TreaTech provides an on‑site catalytic hydrothermal gasification (HTG) system that converts diverse liquid and solid waste streams into renewable methane‑rich gas, clean water, and recoverable minerals such as phosphates, nitrogen and potassium. The modular, patented technology operates under supercritical water conditions, eliminating waste transport, cutting CO₂ emissions by up to 94% compared with incineration, and enabling customers to generate on‑site energy and sell marketable resources as part of a closed‑loop circular economy.

Problem
Current waste disposal relies heavily on incineration and off‑site transport, which emit large amounts of CO₂, release pollutants, and waste water and energy resources. This approach also leaves the majority of waste’s material value untapped, missing opportunities for resource recovery and circular economy integration.
Solution
TreaTech offers an on‑site catalytic hydrothermal gasification (HTG) system that converts diverse liquid and solid waste streams into high‑purity renewable methane‑rich gas, clean water, and recoverable minerals such as phosphates, nitrogen and potassium. Operating under supercritical water conditions, the process separates organic carbon for gasification while extracting inorganic nutrients for fertilizer use, and fully decontaminates water for reuse. The modular unit can be integrated into existing industrial or municipal facilities, eliminating waste transport and reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 94% compared with incineration. Generated methane can power the plant, be stored, or injected into the natural gas grid, supporting on‑site energy independence. The technology thus transforms waste from an environmental liability into multiple marketable resources within a closed‑loop system.
Target Audience
Primary customers are industrial manufacturers, food and beverage processors, chemical and pharmaceutical plants, agricultural and livestock operations, and municipal waste‑treatment facilities seeking on‑site, low‑emission waste conversion and resource recovery.
