Revolutionizing Waste-to-Energy: WASE Introduces Advanced Electro-Methanogenic Reactor Technology

The company has announced a crucial investment in their scale-up strategy, which includes the delivery of their Electro-Methanogenic Reactor technology to customers. This technology is designed to maximize the recovery of biogas from organic matter in wastewater, ensuring that Anaerobic Digestion plants achieve the highest yields possible.

Thomas Fudge, the Founder and CEO of WASE, expressed his vision for the technology to set a new standard in waste treatment and energy sectors by optimizing waste breakdown and boosting methane production across the board. He envisions a future of Waste-to-Energy that maximizes economic and environmental benefits for all stakeholders, with WASE leading the way in the biogas market.

The company states that their units can increase biogas generation by 30%, which is up to ten times faster than traditional AD processes. Additionally, the technology boosts the methane content of biogas to over 80%, surpassing the typical 50-60% found in conventional AD processes.

WASE’s plug-and-play system is designed to fit seamlessly into existing infrastructure and is significantly smaller (50-70%) than similar technologies currently available in the market. This modular solution allows for customization, making it easier for companies to deploy at their site and ultimately leading to increased energy production and reduced costs in the long run.

Carlota Ochoa Neven Du Mont, Principal at Extantia, commented on how WASE’s approach not only increases biogas and biomethane yields but also reshapes the way industrial businesses think about their resources. The technology is making AD processes more profitable and productive while driving a shift towards more sustainable and efficient resource management practices.
