Summary of the technology

To bio-engineer bespoke communities for increased methane production and stable treatment in harsh environmental conditions. A series of 3D-printed anaerobic reactors within which they will model microbial recruitment during granule formation and use this to bio-engineer bespoke communities for increased methane production and stable treatment in harsh environmental conditions.

Details of the Technology Offer

Our academic partner recognises that the scope of Anaerobic Digestion (AD) applications is limited by the complexity of wastewater containing increasing concentrations of salt or sulfide ions which inhibit the final methane-producing step.

They plan on developing a series of 3D-printed anaerobic reactors within which they will model microbial recruitment during granule formation and use this to bio-engineer bespoke communities for increased methane production and stable treatment in harsh environmental conditions.

They are looking for an industry partner to be involved in anNBIC POC4 application.
