WaterHub is a modular and integrated infrastructure solution by BIOPOLUS that caters to the needs of urban slum communities with little access to basic services.
Enhancing efficiency and recycling
It enables access to bio-based infrastructure services like sanitation, waste water treatment, energy generation, food production and even social services. The focus is on enhancing efficiency and recycling by closing the urban water, food, waste and energy loops through the use of novel technologies that are integrated and bundled (combining different modules) in one system.
All-in-one
It therefore includes agricultural production with aeroponics, water recycling for non-potable use, nutrient recovery from organic waste, community services (toilet, shower, public kitchen health service, education etc), drinking water treatment, energy recovery from wastewater and organic waste etc.
WaterHubs for individual neighbourhoods can serve from 5,000 to 50,000 people and can expand in the form of a distributed network.

Founders of the Biopolus Alliance
Tha fact that Biopolus was founded by a biotechnologist and an information technologist is no coincidence. We believe that in order for us to be successful we need to be able to combine the latest innovation from both of these fields.
At Biopolus we are using advanced dynamic modelling solutions to design and optimize biological processes. Optimal performance and smooth operation of BioMakeries is ensured by state-of-the-art process control systems that enable remote supervision of these factories.
Sophisticated IT solutions are also at the foundation of how we deliver our products and services. Online retail was born as a bookstore, then people started to buy more expensive things online: computers, cars, houses. Now they will be able to buy Living Factories, complete with engineering services, specialized equipment and operational services, online.
I think the biggest innovations of the twenty-first century will be the intersection of biology and technology. A new era is beginning, just like the digital one when I was my son's age.Steve Jobs
DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM - Making Synergies the Rule
Biopolus provides the unique tools & the hardware for developers to create the best applications for win-win technology and business solutionsBioMakeries are general purpose multi-input and multi-output bio-factories which can convert almost any kind of organic materials, organic wastes and wastewater into products for sale.
While Biopolus has been developing a number of its own product applications, the opportunities are huge and so numerous, that the system is designed in a way, that development partners can use the BioMakery OpSys to develop their own applications for co-sale with the BioMakery technology.
Biopolus is going to build a BioMakery Product App Store of processes which can be purchased together with a newly built BioMakery or downloaded to run on an existing factory and thus can provide a revenue for our App development partners.
BIOPOLUS CORE - Focusing on Our Best Values
As Technology Suppliers, our core competency is in the Operating System Software, Bioprocessor Manufacturing, Product Development and Technology & Engineering Support.Biopolus is focusing on the development and sale of its core BioMakery Technology and related special equipment and services.
We believe that working with partners in the development, the construction and the operation phases can significantly accelerate the spread of the technology and can multiply both the financial, social and sustainability impact of Biopolus.
We are happy to share the benefits of a broad spectrum cooperation while focusing on our competencies we can ensure that our core technology will always stay ahead of the industry.
Sales & Distribution Network
To spread the technology worldwide we are building a network of engineering, contractor, construction and operation & maintenance companies.Biopolus is seeking partnership with key industry players with established presence in their respective markets for supporting widespread adoption of BioMakeries.
We are working with consultants, urban developers, utility companies, EPC firms and general contractors who act as agents or re-sellers to us. We believe that companies with apt experience in a certain geography and market are most suited to build BioMakeries while our job is to provide all the support and services that they need to be successful in bidding for jobs, project execution and operation.
From Linear to Circular
Today natural resources are brought into cities, processed, consumed, and the waste products disposed outside of urban centers, and with increasing environmental impacts. This linear production path of inputs and outputs will not be sustainable as cities continue to grow. Escalating quantities of resources will be needed to feed the growing population, while the wastes will be transported over ever increasing distances as city limits expand.
The future belongs to those who understand that doing more with less is compassionate, prosperous, and even enduring, and thus more intelligent, even competitive.Paul Hawken, author of the Ecology of Commerce
URBANIZATION - A Huge Success with Problems
The unrivaled explosive growth of urban population requires paradigm change how we use our resources and how to bring into conformity our cities with Nature.In under four generations our life expectancy doubled and our standard of living increased ten-fold while global population quadrupled. This was enabled by rapid urbanization that increased urban population from 220M to 3.5B.
But this new urban life style creates its own set of increasing challenges. Cities are currently unsustainably resource-hungry while the generated waste is causing ever-increasing impacts on nature itself.
This flow-through, or linear phenomenon of resource inputs, processing, and associated waste generation requires a radical change in what we refer to as urban metabolism. As cities continuously expand, escalating quantities of resources will be needed to feed the growing population, while places for both disposing waste, and for generating resources will shrink. At the same time, the necessary distances for importing raw goods and disposing of waste products will increase as city limits expand outward, and into other urban centers, further aggravating the problem.
A new mode of urban metabolism is needed that reduces resource consumption and waste production simultaneously. A cyclical structure which is able to transform waste into resources in a sustainable way can accomplish both. It is the resulting reduction of necessary inputs and elimination of wasteful outputs that we call "closing the loop".
GLOBAL WARMING - From Fossil to Bio-based Economy
To avoid catastrophic overheating of Earth, we have no choice but to shift from fossil to renewable and reusable bio-based production resources.Oil is not only used for energy production, approximately 20% of consumption comprises the source for industrial products such as plastics. This process is releasing long-stored carbon from below the Earth,s crust into the atmosphere which accelerates the climate dilemma and bring us closer to the limits of our resources. These processes can be reversed by using renewable biomass and the byproducts of natural metabolic processes for industrial production of the same useful materials we extract from oil, or other fossil carbon sources.
WATER CRISES - The Urge for Smart Water Reuse
Water scarcity and declining quality have become the No. 1 global security issue, water being the key driver in the water, food and energy nexus.
Urban life, and the energy-, industrial and food production that go with it are all dependent on water of adequate qualities and quantities. As cities grow, they put increasing stress on water supplies while vast quantities of disposed water further impact existing sources. A sustainable economy requires a distributed urban water reuse infrastructure that limits the distances we must move water for various uses. This distributed infrastructure makes water reuse possible thus reducing both fresh water and energy consumption.

