Is WEF’s α-Gaia system effective to treat sewage sludge?
We have a world-leading technology to generate active oxygen out of atmospheric oxygen. Our system,α-Gaia has a built-in active oxygen generator to break cell walls quickly. This new technology allows effective decomposition of cell walls, which other methods, such as high temperature / pressure, acid, alkali, and ozone, have never been able to achieve. Moreover, this method allows quick and effective evaporation of water content outflowing from cells.
The graph below shows a breakdown of the types of industrial waste reported in 2004 per volume. Sludge takes up about 40% of overall waste. Within this 40%, sewage sludge comprises a large part, taking nearly 20% of the overall percentage.
Cell membranes begin breaking down 2 to 3 hours after sludge is loaded to the α-Gaia system. If you continue the process until it becomes powderized, it can be recycled as fuel. Or, you can stop the process as soon as cell membranes are broken, and then compost it, so the final product can be used as fertilizer.
