The startups main users are in the food and beverage industry such as dairies, breweries, wineries and other producers of high strength wastewater like biofuel refineries. With Hexems bioreactor installed, they will be able to significantly reduce their water treatment cost and produce clean energy, which can then be reused directly. In the upcoming months, Hexem will build an industrial demonstrator in its container workshop in Port-Valais, thanks to the FIT Tech Seed loan.
