עמוק בבוצה - מכוני הטיהור הם מכרה הזהב הבא
לא כולם חושבים על זה, אך הטיפול בשפכים הוא מנהג מודרני יחסית. בעוד שהשימוש בתעלות ביוב כדי להרחיק את המים העכורים היה נפוץ כבר ברומא העתיקה, רק במאה ה-19, עם התפתחותן של הערים הגדולות, החלו להבין כי חייבים להפחית את כמות המזהמים במים המשומשים המשוחררים לסביבה.

Going Down The Drain - Published Nov 14, 2009 - Garden State
Sewage - human, agricultural and industrial - is an enormous untapped energy source. It represents some of the world's finest biological matter, and in America, as elsewhere, it is literally going down the drain.
Recognizing sewage as a resource and alternative source of energy, Israeli company Applied CleanTech is ready to commercialize its mechanical and chemical solution that separates sewage into raw materials like cellulose and oil. The company further aims to collect every bit of solid waste that ends up at the water treatment plant, and recycle it into valuable raw materials.

Qteros partners with Applied CleanTech on wastewater to ethanol process - Published Oct 22, 2009 - MissionZero.org
Qteros and Applied CleanTech announced details today of a partnership to develop a process for turning municipal wastewater into ethanol for vehicle fuel and other uses.
Qteros, a venture-backed biofuel company based in Massachusetts, has entered into a joint development project with Applied CleanTech (ACT), a commodities recycling company based in Israel, to use ACT’s Recyllose™-based feedstock, produced from municipal wastewater solids, for efficient and low-cost ethanol production. ACT’s Sewage Recycling System (SRS), an innovative solution for recycling wastewater solids, produces alternative energy sources for the production of electricity or ethanol, while reducing sludge formation and lowering wastewater treatment plant costs and increasing plant capacity.

Turning Wastewater into Ethanol - Published Oct 19, 2009 - Alternative Energy
As the world continues to search for alternative fuels to fuel our cars and heat our homes, many different opportunities are being explored and there has finally been a significant breakthrough in turning wastewater into ethanol as an automobile fuel source. Qteros and Applied Clean Tech have teamed up to create a biofuel that will get us that much closer to having another true “green” energy source. Water treatment systems are expensive to run and have presented communities where they are located with some significant challenges. Most notably, what they can do with the sludge that is left over once the wastewater has been treated. Plant managers may no longer faced with the difficult task of figuring out this problem |

פיתוח חדש של הסטארט אפ אפלייד קלינטק וחברת Qteros: מערכת להפיכת ביוב לדלק - Published Oct 11, 2009 - The Marker
חברת הסטארט אפ הישראלית אפלייד קלינטק (Applied Cleantech) וחברת Qteros האמריקאית הציגו פתרון המאפשר למחזר ביוב עירוני ולהפיק ממנו דלק ירוק מסוג אתנול. דלק זה יכול לשמש להנעת מכוניות פרטיות.
אפלייד קלינטק פיתחה מערכת בשם SRS - Sewage Recycling system, אשר יכולה להפיק חשמל או אתנול ובאותו הזמן להפחית את כמויות הבוצה הנוצרת במכוני שפכים. פיתוח זה יוזיל בצורה משמעותית את עלות הטיפול בביוב, ויגדיל את הקיבולת של מכון הטיהור. מערכת ה-SRS הותקנה במספר מכוני שפכים בישראל ובארה"ב. החברה מסרה כי בעזרת שימוש בטכנולוגיה המשותפת, ניתן יהיה ליצר כ-450 ליטר של אתנול מטונה אחת של Recyllose, שהינה הבוצה הנוצרת בהליך הטיהור.

Qteros and Applied CleanTech Partner to Produce Ethanol from Cellulose Extracted from Sewage Sludge - Published Oct 6, 2009 - Green Car Congress
Biofuels company Qteros has entered into a joint development project with Applied CleanTech (ACT), a commodities recycling company based in Israel, to use ACT’s Recyllose-based feedstock, produced from municipal wastewater solids (sewage sludge), for more efficient and lower-cost ethanol production by Qteros’ Q Microbe technology. Qteros’ system converts a wide array of cellulosic biomass directly into ethanol in a single step, consolidating enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, largely eliminating enzymes and associated pretreatment, and simplifying the production process. |

Qteros, Applied CleanTech to Harness Power of Poo to Make Ethanol - Published on Oct 6, 2009 - Greentech Media
Qteros and Applied CleanTech are giving new life to municipal wastewater solids — a cleaned up term for what most of us call poo — by turning it into fuel for cars. Yes, poo-powered cars may be in our future.
That future may still be a ways off. Like other cellulosic ethanol ventures, it’s in the demonstration plant phase and has yet to prove it is in fact, commercially viable.
Still, the concept is intriguing and appears less costly than other cellulosic ethanol ventures. Plus, it’s great fodder for the watercooler — not the dinner table.

Poop-based ethanol in the horizon - Published on October 6, 2009 - "The Energy Collection"
Municipal wastewater solids could be a "hot" biofuel feedstock in the future thanks to continuous developments from companies such as Qteros and Applied CleanTech (ACT).
The companies announced today that they have formed a joint development project for more efficient and low-cost ethanol production using ACT's Sewage Recycling System to produce the waste-based feedstock Recyllose.
