Why BioGills perform so well

• Above ground: A BioGill is above ground where

oxygen is freely available for microorganisms to

thrive and grow.

• Modular, Scalable and Affordable: Ideal for

onsite treatment because a BioGill system can be

customised for any scale of wastewater treatment.

• Durable: The patented ceramic gills are durable,

delivering a long life and cost effective system.

• Low operating costs: Minimal maintenance and

low energy consumption reduces operating costs.

• No odour and quiet: Exclusion zones are greatly

reduced as no aerosols are produced.

Quiet operation.

• Retrofitting BioGills: 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.

• Self optimising: A BioGill system can be optimised to grow specific microorganisms to suit the treatment of various waste streams.

Step-change technology in treating wastewater

BioGills are a breakthrough technology in the biological treatment of

wastewater. BioGills are above ground, non-submerged bioreactors

that deliver superior performance in wastewater treatment.

Microorganisms are Nature’s ultimate decomposers and recyclers,

growing and consuming best in a high nutrient and high oxygen

environment. BioGills provide the perfect oxygen rich environment for

microorganisms to thrive.

BioGills are helping resorts, tourist parks and industry achieve

regulated discharge standards. The technology is ideal for the

treatment of sewage, grey water and wastewater from commercial

kitchens, food and beverage processing.48 unhoused BioGills treating per day

The science behind BioGills

BioGills use patented, flexible ceramic substrate

known as “gills”. These gills are provided in

multiple suspended loops supported in the

vertical position with water delivery at the top of

each loop. Wastewater flows down the surface

of the gills and convective air flow moves

upward between each set of loops to provide

the oxygen transfer to the attached biomass.

Product design

Each BioGill treatment core consist of the following

components.

• 246m² looped Nano Ceramic Membranes™

• 58 gills with engineered air spacers

• Inbuilt disperser and trays

• Marine grade 316 stainless steel frames

• Polyethylene housing

• Plumbing connections.

The footprint for each bioreactor is 1150mmW X

1150mmD X 2420mmH. BioGills are compact, modular

and scalable for easy shipping and installation.

Accelerated and effective biological treatment at low cost and low energy.

As the gills hang vertically the bioreactors are compact and deliver a large membrane area with a high volume treatment capacity.

No blowers are used in the system. The only energy required is for water movement from the bottom holding tanks to the top of the

gills where gravity takes over.

The ceramic gills with air spacers provide the perfect oxygen/liquid interface for

microorganisms to flourish.

BioGills in action.

SewageBioGills deliver scalable 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.

Food and beverage BioGills are ideal for food and beverage processing such as wineries,

breweries, juice processing, dairies, bakeries, canneries, vegetable

and meat processors. The nutrient rich influent found in food and

beverage wastewater means BioGills grow a rich and thick biomass.

BioGills are a proven technology for dramatically reducing BOD to

achieve discharge standards.

Grease-traps and arrestorsBioGills are effective at removing fats, oils and greases from waste

streams making the technology ideal for treating commercial

kitchens and grease arrestors.

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.

AquacultureGood quality water is a key factor in achieving successful harvests.

BioGills provide high level biofiltration with reduced levels of

ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. BioGills work with the existing cultures

in pond water and no chemicals, bacteria or microorganisms are

added. Instead BioGills harness the power of Nature in a completely

healthy, proven, safe and natural system to improve the quality of

pond water.
