Baleen plants offer a transformative change in how population wastes are recycled.

• Waste-to-energy infrastructure

  Baleen is an engineered adaptation of the natural technique used by whales of the same name. It uses novel counter clearing flow principles that sustain filtration without downtime, aptly recovering virtually all waste from wastewater.

Baleen recovers the waste from water for conversion into energy, enabling fit-for-purpose water re-use (via inline oxidation/disinfection) in a sustainable manner to eliminate the need for energy-consumable intensive biological treatment and sludge handling.

For example, a Baleen plant designed to serve a population of 100,000 people could provide a modular, containerized solution capable of reclaiming approximately 20,000 tons per day (tpd) of water fit for horticulture, while converting 200 tpd of garbage and 63 tpd of wastewater screenings (263 tpd Total) into 33 MW of thermal energy per hour and 1 ton per hour of sterile, organic free ash. Additionally, the resulting hot gas could produce steam to generate 10MW per hour of electricity and supply onsite heating.

Baleen filtration process

Compared to landfill disposal, this process is estimated to reduce approximately 167,500 CO₂e per year in addition to the environmental and energy benefits of not having to operate and maintain a conventional biological sewage treatment plant with equivalent capacity. Accordingly, this transformative process technology presents a unique solution to offset global CO₂e emissions and produce significant amounts of energy.
