Sludge Watch ==> Video from BC: Treating Wastewater as a Resource

[Jim Smallwood]

Christianne,

I received this email via Maureen Riley. I work with 2 companies; one
converts sewage sludge through a gasification process into electricity
and the unit is zero emissions. 

The other company builds and installs deep shaft wastewater treatment
plants which can also be fitted into existing plants to treat the
incoming at 1/4 of the cost, 1/5 of the footprint.

Can we follow through together?

Regards,
James Smallwood
