VISIT EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERINGLAB WEBSITECV

His fundamental work has focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms and pathways of the microbial nitrogen cycle and its links to the global carbon, water and energy cycles. His applied work ranges from large-scale centralized wastewater treatment systems to community scale decentralized resource recovery systems and technologies across the globe.

The key insight of Chandran’s research and applications thereof is that certain combinations of mixed microbial communities, similar to those that occur naturally, can be used to mitigate the harmful environmental impacts of wastewater and to extract useful products. This approach also involves reduced chemical and energy inputs relative to traditional treatments and has the added benefit of preventing algal blooms downstream by maximizing nitrogen removal. More recently, using ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, Chandran has enabled the transformation of bio-generated methane gas into methanol, a chemical that is both easily transported and widely useful in industry (including in the wastewater industry).

 AquaNova LLCVladimir NovotnyProfessor Emeritus, Consultant Small Business Power Generation: Renewable Vladimir Novotny, PhD, P.E., BCEE, Professor Emeritus at Northeastern University, Boston (MA) and Marquette University, Milwaukee (WI), also Partner at AquaNova LLC.
Since 1973 till 2002 I was Professor at Marquette University teaching and guiding undergraduate and graduate students and founded Institute for Urban Environmental Risk Management. In 2002 I became a CDM-Smith Chair Professor at Northeastern University and founded the Center for Urban Environmental Studies. In 2012 I became Emeritus Professor, devoting my time to professional consulting at AquaNova LLC, Fulbright sponsored visiting professorships in Italy and Czechia, writing books and articles, and family.
In 2006 I received grants from the NSF and Johnson Foundation to organize an international workshop on Cities of the Future in the Wright designed Wingspread conference center in Wisconsin gave impetus to the IWA’s “Cities of the Future (COF)” initiatives. Between 2009 and 2013 I was a Member of the IWA Steering Committee for COF. Through AquaNovaLLC and as a licensed engineer I have consulted to clients in US, Italy and Czechia, published textbooks, nationwide manuals and edited proceedings, 180 refereed journal and proceedings articles. My latest books Water Centric Sustainable Communities (2010) and Integrated Sustainable Urban Water, Energy and Solids Management (2020) and recent six journal publications and two research reports are pertinent to this proposed DoE funded project.
After my university retirement I devoted my research and writing to studying and developing a concept of total urban decarbonated water, energy and waste solids (including plastics and tires) management system, including also landscape. The systems described in 2022 Inter. Journal of Hydrogen Energy and literature focused on sequestering emitted CO2 and biogas burning to producing hydrogen, renewable energy and resources such as clean water, solid carbon (graphene), concentrated CO2, O2 and NH3, phosphorus, acetates, possibly rare metals with zero GHG emissions. My research and publishing also suggested onsite conversion of extracted fossil gas into hydrogen, energy and by adding Haber -Bosh producing ammonium from extracted CH4 converted to H2 and from concentrated flue air N2 described in https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydene.2022.01.085; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydene.2022.11.095. This planned decarbonization requires textbooks and guidelines which would be the product of our activities.

 Cetogenix (NZ) LtdDr Daniel GapesChief Science Officer Small Business Bioenergy Cetogenix is a cleantech company that has developed a Hydrothermal Oxidation (HTO) based technology – Ceto-Boost™ - for the conversion of wet organic waste streams (such as sewage sludge) into renewable energy and materials. Unlike most other advanced thermal conversion processes, Ceto-Boost™ is targeting the deconstruction of these wastes rather than the destruction, using moderate process conditions to maximise efficiency and recoverable resources such as ammonia.

When applied to sewage sludges and other wet organic wastes (e.g. manures), Ceto-Boost™ breaks down the organic solids into simple components such as acetic acid and ammonia, generating a highly recoverable product stream. This results in >100% increases in available ammonia (both quantity and concentration) able to be recovered from wastewater treatment sludge streams. Further, metals tend to be retained within the particulate fraction, facilitating easy separation from the bulk liquid phase.

