between the United States and Europe,

in the process of selling and building its first
system in the United States.

beef slaughterhouses, in Italy and abroad, "
said Laura Silvello, marketing manager
with Fluence Corp. " We have some plants
in Argentina and in Spain, basically all over
the world, but we are the leader in Italy for
this kind of treatment, mainly at poultry
slaughterhouses but also for cattle and pigs
as well. "

In essence, Fluence Corp.
designs facilities at the plant to
gather and treat wastewater and
byproducts and turn them into
biogas to be used by the company.
" We produce renewable
energy from the wastewater, "
Silvello said.
This gives Fluence Corp.'s
solution to wastewater treatment
and management, used mainly
in Europe, the ability to keep
costs much lower than previous
methods by creating energy
through the process.

In addition to high costs,
disposal of sludge being one of the
highest in Europe, other drivers
of Fluence's technology include
electricity and thermal energy
costs and the processor's ability to
discharge treated water into the
environment and rivers within the
legal limits allowed.
" We reduce the quantity of
sludge that is produced by the
company after the first treatment
and then the company can
produce renewable energy due to
the treatment of the wastewater, "
Silvello said.

Both the traditional method
and Fluence's method have
dissolved air flotation (DAF).
The DAF generates sludge and
pretreated water. In the traditional
method, the sludge goes to
dewatering and is then disposed
of, while the pretreated, or
clarified, water goes to an aerobic
treatment. The process consumes
energy and chemicals making
it costly.
The Fluence method
incorporates a few extra steps to