Generic purpose biofactories
In the heart of the system lays an interconnected and interacting network of bioreactor arrays, where the individual reactor-cells themselves work as high-speed and high-efficiency multi-core bio-processors. The reactor-system is completed with upstream and downstream processing units to make the whole factory suitable to process wastewater and almost any kind of organic waste into products for sale.
BIO-PROCESSORS - The Intelligence Inside
Bioreactors in biological production systems are like microchips in a computer: you win with smaller, faster, cheaper and smarter processors. BioMakeries are based on our unique multicore-multipurpose bio-processors, a technological breakthrough that can make closing the urban metabolic carbon-, water-, food- and energy loops a reality. These processors consist of an array of specialized bioreactors which house a series of engineered ecosystems. The bioreactors provide ideal conditions for adaptive ecologies to develop thereby optimizing their metabolic capabilities. This in turn results in much faster and more efficient biological processing than possible in conventional reactors.

Flexibility of biological manufacturing is based on a modular multi-processing platform where you can run different production applications on demand.The engineered ecosystems in these bio-processors can be configured to metabolize various influent streams into a broad range of useful products. The significance of this configuration flexibility is that a BioMakery can address resource availability, disposal requirements and market demand issues simultaneously.
In and of itself a bio-processor can handle a wide range of applications; the fact that they can be entirely reconfigured enables future transformations of the processor if required throughout the life of the BioMakery.
BIOMAKERY - A New Class of Buildings
Closing the metabolic loop is a newly emerging urban function which calls for adequate architectural forms and expressions, fusing public spaces with bio-manufacturing and water reuse.The Biopolus technology solution offers a unique opportunity to integrate biological production, waste and wastewater recycle functions into urban environments.
BioMakeries are modern buildings with very small physical and psychological footprints but great architectural flexibility. Far from being just another type of factory these are multi-functional buildings containing opportunities for education, recreation, research and even urban farming.
