Breakthrough New Research: Applied CleanTech SRS Technology Can Save Wastewater Plants Some $1 Million Per Plant Annually

LONDON–(Business Wire)–Applied CleanTech (ACT) ( www.appliedcleantech.com) is pleased to announce the publication of an exciting and authoritative independent study about the enormous commercial potential of sewage mining, particularly the recycling of wastewater to produce the unique recycled cellulose compound Recyllose™. This product can be used as a raw material with numerous applications in a wide variety of industries.

According to this independent report, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) using Applied CleanTech’s Sewage Recycling System (SRS) can save approximately €2200, or about $2700 a day in costs. This amounts to savings of approximately €2.6 or $3.2 per person per year for WWTPs treating sewage in a medium size city.

As Piet Beltman, a member of the Executive Board of the Dutch District Water Board Aa en Maas Executive Board, emphasized:

“The question is whether you want to let your children live in a world in which there are serious shortages of raw materials, or do you want to work together to create systems that properly maintain the raw materials so that they can continue to be used.”

The report discloses that Recyllose™ was found to have many promising commercial uses as an economic substitute for cellulose in many industries and uses such as biocomposite materials, biofuels, asphalt and insulation materials, as a replacement for fiberglass, and more.

ACT’s patented technology enables municipal, industrial and agricultural wastewater treatment plants all over the world to stop merely producing expensive sludge and begin transforming their sewage wastewater into high quality, revenue-generating raw materials for the global plastics, insulation, pulp and paper, construction, biofuel production, nano-cellulose, and other industries.

According to the report, ACT provided numerous benefits to the Dutch WWTPs. They enjoyed a 31% savings on overall operating expenses for wastewater treatment, a 30% reduction in sludge formation and a 15% increase in WWTP capacity. Energy consumption was reduced, as were the pollution equivalent loads.

This report provides public recognition of the innovation and importance of Applied CleanTech’s SRS technology for wastewater treatment plants, as well of the commercial value of the Recyllose™. “Read more”
