[미국] Cambrian Innovation, 2015년 기술 선구자로 임명

세계경제포럼에서 최근 물 및 바이오에너지 기술 제공자인 Cambrian Innovation이 수자원을 지속적으로 관리하기 위해 요구되는 에너지와 비용을 절감하는 혁신적인 생체전기 솔루션에 대해 2015년 기술 선구자로 지명됐다고 밝혔다.

Cambrina은 공정에서 중요한 클린 에너지를 발생시킴으로써 생체전기 기술을 비용 효과적인 처리 폐수를 생산하는데 이용했다. 회사의 주요제품인 EcoVolt는 산업 시설에 사용하여 생물학적 산소 요구량(BOD)을 90% 절감했으며 시설 전력 요구의 50% 이상을 만들었다.  또한, 처리된 물은 현장에서 재사용 되며, 담수 요구와 물 집약산업의 물 수요를 효과적으로 절감할 수 있다.

The World Economic Forum recently named Cambrian Innovation, a water and bioenergy technology provider, as a 2015 Technology Pioneer for its innovative bioelectric solution that reduces the cost and energy requirements of sustainably managing water resources.

Cambrian was the only company selected for this year's prestigious distinction -- honoring the most innovative technology companies across a wide range of industries -- that presented a solution for the growing global water crisis.

Cambrian uniquely employs a bioelectric technology to cost-effectively clean wastewater by generating significant clean energy in the process. The company's flagship product EcoVolt is deployed at industrial facilities and can reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD) by up to 90 percent, while generating more than 50 percent of facilities' electricity needs. Treated water can later be reused on-site, dramatically reducing freshwater requirements and enabling water-intensive businesses to grow.

Each year since 2000, the World Economic Forum celebrates the power of technology and innovation by awarding companies on the cutting edge of their industries with the distinction of Technology Pioneers. Past winners, including Nest, Dropbox, Spotify, and Google, have demonstrated the ability to harness creativity to design and create transformative solutions. This year, Cambrian Innovation will join World Economic Forum Technology Pioneers ranging from low-cost computing to off-grid electricity.

The 2015 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneers will be honored during the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2014, which will take place from September 10 to 12 in Tianjin, People's Republic of China. The event, celebrating science, technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship, will bring together more than 1,500 leaders from business, government and research from more than 90 countries.
