This web-briefing presented the findings of the recent BluePrint Report on hard to degrade wastewaters (can be found at https://www.bluetechresearch.com/tools/reports/summary-hard-degrade-cod-blueprint/) with its author Dr Steve Gluck, O2 Environmental Technology Assessment Group Member.

We believe there is a growing market opportunity for technologies that can deal with difficult to degrade wastewaters. This arises due to increasing focus on micro-pollutants, the general trend towards industrial wastewater re-use and ZLD and a need to deal with RO concentrates from industrial applications.

The technology playing field is diverse and complex, with technologies at various states of development and often applicable to certain niche market areas in terms of flows and concentrations.

The purpose of the BluePrint report was to:

  • Review the COD concentration and BOD/COD ratio of a range of industrial wastewater streams
  • Define different categories of flow and COD concentration to be used to segment the market
  • Define the overall technology-tree used to group the technologies into classes
  • Present a competitive landscape and horizon scan of the players active, current stage in terms of the market adoption and technology readiness
  • Provide overall key-takeaways on our assessment of how the technologies stack up against one another and where they have their sweet spots
