Utilization of malting company waster water for hydrogen production and water cleaning

Malting company waste water contains high concentrations of many valuable nutrients such as sugars and proteins. Those compounds have to be removed before discharge the waste water. The removal of those compounds costs a lot of money to the company. But we have bacterial strains which can grow in the waste water and produce hydrogen. Bacteria also clean the waste water after using the nutrients for their growth. So our technology can clean the waste water and produce valuable biogas hydrogen.
