Aisenbrey has worked for CTW Energy, a small alternative energy company with offices in Bozeman and Deer Lodge, an combined effort to de4rive energy from algae.
The company is developing a system that will use algae to cleanse wastewater, said Joseph Menicucci Jr., the owner of CTW and an adjunct professor of chemical and biological engineering at MSU.
The benefit of using algae, rather than the more commonly used bacteria, to treat wastewater is that the algae can then be processed for their oil. That oil can then be used to make biodiesel.
CTW is putting a wastewater treatment-biodiesel system together specifically for the city of Deer Lodge, Menicucci said. New rules about piping wastewater into the Clark's Fork River mean that the city has to find a new way to deal with its wastewater by the end of the year if it is to comply with Montana Department of Environmental Quality regulations.
