Pilot Plant Commissioning Progress
Construction of the pilot units has been finalized, and all systems have transitioned into their test operation phase.

The anaerobic reactor has already produced its first biogas, which was safely flared for demonstration purposes. The ultrafiltration (UF) unit has generated its first cubic meters of further polished effluent, while the membrane bioreactor (MBR) successfully filtered raw biological influent through the UF seaweed-membrane module. The biological treatment stage within the MBR is currently developing, enabling the upcoming demonstration of high-quality product water suitable for industrial applications.

In parallel, the continuous sand filter for advanced effluent polishing has been commissioned. It will supply irrigation water for the hydroponic system, which is already operational. Within the hydroponic unit, the production of seedlings for urban landscaping has successfully begun.

Presentation at the IMESA Conference
During the upcoming IMESA Conference, the demonstration facilities will be presented to a broad professional audience – both through a dedicated conference presentation and as part of a guided technical tour.
