Problem
Agro-industrial wastewater poses significant environmental challenges due to its high organic content and nutrient load, leading to water pollution and resource waste. Existing treatment methods are often expensive, energy-intensive, and may not effectively recover valuable resources. This results in increased operational costs for agro-industrial businesses and unsustainable environmental practices.
Solution
VisioNing offers a sustainable solution for treating agro-industrial wastewater by integrating bioelectrochemical and photocatalytic technologies powered by solar energy. Their system facilitates the purification of wastewater while simultaneously recovering essential nutrients for reuse. The process involves an initial bioelectrochemical treatment to recover nutrients and partially degrade organic content, followed by a photocatalytic process powered by solar energy for final purification. The treated water can then be reused by the company, promoting a circular economy and reducing reliance on costly fertilizers.
Target Audience
VisioNing targets agro-industrial companies, including breweries, olive oil mills, and dairies, seeking cost-effective and sustainable wastewater treatment solutions.
