Reduced Biological Oxygen Demand
Nutrient removal, Solids separation, and Odor management.
ElectroCell’s Bio-Electric technology allows industrial facilities to treat a wide variety of organic waste streams at the source. It can be inserted easily into existing pre-treatment processes wherever cell lysis is desirable. It can also be installed independently to break down wastes where traditional technologies have proven to be too expensive or logistically challenging.
Industrial facilities that send waste to a municipal wastewater treatment plant often face surcharges for high biological oxygen demand and high total suspended solids. Bio-Electric treatment can reduce or eliminate those surcharges.
If your waste is land applied, then you have to manage the same challenges as livestock farmers and municipal wastewater treatment plant operators: minimizing transportation and land application costs, adhering to ever-tightening nutrient management plan requirements and minimizing nuisance odors.
Bio-Electric technology’s ability to reduce nutrients, settle solids and reduce odors can help you transform your waste products to minimize the cost and regulatory risk associated with land application.
Industries where Bio-Electric treatment can reduce waste disposal costs: Slaughter and meat processing, Dairy processing, Pulp and paper manufacturing, Beverage processing and bottling, and Food processing and packaging.
At a KRAFT 1,000,000 square foot food-processing facility, Bio-Electric treatment reduced Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) by 56% in four days. Total Suspended Solids (TSS) were reduced by 70% during that same period.
