Micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products or industrial chemical compounds are difficult to degrade. There is a growing risk that these compounds find their way into our water supply and spread antibiotic resistance. This places growing importance on the removal of antibiotics and other compounds from industry and municipalities.
eXeno™ micropollutant solution
eXeno™ is based on MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) and uses for the biological removal of drugs and other complex compound residuals in wastewater. MBBR relies on microorganisms such as bacteria growing on plastic carriers which are retained in the reactor.
The technology allows the development of biomass with significantly longer sludge retention times (SRT) compared to conventional systems. This encourages the development of slower-growing organisms capable of removing difficult compounds.
- Effective
High removal (50-80%) of difficult degradable pharmaceuticals
- Economical
The cost of energy and chemical usage is reduced by using more bacteria and less ozone and/or activated carbon
- Environmentally friendly
Avoids the release of by-products
