Business model 3:
Zero-emission water treatment for plants and buildings
Wastewater purification × carbon fixation in algal biomass — decarbonisation and better margins together
Bloomo purifies the ammonia and nitrate in wastewater from plants, facilities and buildings, while the harvested algal biomass is converted into biochar to fix carbon. It supports zero-emission requirements and carbon-tax readiness in one move.
Context, product, future
Context
Demand for negative emissions is rising across facilities and plants, and a carbon tax is coming into view. Cutting the cost of water treatment and meeting zero-emission requirements are now asked for at the same time.
Product
Bloomo purifies the ammonia and nitrate in plant wastewater, while the algal biomass goes to carbon fixation as biochar and similar routes. Wastewater treatment and carbon credits are delivered as one.
Future
Water purification and decarbonisation through Bloomo improve the operator’s margins. Waste heat and flue gas can also be used. ESG contribution and the creation of carbon credits generate new business value.
Users and product
USER
Plants, facilities and buildings
- High water treatment cost
- Difficulty meeting zero-emission requirements
- Preparing for a carbon tax
- Responding to tighter effluent regulation
PRODUCT
Bloomo - Factory
Water purification & carbon fixation system for plants and buildings
- Green water purification
- Carbon fixation as biochar
- Simultaneous removal of ammonia and nitrate
- Effective use of waste heat and flue gas
Core technology and features
Wastewater purification
Ammonia, nitrate and organics broken down and removed together by algal metabolism
Biochar production
Harvested algal biomass pyrolysed into biochar, fixing carbon
Use of waste heat
Plant waste heat used for temperature control of the culture, saving energy
ESG reporting
CO₂ reduction and water-quality improvement data visualised on a dashboard
Resource recovery at sewage treatment plants
An algae-based process improvement that fits into existing sewage treatment plants. Four layers — lower aeration energy, CO₂ fixation, nitrogen/phosphorus recovery and N₂O suppression — turn treatment cost into resource recovery and carbon fixation.
