with 🎙️ Cesar Narvaez, CEO & Founder of NXO Engineering 

💧 NXO Engineering is a deep tech startup in the Water and Sanitation industry developing a new generation of wastewater treatment plants.

What we covered: 

🌱 How Green Algae might not be your enemy, despite years of Activated Sludge bulking 

🍏 How it might be about time to challenge the status quo in Wastewater Treatment 

🌱 How beyond CAPEX considerations, looking at energy consumptions, OPEX and carbon emissions shall be the future of the Water Industry 

🧮 How NXO managed to run a successful proof of concept against all odds and market standards 

🍏 How leveraging green algae may turn eutrophication into a positive concept 

🍏 How decision-makers are ready to shift their Key Performance Indicators to global impact 

🌱 How the next step will be to turn the process totally chemical-free by leveraging cacti slime 

🍏 How NXO managed to successfully downsize equipment and processes 

🧮 How they turn out to build an EPC (almost) from scratch, and how challenging that may be 

🏭 How the concept might be adapted for industrial applications and the company's overall outlook for growth 

🍏 Green Algae as deep tech, getting support from the largest french research institutes but also getting their pilot plant degraded 8 (!) times, grit, passion... and much more!

🔥 ... and of course, we concluded with the 𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 🔥
