Eagleridge Innovations Corporation

Eagleridge Innovations Corporation has developed MicroPoP technology, an innovative process designed to eliminate waste activated sludge (WAS) in wastewater treatment. The technology utilizes high-pressure homogenization to lyse bacteria within the sludge, effectively converting it into a readily available, liquified food source for microbes. By transforming this waste into bio-available nutrients, the process enhances biogas production, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and enables resource recovery of nitrogen and phosphorus. The proprietary technology is designed to be integrated into existing municipal and industrial wastewater systems, including those in pulp and paper, food and beverage, and meat processing sectors.

This technology offers a sustainable, cost-effective alternative for utility and industrial operators facing challenges with sludge disposal and treatment costs. By improving the efficiency of microbial digestion, MicroPoP can increase facility throughput capacity, potentially deferring significant capital expenditures for plant expansions. The technology has been de-risked through extensive development, including multiple full-scale demonstration projects and long-term pilot studies. Eagleridge Innovations holds international patents for the process and continues to work toward broad commercial deployment to help clients save on operational costs and meet environmental sustainability targets.
