In June 2013 ElectroCell Technologies conducted a pilot test to evaluate the impact of BioElectric cell lysis technology on Thickened Waste Activated Sludge (TWAS) at the Derry Township Municipal Authority (DTMA) in Hershey, PA.
The objective of this pilot was to determine if BioElectric treatment would break down TWAS into soluble and more bioavailable forms as a precursor to enhanced anaerobic digestion.
ElectroCell’s BioElectric technology uses precisely managed, low voltage electrical pulses to break down liquid wastes. It has been used for several years to destroy pathogens, stratify nutrients, settle solids and reduce odors in livestock manure and biosolids. Only low levels of electricity (less than 3 watts per gallon) are used. There are no chemicals or additives involved.
