Objectives / Target companies
••Integrators, wastewater contractors, wastewater design and engineering companies.
••Users who have wastewater to treat on the one hand and use substantial quantities of water for
irrigation or process on the other.
Company profile
Emefcy was founded in 2008 by Eytan Levy and Ronen Shechter, who also founded Aqwise, a
successful wastewater treatment solutions company, with the vision of fundamentally changing the
energy economics of wastewater treatment. Emefcy’s highly skilled multidisciplinary team, consists

technologies for municipal, commercial and industrial plants. Backed by top-tier investors, Emefcy is
perfectly positioned to lead the revolution in the energy economics of wastewater treatment, while
retaining a practical and cost-effective approach to the needs of the customer.
Background of the company
Conventional wastewater treatment consumes 2% of all generated global power (80,000 MW and
57,000,000 tons per year of CO2), amounting to $40B/year. Small wastewater treatment plants
(WWTP) account for 80% of the global WWTP and are complex and expensive to operate. Under these
circumstances Emefcy has developed its solutions: The Electrogenic Bio Reactor (EBR) and the Spiral
Aerobic Biofilm Reactor (SABRE): simple, low cost, modular and scalable wastewater treatment solutions.
With several global innovation awards and a strong scientific background, Emefcy is leading the next
generation in wastewater treatment.
Awards:
••Artemis Project Top 50 Water Company 2011, 2012
••Pollution Engineering Magazine: 10 Top Technologies for 2011
••The Guardian and the Cleantech Group: 2012 Global Cleantech 100 Company
••BlueTech Summit: A top 50 water technology company
••Sustainable World Capital : “A Cleantech Startup to Keep an Eye on”
••Global Water Intelligence: “one of 10 technologies that will save the world”
••CNET: “one of the 5 companies that will contribute to the reduction of the world dependence on fossil fuel”
Technologies & products
Emefcy’s EBR for wastewater treatment is based on three components new to biological wastewater
treatment: - Anodes (in anaerobic conditions): Where the bacterial oxidation of the organic matter occurs -
Cathodes (which are exposed to air): Where the corresponding reduction reaction takes place - An electrical
circuit that includes the external load, connecting the anodes to the cathodes. A biofilm naturally develops
on the anode, oxidizing the organic matter into carbon dioxide. Protons migrate through the water, and
electrons travel through the electric circuit, towards the cathode. The reaction on the cathode is due to a
reduction of atmospheric oxygen in the presence of protons to water. As a result, organic matter is oxidized,
and an electric current is produced, rather than energy being consumed during the process.
Emefcy’s SABRE saves significant energy by eliminating the need to blow compressed air through the
wastewater for aeration. The reactor is based on breathable membranes rolled in a spiral, in which
wastewater flows in constant contact with oxygen.
Oxygen diffuses through the breathable membrane into the wastewater. On the water side of the
membrane an aerobic biofilm develops. Deeper inside the water an anoxic biofilm develops. The
heterogenic microbial population enables the concurrent removal of organic matter and nitrogen.
Nitrification by autotrophic bacteria in the layer attached to the membrane wall and de-nitrification by
heterotrophic bacteria on the anoxic layer, occur simultaneously.

