In Denmark, municipal water and wastewater treatment utility Aarhus Vand A/S and Sweden-headed electrical pulse technology developer Arc Aroma Pure AB (ArcAroma) have agreed to jointly evaluate ArcAroma´s "dynaCEPT" technology to increase biogas production from sewage sludge and improve dewaterability and viscosity of the sludge and foaming.
The test will start at the Egå wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Aarhus, Denmark this spring and continue for up to six months. The aim of the evaluation is to optimize the performance of Egå WWTP, but also to test new technologies for ReWater, Aarhus Vand’s future resource recovery plant in Marselisborg.
Founded in 2008, Arc Aroma Pure AB (ArcAroma) has developed a method to control electrical pulses that provide a high energy yield. The CEPT platform, which is a generator, uses short-term high-voltage pulses that blow the cell membrane in organic matter and kill unwanted microorganisms. The technology finds applications in biogas production, sewage treatment, water, ballast water, and food extraction.
Headquartered in Lund, Sweden, the company has offices in Shanghai, China and has received various awards and support from public agencies such as the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova and the Swedish Energy Agency.
