Water Knight starts in BioBizz hub as second participant

Beginning of January 2019, Rahul Dahule from Water Knight had his first day in the BioBizz hub. Water Knight is the second start-up in the BioBizz hub.

Global Water Intelligence: Paques world leader in getting your process energy neutral!

The advantages of anaerobic wastewater treatment versus its aerobic counterpart – no energy required for aeration, less sludge production, and the generation of biogas – seem very attractive on paper, but their application has generally been limited to industrial wastewater treatment applications. Anaerobic treatment works best on wastewaters of high organic strength, which have high levels and usually temperatures of 25 degrees Celsius or over. However, developments in the technology over time have enabled the expansion of their potential application.