Company profile
Lesico CleanTech is a pioneer in delivering sustainable technologies which recycle or minimize the volume
of liquid waste, primarily desalination rejected brine. The solutions not only help users comply with
stringent regulation, but result in substantial savings in real estate, installation and operational costs.
While clean water technology development and commercialization is our main function it is also a key to
addressing the needs of our clients who seek cost effective sustainable brine discharge solutions which
comply with ever growing stringent regulation aimed to prevent contamination of water resources. We
also provide our clients with specialized advisory services for implementing the value-added solutions.
Year of establishment: 2006
Background of the company
Lesico CleanTech is a subsidiary of Lesico Group (100%), one of the leading privately owned companies
in Israel’s development and construction since 1969. Lesico’s expertise as a developer encompasses
residential, environmental (BOT), energy and civil engineering projects.
Lesico CleanTech was founded in 2006 in Israel and over time has patented a number of platform
treatment technologies which enable liquid waste minimization by enhanced evaporation and a cost
effective high recovery desalination process with an innovative electro dialysis membrane stack. Our
products and services are designed to reduce significantly the acquisition and operation costs of inland
liquid discharge installations and optimize the use of natural resources and provide significant reduction
in footprint.
Examples of projects
1.	 Enhanced evaporation of Reverse Osmosis rejected waste in a desalination plant of General Motors in
North America
2.	Enhanced evaporation of Reverse Osmosis rejected waste in a desalination plant in Victoria Australia
3.	Enhanced evaporation of Reverse Osmosis rejected waste in a desalination plant in Southern Israel
4.	A pilot of high efficiency electro dialysis is now undertaken in partnership with Mekorot- Israel’s
national water company
Technologies & products
General description: WAIV- Wind Aided Intensified eVaporation: WAIV is a state-of-the-art enhanced
evaporation technology operated by the wetting of evaporation surfaces, mounted on suitably
constructed modules. The device uses the driving power of the wind, which drives away excess humidity
from the surfaces to intensify the evaporation process by a magnitude of 15-20 times more than a
traditional evaporation pond!
Unique value proposition of WAIV: The WAIV serves as a cost effective alternative to brine disposal
methods such as evaporation ponds and brine concentrators with a drastically reduced footprint (uses
only 10% of the size of the land required for evaporation pond!) using wind instead of heat from fossil
fuel. WAIV also saves on energy costs by using less petroleum based raw material like Liner used in
evaporation ponds to prevent leakage. Overall, solving the brine disposal problem promotes brackish
water over seawater desalination and saves energy because brackish water uses less energy than
seawater and also less energy because brackish water can be desalinated where needed at inland sites
without depending on energy consuming distribution network.
Function of the product(s): The WAIV uses only 10% of the size of the land required for evaporation
pond!, using wind instead of heat from fossil fuel and also saves on energy costs by using less petroleum
based raw material like Liner used in evaporation ponds to prevent leakage.

Company profile
Mapal Green Energy Ltd has developed an innovative, proven technology for waste water treatment
plants. Mapal has developed the CNM, a unique, patented and cost-effective floating fine bubble diffuser
system. It has been designed for efficient aeration in wastewater treatment lagoons and in biological
reactors at every scale of operation. The CNM can be implemented during design and construction of
wastewater treatment plants or to upgrade existing works by replacing the mechanical surface aerators
(fixed or floating). A direct reduction in operational and maintenance cost (O&M) of up to 70% can be
realised. There is no down time required during installation and no process interruption. This advantage
prevents the flow of untreated wastewater from reaching and contaminating nearby water bodies, thus
causing an environmental pollution.
Year of establishment: 2008
No. of employees: 9
Background of the company
Mapal, as a know-how company, is a technology provider with process engineering design capabilities.
Mapal provides a complete process design and technical support services, including:
Feasibility studies Design, Supply, Construction Commissioning and Start up O&M contracts.
Examples of projects
Mapal’s technology has been proven in more than 25 WWTP in Israel and handling domestic, industrial
and livestock wastewater. Mapal has recently developed an innovative financing system, enabling the
waste water plant (the client) to use the technology with no investment on his behalf.
The client is only responsible for sharing profits from electricity-bill savings with the company (Mapal).
This new model is implemented in the Ramat Hasharon intensive waste activated sludge WWTP.
Technologies & products
General description: Mapal’s aeration system can be easily installed in any biological reactor and it
is an ideal, cost effective solution for municipal wastewater treatment plants thanks to its excellent
ROI. The technology eliminates the need to deliver electrical power to the floating unit, and enables to
easily adjust the power according to conditions. The units automatically adjust themselves to the water
depth resolving the leveling problem. Custom manufactured tubular membrane diffusers are installed
in each unit and are designed to generate air bubbles that reach the bottom of the lagoon for optimal
oxygen transfer.
••Significant energy savings.
••Simple & Safe. Low O&M costs.
••No electrical / moving mechanical parts in the water.
••Safe for HDPE lining.
••Tailor made solutions in order to meet the customer’s requirements.
••Easy and simple installation (No need to stop the process or to drain the biological reactors).
••Suitable for hazardous and aggressive waste water.
••Suitable for excavated or concrete lagoons.
Implementation: Mapal’s CNM system can be implemented in two main applications:
1.	 For upgrading existing medium and large municipal wastewater treatment plants with fixed surface
aerators in concrete basin biological reactors.
2.	For excavated biological reactor ponds and lagoons at small and medium size municipal and
industrial wastewater treatment facilities where aeration is otherwise impossible (when it is not
practical to empty the reactor or remove the diffusers).

