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 More“To receive this prestigious acknowledgement as a 2019 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum is a great honour”, said Microvi’s CEO Dr. Fatemeh Shirazi. “It is confirmation of the impactful work we are doing to provide safe and equal access to water, our drive towards a sustainable environment and improving the lives of many people worldwide. “

Read MoreMicrovi recently demonstrated the successful application of MNE for enhanced production of n-butanol. The trials have been funded by a USDA grant with results showing that MNE has a higher titer and yield compared to conventional fermentation processes.
Read MoreMicrovi MNE™ wastewater solutions, based on Microvi’s proprietary MicroNiche Engineering™(MNE) platform, overcome challenges with the conventional paradigm. Microvi MNE reduces waste and chemical usage for cost-effective phosphorus capture and recovery for a sustainable circular economy.
Read MoreInstalled in April 2018, results from the demonstration show that the combined nitrification-denitrification process can achieve effluent levels consistently below 3 mg/L and even as low as 1 mg/L TN from influent ammonia (NH3) concentrations as high as 45 mg/L. These results occur with a retention time of under two hours, and little to no biosolids are produced.
