Foreword: we no longer run the pilot at Duke or host demos, but contact Marc Deshusses by email if you are interested in a treatability study or have questions on SCWO. Text below was kept FYI.
====================
We run the pilot SCWO system about 2-3 times a month and will be glad to host you during this time and show you how the magic happens. If you are interested in scheduling a demo, please contact us and specify the range of dates and how many people will be coming (we welcome groups of up to 6 people).
SCWO Off-Site Pilots (no longer active)
In the last couple of quarters, we began collaborating with wastewater treatment plants and biosolids management companies from around the country, to show effective treatment of their most problematic sludges and residues.
How does it work?
- We start off by getting samples of the different waste types you would like us to treat, analyze these samples to determine their concentration, ash content and calorific value.
- We then recommend which waste type(s) would be ideal to treat first and coordinate with you the waste shipment (tubs for biosolids, buckets for more diluted streams). Typically we need about 175 lbs of biosolids (~15-20% solids) or about 30 gallons of more diluted streams.
- Once we receive the material and analyze it, we schedule a pilot and invite you and your team to come see the unit in action, treating your waste.
- We then analyze the effluent and share the results with you in the form of report cards.