Objectives / Target companies
••Integrators, wastewater contractors, wastewater design and engineering companies.
••Users who have wastewater to treat on the one hand and use substantial quantities of water for
irrigation or process on the other.
Company profile
Emefcy was founded in 2008 by Eytan Levy and Ronen Shechter, who also founded Aqwise, a
successful wastewater treatment solutions company, with the vision of fundamentally changing the
energy economics of wastewater treatment. Emefcy’s highly skilled multidisciplinary team, consists
of 25 employees of which most are technical, offers advanced, energy efficient, wastewater treatment
technologies for municipal, commercial and industrial plants. Backed by top-tier investors, Emefcy is
perfectly positioned to lead the revolution in the energy economics of wastewater treatment, while
retaining a practical and cost-effective approach to the needs of the customer.
Background of the company
Conventional wastewater treatment consumes 2% of all generated global power (80,000 MW and
57,000,000 tons per year of CO2), amounting to $40B/year. Small wastewater treatment plants
(WWTP) account for 80% of the global WWTP and are complex and expensive to operate. Under these
circumstances Emefcy has developed its solutions: The Electrogenic Bio Reactor (EBR) and the Spiral
Aerobic Biofilm Reactor (SABRE): simple, low cost, modular and scalable wastewater treatment solutions.
With several global innovation awards and a strong scientific background, Emefcy is leading the next
generation in wastewater treatment.
Awards:
••Artemis Project Top 50 Water Company 2011, 2012

••Global Water Intelligence: “one of 10 technologies that will save the world”
••CNET: “one of the 5 companies that will contribute to the reduction of the world dependence on fossil fuel”
Technologies & products
Emefcy’s EBR for wastewater treatment is based on three components new to biological wastewater
treatment: - Anodes (in anaerobic conditions): Where the bacterial oxidation of the organic matter occurs -
Cathodes (which are exposed to air): Where the corresponding reduction reaction takes place - An electrical
circuit that includes the external load, connecting the anodes to the cathodes. A biofilm naturally develops
on the anode, oxidizing the organic matter into carbon dioxide. Protons migrate through the water, and
electrons travel through the electric circuit, towards the cathode. The reaction on the cathode is due to a
reduction of atmospheric oxygen in the presence of protons to water. As a result, organic matter is oxidized,
and an electric current is produced, rather than energy being consumed during the process.
Emefcy’s SABRE saves significant energy by eliminating the need to blow compressed air through the
wastewater for aeration. The reactor is based on breathable membranes rolled in a spiral, in which
wastewater flows in constant contact with oxygen.
Oxygen diffuses through the breathable membrane into the wastewater. On the water side of the
membrane an aerobic biofilm develops. Deeper inside the water an anoxic biofilm develops. The
heterogenic microbial population enables the concurrent removal of organic matter and nitrogen.
Nitrification by autotrophic bacteria in the layer attached to the membrane wall and de-nitrification by
heterotrophic bacteria on the anoxic layer, occur simultaneously.

Company profile Emefcy was founded in 2008 by Eytan Levy and Ronen Shechter, who also founded Aqwise, a successful wastewater treatment solutions company, with the vision of fundamentally changing the energy economics of wastewater treatment. Emefcy’s highly skilled multidisciplinary team, consists of 25 employees of which most are technical, offers advanced, energy efficient, wastewater treatment technologies for municipal, commercial and industrial plants. Backed by top-tier investors, Emefcy is perfectly positioned to lead the revolution in the energy economics of wastewater treatment, while retaining a practical and cost-effective approach to the needs of the customer. Background of the company Conventional wastewater treatment consumes 2% of all generated global power (80,000 MW and 57,000,000 tons per year of CO2), amounting to $40B/year. Small wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) account for 80% of the global WWTP and are complex and expensive to operate. Under these circumstances Emefcy has developed its solutions: The Electrogenic Bio Reactor (EBR) and the Spiral Aerobic Biofilm Reactor (SABRE): simple, low cost, modular and scalable wastewater treatment solutions. With several global innovation awards and a strong scientific background, Emefcy is leading the next generation in wastewater treatment. Awards: ••Artemis Project Top 50 Water Company 2011, 2012 ••Pollution Engineering Magazine: 10 Top Technologies for 2011 ••The Guardian and the Cleantech Group: 2012 Global Cleantech 100 Company ••BlueTech Summit: A top 50 water technology company ••Sustainable World Capital : “A Cleantech Startup to Keep an Eye on” ••Global Water Intelligence: “one of 10 technologies that will save the world” ••CNET: “one of the 5 companies that will contribute to the reduction of the world dependence on fossil fuel” Technologies & products Emefcy’s EBR for wastewater treatment is based on three components new to biological wastewater treatment: - Anodes (in anaerobic conditions): Where the bacterial oxidation of the organic matter occurs - Cathodes (which are exposed to air): Where the corresponding reduction reaction takes place - An electrical circuit that includes the external load, connecting the anodes to the cathodes. A biofilm naturally develops on the anode, oxidizing the organic matter into carbon dioxide. Protons migrate through the water, and electrons travel through the electric circuit, towards the cathode. The reaction on the cathode is due to a reduction of atmospheric oxygen in the presence of protons to water. As a result, organic matter is oxidized, and an electric current is produced, rather than energy being consumed during the process. Emefcy’s SABRE saves significant energy by eliminating the need to blow compressed air through the wastewater for aeration. The reactor is based on breathable membranes rolled in a spiral, in which wastewater flows in constant contact with oxygen. Oxygen diffuses through the breathable membrane into the wastewater. On the water side of the membrane an aerobic biofilm develops. Deeper inside the water an anoxic biofilm develops. The heterogenic microbial population enables the concurrent removal of organic matter and nitrogen. Nitrification by autotrophic bacteria in the layer attached to the membrane wall and de-nitrification by heterotrophic bacteria on the anoxic layer, occur simultaneously. 16

