WASE
Offering the smallest, smartest, and most efficient biogas technology available, WASE exists to protect the world’ s most precious resources – water and energy. The company’ s next-generation waste-to-energy tech, based on a modular electro-methanogenic process, helps food and beverage producers unlock the value of their waste by turning byproducts into clean, carbon-neutral energy and cleansed water.
Compared to traditional anerobic digestion, WASE’ s plug-and-play systems enable food and beverage producers to generate more energy by treating waste faster. The modular reactors boost energy production by up to 30 percent, treat water three-to-ten-times faster, and have a 70 percent smaller footprint, offering strategic advantages across four key sectors: food and beverage, dairy and agriculture, brewers and distillers, and anerobic digestion.
WASE was founded in 2017 by CEO and cofounder, Dr Thomas Fudge, who completed a PhD in Development Of Decentralised Wastewater Treatment And Energy Generation Solutions at Brunel University. He recognized the commercial value of electro-methanogenesis, simply described as a special form of anaerobic digestion. To learn more about this technology, as well as how the company has scaled to its current position, we sit down with David White, WASE’ s Vice President of Sales.
“ Over the past few years, we’ ve scaled the electro-methanogenic process from laboratory size applications up to 100-meter-cubed volumes in the field, and now we’ re working on even larger projects,” David opens.“ WASE has the world’ s largest commercially operating electro-methanogenic reactor and with each installation we are breaking our own records in terms of size. We’ ll start constructing a 180-meter-cubed reactor later this year, for instance, which is nearly four times larger than our first system.
