U.Watech, Inc. is a company located at 91, LS-ro 116beon-gil, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, led by CEO Park Ki-tae. Its main business is an organic waste reduction system utilizing supercritical CO2, and it belongs to the manufacture of other general-purpose machinery. Currently, 6 employees are working.

"U.Watech, Inc. is a small and medium-sized enterprise established in January 2021, recognizing the need for carbon-neutral technologies through the development of organic waste recycling technology. We are particularly focused on developing ammonia recovery technology, aiming to regenerate up to 80% of organic waste into biogas by 2050, thereby developing sustainable environmental technologies. We were selected as a promising technology (organic sludge reduction) by the Lab-Specialized Startup Leading University in 2020 and recognized for our technological prowess by being selected for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' Korea Technology Finance Corporation U-Tech Valley Startup Program in 2021."

Business Areas

• Organic Waste Reduction System Using Supercritical CO2: U.Watech develops and operates a system that dries and reduces organic waste using supercritical CO2, which is in a high-temperature, high-pressure state. This is an eco-friendly technology that solves odor problems and effectively treats waste.
• Development of Ammonia Recovery Technology: We are focusing on developing technology to recover high-concentration ammonia from the condensate generated during organic waste drying. The ammonia recovery technology using a conductive separation membrane is scheduled to be released as a demonstration product in the second half of this year.
• Wastewater Reuse System: We provided Korea's first golf course turf water supply facility using treated wastewater and have been operating it to date. This is an eco-friendly water treatment system that purifies and recycles wastewater.

Products

• Supercritical CO2 Sludge Drying System: This is Korea's first sludge drying system developed using supercritical CO2, enabling efficient treatment and recycling of organic waste. It includes technology for drying livestock manure, coffee grounds, etc., and upcycling them into fertilizers or solid fuel pellets.
• High-Concentration Ammonia Recovery Technology: This technology separates and recovers ammonia with high selectivity from high-concentration ammonium wastewater using a conductive separation membrane. This contributes to reducing environmental pollution and promoting resource circulation through ammonia valorization.
• Turf Water Supply Facility Utilizing Reclaimed Wastewater: This system supplies highly purified reclaimed wastewater as turf water for golf courses. It contributes to solving water scarcity issues and reducing costs, while enabling a stable water supply.

Special Notes

• Innovative Supercritical CO2 Technology: We have developed Korea's first sludge drying system using supercritical CO2, offering innovative solutions in waste treatment and recycling. This technology applies supercritical technology, which is utilized in various fields such as food, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors, to the drying of organic waste.
• Solving Environmental Problems and Contributing to Carbon Neutrality: Through the development of organic waste resource recovery and ammonia recovery technologies, we are leading carbon-neutral technologies and actively contributing to solving environmental problems. We focus on creating a sustainable environment through waste valorization.
• Application and Scalability of Various Waste Resource Valorization: Beyond organic waste, we are expanding our business by exploring technologies to recover valuable resources from industrial waste such as secondary batteries. This demonstrates our growth potential in the high-value waste resource valorization market.
