?? Technology Spotlight: Brightwater Pasteurizer ?? ??? ?? ??The Brightwater Pasteurizer reduces pathogens in wastewater by heating it to 80°C (176°F) for 90 seconds. This sanitizes urine according to US EPA regulations, unlocking new opportunities for community-scale peecycling. Integrated heat recovery reduces energy requirements to an average energy consumption of 120 Watts (similar to a standard desktop computer), or 15 Watt Hours per Liter of recovered fertilizer! ?? ????Laboratory analysis of urine treated with the Brightwater Pasteurizer at the Rich Earth Institute has shown that nitrogen losses through the pasteurization process are negligible.
