Flagship Technology

WASTEXUS™

Wastexus is a decentralized, mobile, regenerative sanitation technology that transforms wastewater into safe irrigation water and valuable fertilizer, strengthening soil health and building more resilient food systems. Designed for rural and off-grid environments, it operates reliably using a hybrid solar-battery power system, ensuring continuous performance without dependence on national electricity infrastructure.

At its core, Wastexus integrates an electrically enhanced membrane bioreactor with advanced sensor technology, intelligent process modeling, and automated optimization. This combination delivers high-efficiency treatment, real-time monitoring, and precision nutrient recovery. The system produces high-quality struvite, a slow-release, environmentally friendly fertilizer proven to enhance soil structure, improve crop yield, and reduce reliance on chemical inputs.

Beyond the technology, Keloks provides full deployment support, installation, commissioning, and hands-on training, so farmers and communities can seamlessly incorporate Wastexus into their daily operations. Users learn how to safely treat wastewater, monitor system performance, and recover struvite directly from their own waste streams. This empowers farmers to close the nutrient loop, turning a sanitation burden into a regenerative resource that improves productivity and long-term environmental stewardship.

Highly mobile, modular, and scalable, Wastexus is optimized for rural Africa and adaptable for farms, food processing sites, schools, markets, and communities, delivering affordable, circular, and sustainable sanitation wherever it is needed most.

Benefits for Small–Medium Scale Farming

On-site fertilizer production – Generates high-quality, slow-release struvite directly on the farm, reducing reliance on commercial phosphate fertilizers.
No major infrastructure needed – Delivered as a ready-to-operate mobile unit, requiring no construction or land alteration.
Flexible for any farm size – Can serve single farms seasonally or rotate among multiple farms, maximizing value for small to medium operations.
Reduces water pollution – Treats nutrient-rich wastewater to prevent runoff, helping farms meet environmental regulations and protect nearby water bodies.
Enables water reuse – Produces clean, reusable water suitable for irrigation, bringing advanced treatment capabilities to farms that previously lacked access.

How Wastexus Works

A Hybrid Sensor-Driven and Electrically Enhanced Membrane Bioreactor for High-Impact Resource Recovery

Proven Technology

Rooted in months of research, our technology consistently achieves significant struvite recovery from real municipal and industrial wastewater, with more than 500 hours of fully continuous operation on real centrate, delivering efficient treatment of side-stream wastewater.

The Future of Wastewater Treatment

With global phosphorus reserves projected to reach critical scarcity between 2060 and 2080, the world faces a silent but profound crisis. Phosphorus is indispensable for food production, yet current wastewater systems treat it as waste rather than as the strategic resource it is. At the same time, climate change, water stress, and aging infrastructure are exposing the fragility of centralized treatment models.

Keloks was founded in response to this reality.

We believe wastewater is not a liability; it is a resource reservoir. Within every stream lies recoverable nutrients, reusable water, and untapped value. The challenge is not availability, but intelligence. Keloks is pioneering a new generation of decentralized, AI-driven wastewater systems that close resource loops at the source. By integrating smart sensing, predictive modeling, and automated process control, our technologies optimize nutrient recovery.

Methane is over 80 times more potent than CO₂ over a 20-year period, yet most existing solutions focus on capturing emissions after they are produced. Wastexus introduces a paradigm shift: preventing methane formation before it occurs. Wastexus operates by dynamically controlling the biochemical conditions that drive methanogenesis in waste streams. Through integrated sensors and AI-driven process optimization, the system continuously regulates critical parameters such as pH, ion concentrations, and flow conditions to suppress anaerobic pathways responsible for methane generation. This real-time control transforms waste environments from methane-producing systems into stable, managed processes that avoid emissions altogether. Beyond mitigation, Wastexus creates value by recovering nutrients from waste streams in the form of high-quality fertilizers, such as struvite. This enables a circular resource model that not only reduces methane emissions but also offsets the need for synthetic fertilizers, contributing to broader reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across agricultural systems. In this way, Wastexus addresses both waste management and food system sustainability within a single integrated platform.

Wastexus

Wastexus™ v.1 is a decentralized, mobile, regenerative sanitation technology that transforms wastewater into safe irrigation water and valuable fertilizer, strengthening soil health and building more resilient food systems. Designed for rural and off-grid environments, it operates reliably using a hybrid solar-battery power system, ensuring continuous performance without dependence on national electricity infrastructure.

Wastexus v.2

WASTEXUS™ v.2 is Keloks’ next-generation mobile wastewater treatment system designed for farms, food processors, and rural communities where centralized infrastructure doesn’t reach. By combining intelligent treatment, resource recovery, and off-grid operation, WASTEXUS™ turns wastewater into safe irrigation water and valuable nutrients. This is how we close the sanitation gap, protect food systems, and build climate-resilient agriculture, one mobile unit at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where will the future hotspots for wastewater generation and nutrient loss be located?

By 2050, the global population is expected to reach 9.7 billion, nearly 50% more than in 2019. With over two-thirds of people living in cities, urban areas will remain the major hubs of wastewater generation due to dense populations and concentrated water use.
However, farms will continue to be the largest hotspots for phosphate and nutrient losses, driven by fertilizer runoff, livestock waste, and inefficient nutrient cycling.
This creates a growing global challenge: cities generate wastewater, while farms lose nutrients, widening the disconnect between waste management and agricultural nutrient needs.

2. As water and wastewater systems face growing complexity and nonlinear environmental stressors, is achieving greater levels of process optimization still feasible?

Optimization techniques and advanced control schemes are still not widely adopted in real-world wastewater treatment practice, largely because their complexity can be intimidating and the industry often operates under significant economic and operational constraints. Utilities typically prioritize reliability, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness, which can make highly sophisticated optimization tools seem impractical or risky to implement. However, a range of simulation and modeling approaches, such as process modeling, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and reaction kinetics modeling offer powerful opportunities to enhance system performance. These tools can be used to identify bottlenecks, improve energy efficiency, refine chemical dosing, and strengthen overall process stability. As these methods become more accessible and user-friendly, they hold strong potential to support higher levels of optimization even as emerging wastewater challenges grow more complex and nonlinear.

3. How can the water and wastewater sector effectively respond to the pressures and risks posed by rapid urbanization in the coming decades?

To address the challenges of this urbanized future, smart technologies are essential. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), the most widely used machine learning model, can play a crucial role in optimizing nutrient recovery and wastewater by-product management. By leveraging machine intelligence, wastewater treatment can achieve greater efficiency, accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability.
