OpenCEL is a proprietary cell lysis technology used primarily in anaerobic digestion and biological nutrient removal (BNR), the release noted.

Utilized for pretreating wastewater sludge prior to anaerobic digestion, the technology employs high frequency electrical pulses to break open biomass cell membranes, releasing soluble material that is more readily digested and converted to energy, reported the release.
