BioGill Operations Pty Ltd
BioGill is a biotechnology company that manufactures unique above ground, attached growth bioreactors used worldwide in water treatment systems. Our technology is now operating in more than twenty-five countries, effectively treating wastewater onsite for breweries, wineries, food and beverage producers, as well as decentralized sewage. At the heart of every BioGill unit is specially manufactured, patented nano ceramic media known as “gills”. These gills provide the ideal, oxygen rich environment for biomass to grow and consume nutrients from the wastewater stream. Microorganisms colonize the gills and grow into a dense, active biomass that consumes nutrients. BioGill delivers `affordable wastewater treatment, made easy.`

History
The BioGill technology was developed in the research laboratories of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, ANSTO, a Commonwealth research agency.
ANSTO is responsible for delivering specialized advice, scientific services and products to government, industry, academia and other research organisations.
A group of research scientists from the Institute of Materials Engineering at ANSTO were involved in the ground breaking research into the use of nano-particulate materials originating from the synroc waste form technology.
Between 2004-2009, the technology was further developed and incubated within ANSTO, with a view to commercialization. In 2007, John West took part in an industry event at ANSTO and attended a presentation on a new nano-particulate media technology. John was so impressed he stayed on to meet the research team and learn more about the invention.
Over the ensuing two years, John negotiated with ANSTO for the exclusive rights to licence and commercialize the technology, now known as BioGill. John established BioGill Environmental Pty Limited as the vehicle to commercialize this award winning technology.
BioGill units have been successfully demonstrated on many different industrial wastewater streams such as effluent from food processors, breweries and wineries, as well as sewage.
