Maxim Amosov and I were selected in the shortlist of entries for the Incheon International Design Awards 2010 – Green Heart competition with our project Biocycler, a fun sketch of a household anaerobic digester. From the competition:
BioCycler is a “plug-and-play” white good installed on an outgoing domestic sewer pipe to intercept organic waste, which is processed to produce heat, electricity, fertilizer, and clean water. The energetic yield is about 1 kWh of electricity and 1 MJ of heat per person per day. The fertilizer is a granulated mineral sludge, potent with phosphates, nitrogen, and potassium. The clean water is disinfected and can be outlet into surface water or reused in irrigation.
