Wastewater treatment and energy generation

Solar Energy Program

An innovative technology used in wastewater treatment that utilizes extreme heat and pressure to 'pressure cook' solids, weakening their cell walls to make energy extraction easier in the subsequent anaerobic digestion phase.

A process where microorganisms break down biodegradable materials in the absence of oxygen. In the Muckbuster, this process is used to digest waste and produce methane.

Used by SunHydro to generate hydrogen, making the fueling process fully sustainable.

District of Columbia

A program to install solar panels on low-income families' homes and provide job training in the solar energy field.
