BioGills Above-Ground Bioreactors

ABOVE-GROUND BIOREACTORS BioGills are above-ground wastewater bioreactors that offer the perfect environment for ‘waste-munching microbes’ to thrive. The patented Nano-Ceramic MembranesTM provide ideal, oxygen-rich conditions for microbes to rapidly grow and multiply. The result: accelerated treatment at low cost and low energy.Existing wastewater treatment systems can be retrofitted with BioGills to improve efficiency and significantly improve the quality of the recycled water without the cost of expensive infrastructure.Focusing the force of NatureMicrobes are nature’s best decomposers and used in most wastewater treatment systems. The difference is that BioGills provide the perfect habitat for microbes to work more effectively.Why BioGills perform so well• A BioGill bioreactor is above-ground where oxygen is freely available for waste-munching microbes to thrive.• The patented ceramic gills are durable, delivering a long-life and cost-effective system.• ‘Plug-and-play’ design makes a bioreactor simple to install and operate.• A BioGill system can be optimised to grow specific microbes to suit the treatment of various waste streams.• The low energy, no filter, no chemical system reduces maintenance and operating costs.• In many cases, BioGills produce little to no sludge or offensive odours.Retrofitting BioGillsThe BioGill solution is more effective at breaking down nutrients in the waste stream due to the increased oxygen available to the microbes. This delivers a healthy, vibrant treating biomass that is 10 to 15 times greater than conventional biological systems.BioGills use Nano-Ceramic Membranes™ vertically suspended and surrounded by oxygen to form a series of ‘gills’. These gills effectively operate as both a ‘stomach’ and ‘lung’. Wastewater is gravity fed over the gills where microbes ‘eat’ the nutrients out of the water and ‘breathe’ air to multiply and grow.ApplicationsLike to know more?For further information please contact us:E: info@biogill.com | PH:+ 61 2 8513 7555biogill.comAquaculture, Ponds and DamsSewageFood/Beverage ManufacturingAbout UsBioGill was established to commercialise this award-winning wastewater treatment technology developed in the research laboratories of the Australian Government Agency, ANSTO. World-wide patents are in place for both the Nano-Ceramic Membrane™ technology and the wastewater treatment process. AquacultureBioGills deliver healthier fish and crustacean harvests at comparatively low cost. As the aquatic wastewater is recycled over the gills, nutrients and ammonia are reduced while oxygen is added in a natural, chemical-free process. BioGills greatly improve the quality and capacity of the stored water creating tastier and more bountiful harvests. Projects are currently operating in both salt water and fresh water environments. IndustrialBioGills are ideal for food and beverage processing such as juice manufacturing, breweries, wineries, dairies, bakeries, canneries, vegetable and meat processors. The nutrient-rich influent found in food and beverage wastewater means BioGills can grow a rich and thick biomass which is effective in the rapid reduction of nutrients. SewageBioGills deliver scalable onsite solutions for treating sewage to a high standard suitable for irrigation and environmental discharge. Independent reports show a reduction of up to 96% in Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) within 24 hours, along with 80% removal of total nitrates. Grey WaterTreating grey water to a standard suitable for sterilisation and class A reuse, makes BioGills well suited to tourist parks, resorts, boarding schools and sporting complexes.Commercial KitchensBioGills are effective at removing fats, oils and greases from waste streams making the technology ideal for treating commercial kitchen waste.
