S6E5 - The Epic 3-Step Process that Boosts Activated Sludge | (don't) Waste Water! | Water Tech to Solve the World

Description

I'll kill them all

Wait, don't worry, that's good news!

What we call wastewater sludge is, in fact, a concentration of microbial cell mass.

To picture it, imagine a herd of micro-organisms, tired of having eaten a lot of organic matter and resting together in a mud-like aggregate.

Now, that mud can be valorized and turned both into biosolids you'll transform into fertilizer and biogas that can be used as a one-to-one replacement to fossil methane.

The problem in both cases is that these micro-organisms don't really want to cooperate spontaneously with you.

My Precious!

As a result, your biogas production yield can be pretty low, and your output matter is still very watery, which involves more hassle to transport it out.

That's where thermal hydrolysis jumps in for the save! It takes the sludge through a 3-step process where you heat it, then pressurize it and suddenly depressurize it.

Our rebellious micro-organisms don't appreciate that effort, and as a result, they tend to explode.

This frees the carbon and water they held back, increasing the biogas production yield by up to 50% while halving the biosolids volume at the outlet of the sludge digester.

More energy, better waste, a win-win that will make you say: I'll kill them all!

Currently in its 10th Season, the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast has already welcomed around 250 guests from Water Majors (SUEZ, Veolia, Jacobs, Xylem, Kemira, Evoqua, Aquatech, SKion Water...), Scale-Ups (Cambrian Innovation, Epic Cleantec, Gradiant, Liqtech, 374Water, Gingko Bioworks...), Start-Ups (Puraffinity, KETOS, 120Water, ZwitterCo, Membrion, Source...), Universities (Berkeley, the Columbia Water Center), Investment Funds (Sciens Water, Mazarine, Burnt Island Ventures...), Business Accelerators (Imagine H2O, Elemental...), Book Authors (Seth Siegel, David Sedlak, David Lloyd Owen...) or Market Intelligence Companies (BlueTech Research, Global Water Intelligence, World Bank, OECD, Isle Utilities...). Or simply water legends like Gary White, Mina Guli or Andrew Benedek!

On the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast, I strive to make the Water Industry easy to understand for everyone, starting with water professionals, executives, and investors. Hence, he opens the microphone to seasoned, inspirational water experts to discuss their field of excellence.

No one can claim an all-around in-depth understanding of a matter as complex as Water. But piece by piece, you can rebuild the puzzle. With curiosity, patience, and passion, Antoine Walter explores topics such as Advanced Treatment Technologies, Water-Energy Nexus (Hydrogen, Lithium...), PFAS removal, Nature-Based Solutions, Wastewater Reuse, Distributed Water Treatments, Water Finance, and Water Entrepreneurship.

I actually firmly believe that regular listeners of the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast may, in the end, claim a "Water MBA!"

A particular field of interest is how innovation forms, grows and gets widely adopted in a complex and conservative field like the Water Industry. This may be one of the keys to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal n°6 - #SDG6.

Oh, and in short, about me: I'm a water engineer turned avid student of the water business, market, finance, and tech. I'm married, a happy father of three, and I'm French (nobody's perfect 😅).
