Clos du Bois Tests new wastewater treatment system

摘要

Cambrian Innovation of Boston, Mass., and Clos du Bois Winery in Geyserville, Calif., have cooperatively field-tested the world's first industrial-scale bioelectric wastewater treatment system. A demonstration scale system was installed and operational at the winery during the 2012 crush, and it continued to operate successfully through the summer of 2013, processing 10% of the winery's total wastewater output. Dr. Matthew Silver, a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is CEO of Cambrian Innovation, a spinout company from MIT that commercializes environmental products and technologies based on newly discovered electrically active microbes.
