Environmental Cleantech Solutions
Sludge pretreatment technology that significantly increases biogas generation
Innovative sludge-to-biogas technology that maximizes renewable energy output from wastewater, significantly reducing disposal costs while enhancing energy recovery in waste management applications.
Wastewater: The Dangers with Improper Treatment
ONLY 50%
of biogas potential is utilized in wastewater plants
Municipal wastewater plants face high operational and environmental costs due to inefficient sludge treatment. Untreated sludge requires up to 400 kWh/day and generates 200+ km/month of truck travel, with heavy CO₂ impact (0.65 kg CO₂ per kWh, 160 g CO₂/ton/km).
Traditional thermal alternatives are expensive and fail to reduce dry sludge volume, while still releasing methane and other GHGs during treatment.
Revolutionizing Sludge Waste Management
ECS develops a patented chemical pretreatment unit that significantly improves the performance of anaerobic digestion systems. By activating the sludge through partial oxidation before it enters the digester, ECS increases biogas yield by +50%, cuts OPEX by up to 4x and CAPEX by up to 10x compared to conventional thermal methods.
The solution consumes negligible energy, is based on chemical reactions, and integrates smoothly into existing infrastructures—making it scalable and cost-efficient. GHG emissions are drastically reduced, and wastewater plants move closer to energy independence.
Reducing GHG Emissions with Upcycling
20%
reduction in operational costs for dry sludge disposal
This solution significantly reduces GHG emitted from the decomposition of organic matter - mostly methane - and converts it into bioenergy, providing a renewable energy source, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and creating a source of revenue for clients.
Environmental Cleantech Solutions maximizes energy recovery for:
- Wastewater plants
- Municipalities
- Soil cleanup companies
- Waste management companies
