MICROCLEAR
(P1 2009 2387)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
a) The effective biological treatment process by these specialized groups of decolorizing bacteria provide an alternative green solution for the treatment of aye containing wastewater with improves effluent quality thot complies with regulation standards
b) Large volumes of water, such as those from the textile industries can be recycled
c) The utilization of these microorganisms is more economical as compared to chemical methods besides minimal maintenance are required.
NEEDS
Alternative green solution to replace/ complement the conventional coloured wastewater treatment method.
Carbon and nitrogen act as nutrients influence the efficiency in the treatment
APPROACH
Group of microorganism that are capable removing colour from dye containing wastewater. Dye molecules (non-degradable) are broken down or are degraded into smaller and readily degradable molecules for safe discharge of effluent. Function under sequential facultative anaerobic and aerobic condition.
BENEFITS
Improve effluent quality that complies with regulatory standards.
Minimum sludge produces.
Minimum maintenance required.
Recycling of water for potential reuse.
Treat coloured wastewater
COMPETITORS
Textile industries
Food industries
Domestic wastewater CI) Point wastewater
Agricultural wastewater such as palm oil mill effluent (POME)
