“One third of the world's population doesn’t have that same access to clean water, and lack of sanitation is still the #1 cause of poverty throughout the world. Wastewater has not seen an innovation since the clean water act was signed in the US in the 70s, and it’s time to change that.”
- Orianna Bretschger, Founder & CEO of Aquacycl
Removing organic materials and toxic contaminants from wastewater while producing electricity.
Globally, 80% of wastewater is discharged without treatment, resulting in the contamination and destruction of natural habitats.
Aquacycl’s commercial technology utilizes naturally occurring microbes to treat highly contaminated wastewater (> 25,000 BOD), while generating electricity as a byproduct that powers the system. With a smaller footprint and 90% lower GHG emissions than their competitors, Aquacycl provides their customers with an onsight, efficient wastewater management system that costs 20-60% less than dispensing wastewater in sewers or hauling it offsite to landfills.
