Core offering

Cambi designs, manufactures, and delivers CambiTHP thermal hydrolysis process systems and equipment for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. The proprietary batch thermal hydrolysis technology pre-treats sewage sludge and organic waste at high temperature (160-180°C) and pressure (~6 bar) before anaerobic digestion, delivering 3x higher digester throughput, up to 50% more biogas, and a 50% reduction in final biosolids volume. Cambi also provides full lifecycle services including engineering design, installation, commissioning, training, spare parts, upgrades, and digital monitoring via the Cambi Plus platform.

Product overview

Cambi offers a unified thermal hydrolysis technology platform centered on CambiTHP, which is used before anaerobic digestion to enhance sludge treatment. The product portfolio includes modular THP equipment (B2, B4, B6, B12 models) sized from 1,500 to 32,000 metric tons of dry solids per year, complemented by SolidStream for post-digestion THP applications. Cambi Plus provides remote digital monitoring capabilities, while Cambi Flexishaft pumps address pumping challenges in THP systems. Services span the full project lifecycle from business case analysis through operation and maintenance, including operator training and upgrades.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• CambiTHP (Thermal Hydrolysis Process) Cambi's core thermal hydrolysis technology that pre-treats sewage sludge and organic waste at high temperature (160-180°C) and pressure (~6 bar) before anaerobic digestion. Achieves 3x higher digester throughput, up to 50% more biogas, and cuts final biosolids volume in half. Used by municipal water utilities and industrial customers at plants processing at least 10 tonnes of dry solids per day.
• Cambi B2, B4, B6, B12 THP Equipment Models Modular thermal hydrolysis equipment product line offering four reactor vessel sizes (B2, B4, B6, B12 cubic meters) with configurable trains. Each system is sized to the customer's sludge processing requirements and designed for reliability and low maintenance. Sold to municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants.
• THP Services Full lifecycle services for Cambi THP installations, including business case analysis, engineering design, manufacturing support, factory tests, delivery, installation, on-site tests, commissioning, technical support during annual shutdowns, site management, operator training, spare parts, upgrades, and expansions. Provided to municipal and industrial customers globally via direct offices and regional partners.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered strategic - first african university-led thp research, research partner, core - major infrastructure project, core - design and engineering lead, core - critical equipment supplier and minor - regional coverage.

• Nelson Mandela Universitystrategic - first african university-led thp researchStrategic or Co-development Partner · 2 February 2026Nelson Mandela University signed an MoU with Cambi and Sustainalutions on February 2, 2026, to launch the first African university-led research and demonstration initiative focused on THP technology for converting sewage sludge into renewable energy and organic fertilizer. Cambi supplies technology, the university serves as regional scientific anchor. Research involves local data collection and laboratory testing over 12 months before engaging municipal stakeholders for potential implementation sites across the Eastern Cape.
• Sustainalutionsresearch partnerStrategic or Co-development Partner · 2 February 2026Partner in the Nelson Mandela University research and demonstration initiative for THP technology in South Africa, focused on converting sewage sludge into renewable energy and organic fertilizer.
• NCCcore - major infrastructure projectImplementation/ SI/ Consulting Partner · 1 January 2026Cambi and NCC signed a Letter of Intent for a medium construction contract to deliver THP technology to the Malad wastewater treatment plant in Mumbai, India. A definitive agreement is expected after early design and commercial negotiations. This is Cambi's second THP project in India, with delivery scheduled for 2027.
• Murphy Process Engineeringcore - design and engineering leadImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerMurphy Process Engineering led the design and engineering work for the THP upgrade at Ringsend wastewater treatment plant in Dublin, Ireland - Ireland's largest wastewater treatment facility. Cambi's THP technology is being used to extend the operating life of two THP streams as part of an ongoing upgrade initiative.
• NOV Inc.core - critical equipment supplierTechnology or IntegrationCambi collaborated with NOV Inc. to develop the Cambi Flexishaft progressive cavity pump, addressing drive train wear and maintenance problems in THP systems. NOV manufactures MONO and MOYNO lines of PC pumps. The Flexishaft design (titanium rod with tapered friction joints eliminating universal joints) has become the new standard pump for Cambi THP units since the second half of 2020.
• Regional Distributor / Agent Networkminor - regional coverageChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorCambi maintains a network of regional distributors and agents in territories without direct offices, including Corodex (UAE), Watertech Canada, Deltaco (Greece), Thetys Pumps (Romania), Granada Petroleum Equipment & Supply (Kuwait), Jess Reyes (Philippines), Manantial Ambiental (Philippines), Relex Process (Israel), and others. These partners represent Cambi and support local sales, customer relationships, and technical support.

Broad incumbents

• Veolia: Global water/wastewater incumbent operating Exelys, BioThelys and Idreva thermal hydrolysis technologies that directly compete with CambiTHP. Veolia bundles THP into turnkey municipal concessions and EPC contracts, leveraging balance-sheet financing that Cambi cannot match.
• SUEZ (Suez Water Technologies & Solutions): Major water and wastewater services company with sludge treatment offerings and historical THP implementations. Competes with Cambi on municipal biosolids projects globally, particularly in EMEA and APAC.
• ANDRITZ Separation: Industrial separation and sludge treatment equipment maker (decanters, screens, thermal systems). Competes with Cambi in municipal and industrial biosolids pre-treatment, often bundled with dewatering and drying lines.
• Alfa Laval: Global supplier of heat exchangers, decanters and process equipment used in sludge and biosolids treatment. Competes adjacent to Cambi's THP offering via complementary dewatering/digestion equipment for municipal WWTPs.
• Xylem: Global water technology company offering pumps, aeration, filtration and digital monitoring for wastewater utilities. Competes with Cambi indirectly via broader WWTP optimization and digital monitoring offerings like Cambi Plus.

Direct peers

• Haarslev: Danish manufacturer of sludge and rendering processing equipment including thermal hydrolysis systems. Closely comparable to Cambi in target market (municipal/industrial sludge pre-treatment) and project-based delivery model.
• HUBER SE: German water and wastewater equipment manufacturer offering the Thermophor thermal hydrolysis system, a direct competitor to CambiTHP. Targets similar municipal WWTP customers with comparable project delivery in EMEA.

Emerging players

• Eliquo Water (Eliquo Technik): European water and sludge technology specialist with thermal hydrolysis and biogas solutions. A smaller-scale emerging peer competing with Cambi in municipal biosolids projects across select EMEA markets.

Regional players

• Aqua-Aerobic Systems: US-headquartered wastewater treatment equipment maker with biosolids and aeration solutions. Regional peer to Cambi in North America, competing on parts of the WWTP upgrade value chain where Cambi is active.

Others

• Hitachi Zosen Inova: Waste-to-energy technology provider adjacent to sludge/biomass valorization. Not a direct THP competitor but ecosystem participant in biogas and resource-recovery plants where Cambi systems are installed.
