This funding will specifically support Microvi in integrating specialized, high-throughput equipment to optimize material usage, reduce labor requirements, and promote liquid and chemical recycling—thereby contributing to Microvi’s accelerated global commercialization.
Read MoreMicrovi announced today that they were awarded a grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Services (NIEHS) to develop a new technology for efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) treatment.
Read MoreThe new trial will further develop and demonstrate the ability of Microvi’s wastewater technology to successfully intensify the activated sludge process.
Read MoreOperating between 5-22 degrees Celsius, MNE consistently removed ammonia from wastewater during continuous operation outperforming the ammonia removal rates of the existing nitrifying sand filters.
Read MoreThe in silico platform reduces the cost and timeframe of drug development by reducing the need for iterative pre-clinical experiments and better directing clinical trials, while increasing the effectiveness of the therapeutics themselves.
Read MoreMicrovi Biotech, Inc. announced today that they received the 2020 Institute of Water Scottish Region Innovation Award. In 2019 and 2020 Microvi successfully completed a series of large scale demonstrations of its MNE technology for removal of ammonia and BOD at Scottish Water’s Wastewater Development Centre located at Bo’ness Treatment Works.
Read MoreGiven constraints on freshwater in agricultural regions there is a drive to adopt sustainable water practices through water reuse. The fresh produce industry is one of the largest agricultural users of water with significant potential for water reuse. Microvi MNE leverages engineered biocatalysts to safely and rapidly reduce the levels of dissolved organic and inorganic compounds in wash water under very low temperatures, without contributing solids or secondary wastes to the wash water.
Read MoreMicrovi 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 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.
Read MoreEstablished in 2006 by Global Water Intelligence, the awards recognize the most important achievements in the international water industry within several categories, and reward those initiatives in the water, wastewater and desalination sectors that are moving the industry forward through improved operating performance, innovative technology adoption and sustainable financial models.
Read MoreMicrovi announced today that they received the Bio-Based Chemical Innovation of the Year Award from World Bio Markets Insights. The awards took place in Amsterdam at the 4th annual awards ceremony at World Bio Markets 2019 on April 2, 2019.
Read MoreMicrovi Biotech Inc. announced today that their proprietary wastewater treatment technology, Microvi MNE, has shown consistent removal rates for high strength ammonia of up to 99% during sidestream treatment.
Read MoreAgainst the challenge of changing climatic conditions and capacity-limited treatment assets, Scottish Water is seeking new technologies to meet tightening Total Biochemical Oxygen Demand (TBOD) and ammonia standards while ensuring lowtotal expenditures.
Read MoreElemental Excelerator is a growth accelerator focused on improving systems that impact people’s lives. Microvi has received funding as part of Elemental’s Equity and Access Track to implement projects focused on nitrate removal in contaminated drinking water for low- to moderate-income communities in California.
Read MoreMicrovi and WesTech have installed a fully automated Microvi MNE demonstration plant configured as a tertiary nitrification system for ammonia removal. Microvi’s MNE technology intensifies the treatment process, allowing Thames Water to treat more wastewater within existing infrastructure—meeting the demands of anticipated population growth.
Read MoreThe project promises to improve fuel efficiency and economy. The project will create a bio-based fuel additive that can be blended with diesel fuel to significantly reduce soot and greenhouse gas emissions and yield cleaner engine operation in cold-weather conditions.
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.
