Distributed wastewater treatment

Whichever way you look at it, since the industrialisation of wastewater treatment, the focus of the majority of municipal wastewater treatment has been to centralize and scale. This made sense, as most methodologies used for wastewater treatment required significant amounts of power, expertise and therefore scale in order to make the cost of processing as affordable as possible.

With the Algaesys resource recovery system, we have eliminated a number of the principal reasons why scale made sense.

  • Our principal source of power is the sun - with minimal PV required to run our blowers, pumps and monitoring/control equipment.

  • Our footprint is typically one quarter of that of traditional solutions.

  • Water treatment times are up to ten times faster than traditional solutions.

  • Our plants can be maintained and run by almost anyone, no process or chemical engineers required.

  • Our plants don’t use consumables and are robust enough to survive in harsh climates with a long operational life.

  • Our plants are quicker, cheaper and easier to install, making use of local suppliers for the vast majority of components.

By introducing a cheap, scalable, robust solution that can be setup and run anywhere where there is enough sunlight, we can offer cost-effective wastewater treatment everywhere. That means water re-use in what are typically water-stressed communities where water is not only scarce but expensive, and an endless supply of carbon credits based on both abatement and sequestration, and soil conditioner to help improve the quality and water-retaining properties of local soil.
