"Applied CleanTech represents a change in how we perceive sewage. Applied CleanTech views wastewater as a mine of valuable resources. The SRS™, which has been �eld-tested and installed around the world, introduces a technology that creates a win-win solution for WWTPs and the environment."
Dr. Refael Aharon, Founder & CEO
Prevent Sludge Rather Than Treat ItWhen WWTPs purify wastewater, they produce the residual by-product, sludge, whose treatment requires huge investments in equipment, operation and maintenance. Excessive amounts of sludge cause an environmental nuisance of global proportions. Sludge treatment and disposal can cost as much as half the total operational costs of WWTPs.
Environmental Bene�ts Less sludge means less incineration, fewer land�lls, and reduced surface and ground water pollution. With less sludge, there is less energy consumption. Since the SRS™ consumes less electricity and forms less methane-containing sludge, GHG emissions are reduced, making WWTPs eligible for valuable carbon credits. Standards for sludge treatment and disposal and water puri�cation are becoming stricter every day. The SRS™ meets the strictest standards.
Presenting a Sustainable, Ef�cient and Environmentally-Friendly Approach to Wastewater Treatment
Leading theSewage MiningRevolutionSRS Sewage ™
Recycling System
The SRS™ extracts suspended solids from wastewater, changing the mass balance and reducing the amount of sludge formed in the treatment process by up to 50%. By reducing sludge formation from the very outset of the treatment process, the SRS™ creates an ef�cient and clean method that reduces the cost of treating, transporting, and disposing of sludge.
Sewage MiningThe Sewage Recycling System (SRS™) extracts suspended solids from wastewater before they become sludge. It reduces sludge formation by up to 50%, enabling the WWTP to bene�t from a process that is organically half-loaded.The SRS™ traps the cellulose component inherent in wastewater, transforming sewage treatment into sewage mining, and introducing a model for sustainable, ef�cient and environmentally friendly wastewater management.

How it WorksThe SRS™ takes in raw wastewater after screening and grit removal. It produces Recyllose™ and wastewater half-loaded with solids, oils and organic content.
After screening and grit removal, raw wastewater is pumped into the SRS™. It passes through a primary cleaner to remove excess grit.
Recyllose™ is heated, pasteurized and processed to over 90% dry matter. The SRS™ produces its own heat, and requires no external energy source.
Dried Recyllose™, now in pulp form, is condensed into pellets suitable for long-term storage, transportation, and industrial application.

Dry Zone SRS Sewage ™Recycling System
Recyllose™The sewage mining outcome, Recyllose™, is a cellulose-based substance produced by the SRS™, and converted and packed into pellets on-site. It is a recoverable, valuable resource that is used in the plastics, insulation and construction industries; as an energy-ef�cient bio-fuel, pulp and paper additive, fodder or feedstock. Recyllose™ reduces the use of fossil fuels and timbered trees, reducing GHG emissions. The SRS™ transforms this biologically clean, pasteurized commodity into tailor-made forms and sizes suitable for different industrial uses, in accordance with customers' speci�cations and needs at the WWTP site.

Our Business Models: Buy or Lease Your SRS™ You are invited to establish a relationship with Applied CleanTech by buying or leasing a SRS™. When purchased, the SRS™ is installed by Applied CleanTech and comes with a one-year full warranty. When leased, the SRS™ is installed, operated and maintained by Applied CleanTech for a periodic service fee. In both cases, Applied CleanTech owns the Recyllose™, which it collects and removes from your site, unless another arrangement is agreed upon. Applied CleanTech operates globally via local distributors. For more information, visit:www.appliedcleantech.com

SRS Sewage ™Recycling System
About Applied CleanTech Recognizing sewage as a resource from which useful commodities can be mined, Applied CleanTech has developed a groundbreaking sewage recycling technology that extracts suspended solids from raw wastewater and turns them into the revenue-generating, bio-based product, Recyllose™, instead of sludge. Since 2007, the company’s proprietary Sewage Recycling System (SRS™) has provided an integrated solution that reduces sludge formation at municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), reduces wastewater treatment operating costs, and increases WWTP capacity. Plants using the SRS™ have reduced their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), making them eligible for carbon credits. The SRS™ has been successfully installed around the world.
