The Problem

Wastewater

What is wastewater, and why is it such a big issue with our environment today? In North America 290 million tonnes of high-moisture industrial waste is produced and needs a better disposal solution. Much of Industrial wastewater is poorly handled, with current methods facing rising costs and bans. PFAS (Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are a class of about 9,000 compounds used to make products: heat, water, and stain resistant. Known as “forever chemicals” because they don’t naturally break down, they have been linked to cancer, thyroid disruption, liver problems, birth defects, immunosuppression, and more.

Wastewater Treatment

PFAS contamination is an escalating crisis for the wastewater Industry, as dozens of industries use PFAS in thousands of consumer products, and often discharge the chemicals into the nation’s sewer system. It costs North America close to $10B per year to dispose of biosolids (66M tons/year), not to mention the other 250M tons of organics that require

Waste Water

Waste water poses significant environmental challenges, but it also holds immense potential. Discharging untreated wastewater can lead to water pollution, ecosystem disruption, and the spread of waterborne diseases. Additionally, it contributes to the depletion of freshwater resources. Proper wastewater treatment is crucial to remove contaminants, protect the environment, ensure public health, and promote water reuse. The wastewater Industry needs a new approach to tackling the issue of wet and solid waste.
