Major Food Manufacturer to Install Aquacycl's System to Remove Total Sulfur from Wastewater

ESCONDIDO, Calif., Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aquacycl®, the inventor and manufacturer of new wastewater treatment technologies, is helping a Fortune 500 CPG company eliminate sulfur, resulting in improved safety and reduced odors. After successfully piloting Aquacycl's patented sulfur-removing Micro-aeration system, one of the largest global food & beverage companies signed a commercial agreement to install a system at one of their facilities. The system reduces risks related to hydrogen sulfide, reduces corrosion, minimizes odor, and operates with no chemicals and lower energy requirements than other systems on the market. It is also lower capital investment and operating cost than alternate technological options.

The Micro-aeration technology is a sustainable treatment that replaces chemical treatment with a biological process to remove sulfides and sulfates present in the wastewater and the head space in the wastewater holding bodies. The system converts sulfates (liquid) and sulfides (gas) into elemental sulfur (solid), which is captured and removed as part of the service contract.

"Aquacycl has brought a new approach to a costly and hazardous problem," said Aquacycl Co-Founder and CTO, Sofia Babanova. "Normal operations can create conditions which promote hydrogen sulfide formation, which is highly corrosive, a severe health risk, and creates odor problems. We saw an opportunity to bring our knowledge of biologically based wastewater treatment systems to help solve this challenge, without chemicals. We are thrilled to work with this leader in their industry and look forward to working with other companies to help them support healthy watersheds through improved wastewater management."

Aquacycl Micro-aeration units have shown effective total sulfur removal across multiple applications, including brewery, beverage and sewage applications. They can retrofit into an existing tank or installed into new systems, providing a cost-effective solution to a challenging problem.
