next-generation waste-to-energy technology that maximizes biogas production. Their modular, plug-and-play systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing operations, making them suitable for various contexts, including emerging markets. WASE's technology efficiently converts wastewater into clean energy on-site, addressing both waste treatment and energy production needs. The value proposition lies in their ability to reduce waste treatment costs, improve sustainability, and generate clean energy from waste. Their systems use AI and biosensors for 24/7 monitoring and optimization, improving methane yields and doubling feeding rates for increased plant efficiency. This comprehensive approach not only helps businesses manage waste more effectively but also provides a sustainable energy source, which is particularly valuable in emerging markets where energy access can be limited or unreliable.
