Method and system for treating biogenic wastewater with simultaneous generation of fuel
- Summary
- Marco J. Castaldi, Ph.D.
- Technology Benefits
- Produce pure stream of hydrogen for use as fuel or chemical feedstockWaste-to-energy conversionCombine waste treatment (e.g. wastewater de-nitrification) with energy productionAn energy producer, not an energy consumer like conventional wastewater treatment technologiesPatent information:Patent Pending (WO/2007/140441)Tech Ventures Reference: IR M06-085
- Technology Application
- Production of renewable, non-greenhouse gas producing, and distributed energy in the form of hydrogen gasUsing the hydrogen gas to generate electricity with a fuel cell or as a feedstock for synthesis of a wide range of industrially-relevant chemicals and fuelsDe-nitrification of wastewater, specifically in municipal water treatment facilitiesTreatment of a wide range of biogenic waste streams while recovering energyProduction of ammonia and chemicals derived from ammonia
