Company Summary
Paradigm's sludge treatment technologies enable municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants to work much better and cost less. With "MicroSludge" and "Closing the Loop" technologies, anaerobic digesters work far faster and more efficiently so more sludge is destroyed and more biogas (a renewable fuel) is produced. This avoids high capital costs to build added digester capacity, saves on-going costs for sludge disposal, and reduces GHGs.