Company profile Emefcy was founded in 2008 by Eytan Levy and Ronen Shechter, who also founded Aqwise, a successful wastewater treatment solutions company, with the vision of fundamentally changing the energy economics of wastewater treatment. Emefcy’s highly skilled multidisciplinary team, consists of 25 employees of which most are technical, offers advanced, energy efficient, wastewater treatment technologies for municipal, commercial and industrial plants. Backed by top-tier investors, Emefcy is perfectly positioned to lead the revolution in the energy economics of wastewater treatment, while retaining a practical and cost-effective approach to the needs of the customer. Background of the company Conventional wastewater treatment consumes 2% of all generated global power (80,000 MW and 57,000,000 tons per year of CO2), amounting to $40B/year. Small wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) account for 80% of the global WWTP and are complex and expensive to operate. Under these circumstances Emefcy has developed its solutions: The Electrogenic Bio Reactor (EBR) and the Spiral Aerobic Biofilm Reactor (SABRE): simple, low cost, modular and scalable wastewater treatment solutions. With several global innovation awards and a strong scientific background, Emefcy is leading the next generation in wastewater treatment. Awards: ••Artemis Project Top 50 Water Company 2011, 2012 ••Pollution Engineering Magazine: 10 Top Technologies for 2011 ••The Guardian and the Cleantech Group: 2012 Global Cleantech 100 Company ••BlueTech Summit: A top 50 water technology company ••Sustainable World Capital : “A Cleantech Startup to Keep an Eye on” ••Global Water Intelligence: “one of 10 technologies that will save the world” ••CNET: “one of the 5 companies that will contribute to the reduction of the world dependence on fossil fuel” Technologies & products Emefcy’s EBR for wastewater treatment is based on three components new to biological wastewater treatment: - Anodes (in anaerobic conditions): Where the bacterial oxidation of the organic matter occurs - Cathodes (which are exposed to air): Where the corresponding reduction reaction takes place - An electrical circuit that includes the external load, connecting the anodes to the cathodes. A biofilm naturally develops on the anode, oxidizing the organic matter into carbon dioxide. Protons migrate through the water, and electrons travel through the electric circuit, towards the cathode. The reaction on the cathode is due to a reduction of atmospheric oxygen in the presence of protons to water. As a result, organic matter is oxidized, and an electric current is produced, rather than energy being consumed during the process. Emefcy’s SABRE saves significant energy by eliminating the need to blow compressed air through the wastewater for aeration. The reactor is based on breathable membranes rolled in a spiral, in which wastewater flows in constant contact with oxygen. Oxygen diffuses through the breathable membrane into the wastewater. On the water side of the membrane an aerobic biofilm develops. Deeper inside the water an anoxic biofilm develops. The heterogenic microbial population enables the concurrent removal of organic matter and nitrogen. Nitrification by autotrophic bacteria in the layer attached to the membrane wall and de-nitrification by heterotrophic bacteria on the anoxic layer, occur simultaneously. 38
