Biotech Company championing human waste as next big renewal
energy source Genesis Biosciences has launched a sustainable solution to wastewater treatment
A global biotech company with laboratories in Cardiff and Georgia that specialises in turning bacteria strains into eco-friendly cleaning and maintenance solutions is preparing to launch a new product across Europe that could help to improve the yield of renewal energy fromwastewater sludge.
Genesis Biosciences is an industry leader in the development of natural microbial and antimicrobial formulas for a wide range of applications and its latest innovative offering will enhance anaerobic digestion (AD) in the wastewater treatment process, offsetting any impact on local water bodies and the climate, with the potential to generate new clean energy.
Wastewater is any water that has been used, with outlets including the shower, dishwasher or toilets. Before it can be used again, it needs to be cleaned

which is known as wastewater or sewage treatment. During this cleansing process, solids and pollutants are removed and disposed of, which is called sludge, and the remaining water is released back into the environment. However, this process uses energy and doesn’t filter out all the harmful elements within the water.
Genesis’Evogen Biogas Additive has been specifically designed to support wastewater treatment and renewable energy production by increasing biogas generation and reducing the final sludge volume for disposal with no detrimental impact on the final sludge quality.
AD is fast becoming an integral part of the wastewater treatment process among local authorities and private companies turning their attention to resource recovery. The ability to use microorganisms to producemethane

rich biogas fromsewage sludge and organic wastematter offers the potential to produce heat and electricity fromwhat is a continuous and growing waste source.
Through the AD process, specialised microbes interact in the absence of oxygen to breakdown the organic components of sludge and waste to facilitate biogas production. This greatly decreases the final volume of the original waste whilst yielding energy that can be used to offset plant
