Microvi Biotech Inc. and Oro Loma Sanitary District (OLSD) are pleased to announce the installation of a full-scale Microvi MNE wastewater sidestream treatment system at the 20 MGD OLSD treatment plant in San Lorenzo, CA in 2020. The multi-million dollar collaborative project will be conducted between Microvi, OLSD, engineering firm HDR Inc. and project design engineer EKI Environment and Water Inc. The project is funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Read MoreThe results of the demonstration confirmed the Microvi MNE process can treat ammonia and soluble BOD to below levels of detection at high flow and high organic loading rates. It showed that under normal operating conditions the effluent consistently achieves effluent ammonia concentration below 1 mg/l with an HRT (hydraulic retention time) of around 4 hours – around half the time of other comparable current technologies including conventional Activated Sludge Process.
Read MoreMicrovi announced today the successful development of Microvi’s MicroNiche Engineering™ (MNE™) platform technology for the treatment of process wastewater from ethanol plants. Microvi MNE, a biological wastewater treatment solution, demands less energy, reduces costs, and can increase the potential for water reuse.
