ZrO Waste™ Initiatives

Who is ZrO Waste Group working with?

  • BioProducts provides opportunities for processing agricultural waste in an environmentally conscious and economically advantageous manner. The company utilizes cutting-edge technologies, including its own patented technology, to process waste into value-added products. One such opportunity is the alcohol industry, where the distillation process produces significant waste. Watogy is working with BioProducts and the Kentucky Bourbon industry to remediate this waste, reducing the burden on community wastewater treatment facilities and increasing energy efficiency for distillers, resulting in a more sustainable and environmentally responsible beverage.

  • Founded in 1798 as one of the nation's first city-owned, public universities, the University of Louisville (UofL) is a vital ecosystem that creates thriving futures for students, their community, and society.

    As one of only 80 universities in the United States to earn recognition by the Carnegie Foundation as both a Research 1 and a Community Engaged university, they are uniquely positioned to work with companies and organizations who are developing technology that will change society for the better.

    Watogy is proud to partner with the University of Louisville to conduct testing, research, and advanced modeling to make Watogy the best product it can be.

  • Robur, an Italian manufacturer of advanced heating and cooling technologies since 1956, aims to create useful objects for people and their communities while focusing on the environment. Robur's GAHPs (Gas Absorption Heat Pumps) utilize natural gas and renewable energy, based on Albert Einstein's studies. This innovative approach ensures future growth opportunities by providing the highest thermal efficiency through a single natural gas unit for heating and air conditioning. Robur's Watogy gas absorption heat pump can process companies' waste and use that energy to power its units, providing controlled temperature for space cooling and refrigeration. ZrO Waste Group is excited to develop this partnership to offer cooling and chilling solutions to its customers.

  • BlackBox Energy Systems are developing the world's best energy technology, focusing on clean, efficient energy production and storage. They are bringing their motor and micro-turbine technology to the market. Efficient energy generation is essential for sustainability. BlackBox and ZrO Waste Group are developing novel technology for distributed power generation and energy storage systems, including direct drive micro-turbine generator systems that can combine with Watogy for generating electricity, grid-tie backup generators, and off-grid power production.

  • The Office of Sustainability (OS) of Jefferson County, KY, including Louisville, works with residents, organizations, and agencies to develop and implement Louisville's climate action and resilience plans. OS aims to achieve 50% GHG reduction by 2030, net zero by 2040, and 100% clean energy by 2040. 95% of the world's bourbon is produced in Kentucky, and many large distillers are in Louisville. The bourbon process uses significant energy and produces waste that can impact health equity. Watogy from ZrO Waste Group can help "green" the local industry and meet climate goals.

  • Morgan Advanced Materials

    In 1856, the Morgan brothers founded the Patent Plumbago Crucible Company in Battersea, London, producing crucibles using graphite to melt metal faster and last longer. Their purpose has been to use advanced materials to make the world more sustainable and improve quality of life. This guides their actions, reducing environmental impact, treating people well, and ensuring good corporate governance. Today, Morgan Advanced Materials manufactures a greener future as a design partner for ZrO Waste, developing their technology into product solutions through application engineering.
