Waste-to-Water and Energy Solutions Proposed for Terafab at Giga Texas
Detailed proposal for JDG-ERMS system to convert Austin sewage and refuge waste into ultra-pure water and energy for Terafab's massive operational needs, addressing water scarcity and sustainability.
Read as thread →"JDG-ERMS can realistically produce more than enough high-purity distilled / ultra-pure water (UPW) to meet Terafab’s projected annual needs, both initially and with Austin’s future growth."
— @JohnDaniel144
Key Points
- Terafab water demand: 1-3+ billion gallons/year at full scale
- JDG-ERMS uses Walnut Creek WWTP (expanding to 100 MGD) and city waste for distilled water and biogas/syngas energy
- Creates circular economy, exceeding needs with surplus and net-positive energy
