                     Valkyrie Analytics Re-launches as Nirova LLC 
to Advance Optimization of Anaerobic 
Digesters
 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 BOISE, ID (April 9, 2026) – Valkyrie Analytics, Inc., a US-based analytics company 
specializing in real-time monitoring and optimization of anaerobic digesters, has 
received a $3 million seed stage investment from a strategic investor. This important 
milestone allows Valkyrie to re-launch as Nirova LLC with an upgraded service offering, 
strengthened technology platform and expanded organization.
 Advancing Digester Performance Through Data
 Nirova provides real-time monitoring and analysis of anaerobic digesters that manage 
liquid organic wastes, whether from livestock agriculture, food waste or municipal or 
industrial wastewater.
 The company’s first-of-a-kind, proprietary platform enables plant operators and 
investors to make proactive operational adjustments that increase biogas production, 
ensure stability of biological processes and improve overall plant performance and 
return on investment.
 Leadership Perspective
 “Anaerobic digesters are complicated systems that are difficult to operate by virtue of 
the fact that many of the most important operational metrics can only be determined in 
retrospect. Even with constant attention, guesswork is still part of the operator’s 
decision framework,” said Sandy Selman, Chief Executive Officer, Nirova. “Our platform 
is a total game changer and will help owners and investors maximize their return on 
investment in this critical infrastructure.”
 Technology and Operational Impact
 Nirova’s platform leverages proprietary algorithms developed over the past several 
years that convert near-infrared spectral data to key process metrics that support 
specific operational outcomes, including:
• Maximized conversion of organic waste to energy
• Early detection of biological instability
• Economically optimized feedstock management
 These capabilities help anaerobic digesters operate more efficiently while reducing risk 
and variability.
 Leadership Expansion
 Nirova also announced the expansion of its leadership and advisory team, adding 
experienced executives with global operational expertise:
• Sanford (Sandy) Selman, Chief Executive Officer
• Will Charlton, Chief Technology Officer
• Christopher Maloney, Chief Marketing Officer
• David Christensen, Chief Financial Officer
• Alex Chassels, Board Advisor – Operations.
 Collectively, the leadership team brings decades of experience managing and scaling 
operations across multiple continents, strengthening Nirova’s ability to execute on its 
growth strategy.
 Market Unveiling
 Nirova will exhibit at two upcoming trade shows: 
Residuals, Biosolids and Treatment Technology in Kansas City (May 11 – 14, 2026), 
which focuses on the municipal wastewater sector, and Biogas Americas in Detroit (May 
18 – 21, 2026), which focuses on the agricultural and food waste sectors. The team 
looks forward to demonstrating how its revolutionary technology can help installed 
infrastructure perform to a higher standard.
