BKT/Tomorrow Water Named as a Key Global Innovator by BlueTech Research

BKT and Tomorrow Water are featured in BlueTech Research’s May 2025 report as key innovators in carbon capture and wastewater treatment, highlighting their integrated Co-Flow Campus model and global partnerships.

BlueTech Report – BKT and Tomorrow Water featured as key innovators in CCU and wastewater treatment.

BKT and its U.S. affiliate Tomorrow Water have been recognized as leading players in carbon capture and wastewater treatment technologies in the May 2025 issue of BlueTech Research, a renowned global water intelligence firm.

In its latest report titled “Carbon Capture and Water,” BlueTech Research analyzed the carbon-neutral strategies of major water technology companies. Alongside industry giants like Veolia, Xylem/Evoqua, and Aquatech International, BKT/Tomorrow Water was featured as a core case study.

Rather than developing its own carbon capture technology, the report highlights that BKT/Tomorrow Water is taking a differentiated approach—leveraging its expertise in wastewater treatment and resource recovery to offer an integrated platform for Carbon Capture and Utilization (CC/CCU).

Co-Flow Campus Highlighted as a Model for Innovation

A key focus of the report is BKT’s Co-Flow Campus, an innovative approach that transforms conventional wastewater treatment plants into multi-platform hubs for recovering water, energy, and nutrients. The model is recognized for enhancing resource efficiency while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Core technologies featured in the report include:

  • AAD (Advanced Anaerobic Digestion): High-performance anaerobic digestion
  • Draco THP (Thermal Hydrolysis Process): Boosts biogas production
  • Proteus: High-efficiency primary treatment and wastewater-based carbon recovery
  • AMX (Anammox): Energy-saving nitrogen removal

Spotlight on Global Partnerships

The report also highlights two global collaborations led by BKT/Tomorrow Water as examples of its international impact:

  • ReCarbon Partnership (CCU):
    Combines ReCarbon’s plasma reforming with BKT’s biogas optimization to convert methane and CO₂ from wastewater into hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
  • Capture6 Project (Project Octopus – DAC & Water):
    A collaboration with Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-water) and U.S.-based Capture6 to implement Direct Air Capture (DAC) using brine from desalination. The project aims to build a commercial facility capable of capturing 500,000 tons of CO₂ annually through mineralization.

Driving Global Impact Through Sustainability and Integration

BlueTech Research concluded that BKT/Tomorrow Water is evolving beyond the role of a technology provider, emerging as a global solution partner that enables both sustainable water management and carbon neutrality.

A BKT spokesperson stated, “This recognition reflects the success of our integrated technology and global partnership strategies. We will continue to expand our role in the global market with wastewater-driven carbon neutrality solutions at the core.”
