-
Over two half billion people have no access to say sanitation.
-
We asked brilliant engineers to help to solve this problem.
-
And one of those engineers has actually proposed the solution, where the way is available.
-
Young process returns sewer sludge, just kind the nasty, into clean drinking water, electricity, and ash.
-
This is where the sludge into the machine.
-
It goes up this conveyor belt, displays into these large tubes, we call the dryer, that's where we boil the sludge.
-
And in the boiling process, we separate the water vapor from the soils.
-
The soils are now dry, and we can feed them into the fire.
-
Once we have this very hot fire, we can make high pressure, high temperature steam.
-
And we take that steam, and we send it to the steam machine.
-
And the steam machine drives the generator, that makes electricity that we use for the processor and also access electricity that can be delivered back to the community.
-
The water vapor that's created in the boiling process is run to cleaning system.
-
After we have cleaned, pure water you can possibly imagine.
-
The sanitation system as we know it in the developed world cannot work in developing countries.
-
So what we need in developing countries is a very simple system.
-
The entrepreneur that owns this process would get paid for the input, the sludge.
-
And that same entrepreneur would get paid for the output, electricity, the water, and the ash.
-
I'm very impressed, with the solution we're seeing here, it generates electricity, it generates clean water.
-
It will grow to the every corner of the earth needed because it makes money every day.
-
It's water!