The Cetogenix team has had >20 years of R&D experience in the application of HTO and has developed a deep understanding of how to optimise the process conditions. The Ceto-Boost™ modular HTO system is currently at TRL5 stage of development, with a large-scale prototype and extensive laboratory facilities in place.
We see opportunities for our technology to provide an enhanced ammonia yield, and a simplified aqueous matrix for subsequent extraction of ammonia and valuable metals from the originally complex wet organic sludge resources.

 University of British ColumbiaSteven HallamProfessor Academic Bioenergy We operate state-of-the-art biobanking and automation facilities useful in the collection, processing and screening of microbial biomass from natural and engineered environments. We have leveraged this infrastructure in the design of time-series bioprocess optimization experiments associated with municipal and agricultural bioenergy facilities and in the large-scale mapping of microbiomes for strategic metal recovery from mine influenced waters and tailings. We design, build, and test functional screening paradigms and computational workflows useful in the recovery of biological parts from environmental genomes as well as in the deployment of these parts in engineered strains for specific bioprocess applications, and we have developed new technology for high-throughput screening of photosynthetic microorganisms in plate-based formats useful in the recovery of optimized microbial cell factories for wastewater treatment and bioproduction. Recent research activities in the lab include the development of cell surface display systems for strategic metal recovery, isolation of new microalgae strains and enrichment cultures with biotechnological potential, and the creation of synthetic microbial consortia combining various host chassis with fungal mycelium to produce engineered living materials with applications in waste resource recovery, sustainable architecture, and food security.

We are interested in being part of a team effort to recover value from various municipal and industrial waste streams based on the practical application of ecological design principles embedded in microbial operating systems at the individual, population, and community levels of biological organization. We see enormous potential in harnessing these microbial biotechnologies to create new climate positive value cycles and in decreasing the carbon footprint of current operations with the goal of entering a new post-waste era. Our experience working with the bioenergy and mining sectors has given us practical wisdom related to the needs and operating specifications of relevant bioprocesses for waste resource recovery and we are committed to seeking foundational advances related to this use inspired research. We would like to bring our facilities, chassis and parts collections, screening platforms, and highly qualified personnel into a collaborative scientific ecosystem that directly contributes to scalable biotechnology innovations with near term impacts.

 Metro VancouverLillian ZarembaProgram Manager, Collaborative Innovation Non-Profit Bioenergy Metro Vancouver treats 1.8 million litres per day of municipal wastewater. Our team is actively advancing technologies to recover resources, such as nitrogen and hydrogen, from wastewater. We are planning to pilot ammonia-to-hydrogen technologies that leverage ammonia oxidation pathways to produce low-carbon hydrogen. This aligns with our strategic objectives to recover resources, generate renewable energy, reduce our carbon footprint, and support sustainable economic growth.

Specifically, we are interested in:
• Advancing ammonia recovery processes to allow continuous operation with varying flow rates and concentrations in municipal wastewater streams.
• Optimizing ammonia-to-hydrogen conversion to minimize energy consumption, by-product generation, and consumable inputs.
• Integrating ammonia-to-hydrogen processes into existing wastewater treatment facilities.

We test emerging technologies at pilot scale to assess their potential full-scale implementation at our wastewater treatment facilities. These facilities provide diverse wastewater conditions, offering unique opportunities to advance ammonia-to-hydrogen processes in a real-world operational environment.

We recently completed a feasibility study of ammonia-to-hydrogen systems and initiated the pilot phase of the project with a Request for Expression of Interest (RFEOI) for technology providers, closing in December 2024. This RFEOI is a key step to identify potential solutions to advance and scale ammonia-to-hydrogen processes.
Our expertise is partnering with others to scale up bench-scale research to evaluate how new technologies can contribute to technical and financial objectives. We collaborate with peer utilities worldwide to share knowledge and promote innovation in wastewater treatment and resource recovery.
