– co-hosted by NUI Galway in particular
• Prof Vincent O’Flaherty – Acting Head of School of Natural Sciences, NUI Galway & PI at TCBB
• Expertise in high-rate, low-temperature AD Wastewater Treatment
• Wastewater’s potential for biogas (bioCH4) production

TCBB industry member, NVP Energy - novel low-temperature anaerobic digestion wastewater
technology originating from research and activity by Prof Vincent O’Flaherty and his research group at NUI, Galway.
• The NVP Energy technology was licensed from NUI, Galway in June 2013.
• The process, which operates at temperatures <20◦C, treats effluent that originates from industrial and municipal sources, without the need for heat supply
• In addition, the technology can reduce organic sludge volume by up to 90% when compared to aerobic systems.
• The technology is very attractive as it has produced effluent which adheres to effluent release standards, e.g. Urban Wastewater Directive (UWWD) release standards, without the need for post-treatment.
