Gate 5 transforms material thought of as “waste” into safe and usable products, and drives positive public health, environmental, and climate impacts.
For too long, we have thought of sewage as waste and disposed of it accordingly, rather than unlocking its full value. Even the recycle/reuse options available to treatment facilities today can have their public health and environmental concerns mitigated by our innovative technology.
Gate 5’s widely scalable process eliminates many of the challenges and expenses of current sewage processes while transforming sewage into safe and valuable products (renewable energy, clean water and building materials).
Further, Gate 5 eliminates climate-harming methane and diesel pollution and destroys pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and other troublesome compounds that pass through today’s processes.
Beyond wastewater, Gate 5’s process is adaptable to the agribusiness/animal waste and food processing/waste sectors.
“We need to understand wastewater as raw material ore with impurities. If we remove the impurities, we can extract energy, water and materials from this valuable substance.”
