Ossus Renewables make major breakthrough with with bioreactor using waste from industries; receives major pre-Series A round funding.
Here’s an article posted in Financial Express.
According to the article,
- Ossus Biorenewables is a company that specializes in green hydrogen production
- They have developed a technology that allows for on-demand, on-site hydrogen production
- This technology is expected to revolutionize the hydrogen industry by providing a more efficient and sustainable solution
Ossus Biorenewables’ bioreactor, OB HydraCel, works by using waste carbon in industrial effluents as the starting material for green hydrogen production. Here is a step-by-step explanation of the process:
- Target: The bioreactor targets the dilute organic content in effluents for biohydrogen production.
- Select: It selectively breaks down the organic content using electroactive microbial communities.
- Encapsulate: The microorganisms are encapsulated within the bioreactor.
- Produce: The bioreactor produces hydrogen gas using the encapsulated microorganisms and the waste carbon from the effluent.
Some important features of the OB HydraCel are:
Our specialty focus areas include 
- Self-Powered: The bioreactor runs on localized power generated using an attached generator, ensuring it does not directly draw power from the site.
- Retrofittable Design: The bioreactor is designed to be retrofittable, ensuring it takes up no additional space and avoids pressure drops.
- Minimum Footprint: The bioreactor is designed to resemble pipelines at the site, ensuring a minimum footprint.
- Minimum Downtime: The bioreactor attaches directly to the effluent pipeline, acting as a bypass to ensure minimum downtime.
This innovative bioreactor technology allows for on-demand, on-site green hydrogen gas generation, reducing the need for transportation and increasing efficiency.
