Platform
HEMPZYME Modular Treatment Platform
A benchtop or floor-standing laboratory unit with interchangeable treatment cartridges. Stainless-steel frame, transparent reactor chambers, removable cartridges, tubing, flow sensors, sampling ports and a touchscreen interface — designed for controlled waste-treatment workflows.
Configuration
One frame, six interchangeable modules
Each treatment stage is a cartridge. The configuration follows the chemistry of your characterized stream, not a fixed product line.

Cartridge specifications
Hemp-derived biochar adsorption cartridge
Porous hemp hurd carbon captures hydrophobic contaminants and buffers concentration peaks entering the biological stages.
Under validation
Immobilized enzyme reactor
Selected enzymes immobilized on hemp cellulose or porous media for continuous-flow, targeted bond transformation.
Under validation
Contained microbial bioreactor
Microbial consortia metabolize biodegradable intermediates inside a closed, monitored reactor volume.
Under validation
Functionalized metal-capture cartridge
Biosorption media concentrate dissolved metals for recovery or controlled disposal. Metals are not biodegraded.
Under validation
Final polishing stage
Sorbent or membrane polishing captures residual contaminants before waste handling.
Under validation
Sampling and analytical monitoring interface
Inline sensors and sampling ports support the analytical verification that every treatment claim depends on.
Under validation
Cartridge performance figures are not published. Specifications shown describe intended function at research stage; pilot data coming soon.
Circular hemp system
From crop to treatment media
Hemp feedstock becomes fibre, cellulose and biochar, which become treatment cartridges — and, at end of life, a controlled waste-handling decision rather than an agricultural input.

Controlled end-of-life
Contaminated media does not automatically return to agriculture. Any biomass or sorbent containing accumulated hazardous contaminants must be handled according to the relevant waste regulations.
Pilot program
Start with one waste stream.
HEMPZYME pilots begin by identifying a repeatable, chemically characterized laboratory waste stream and validating whether biological treatment is technically and economically suitable.
