BioGill Tower above-ground bioreactor

BioGill technology offers food and beverage processors a green-tech, low-energy solution to improving on-site treatment of high-BOD wastewater.

The product is called the BioGill Tower. It is an above-ground, attached-growth bioreactor that is highly effective in reducing soluble nutrients such as BOD, COD and nitrogen, as well as fat, oil and grease. The technology is also easily retrofitted to existing wastewater treatment plants to boost capacity, lift performance and reduce odour.

Microorganisms are nature’s best recyclers and decomposers, according to BioGill, growing best in a high-nutrient and high-oxygen environment. The patented nano ceramic gills inside every tower provide the right support media to grow a thick and active treating biomass. Scientifically designed, the tower provides a suitable liquid/air environment for microorganisms to thrive and maximise BOD reductions. Heat generated by the biomass creates a natural airflow inside the tower, so no powered aeration or energy-hungry blowers are required.

Improved on-site wastewater treatment can lead to significant savings in discharge fees and help companies achieve environmental targets.
