VIVA™ performing well

Steady as she goes; VIVA™ has been performing beautifully; now we’re about to begin some “stress testing” to see what are maximum treatment rate is; unlike aeration, where you can only blow so much air into the wastewater, we can push the envelope for higher performance and treatment rates. Those metrics should be done in about 2 weeks. Stay tuned.

Commercial VIVA™ deployed!

Our first commercial VIVA™ Module was deployed recently at a Brewery. What a great day! Pictures are on the website. With wastewater systems, there is a bit of “startup” - in our case, about ten days. That’s completed and now we’re logging performance data. Will be sharing that once the timeline is a bit longer.

VIVA™ Commercial Program

While our 10K Gal/Day pilot has operated beautifully, the design is not suitable for commercial deployment. Today, we kicked off our program to design and build a commercial version of VIVA. The design process has started and should be completed by late June, with fabrication beginning once the design is finalized.

Wastewater Infrastructure Article

A very interesting article recently published by AquaTech. Our US water and wastewater infrastructure requires a lot of repairs and replacement for our aging systems. Interesting article today about the recent Texas power failures and the strong needs for upgrading water/wastewater infrastructure in the US as a whole. https://www.aquatechtrade.com/news/utilities/rationalising-the-texas-water-dilemma/?utm_campaign=Waterline%20Newsletter&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=116215482&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_nMYbl3TsPHqpXwkFDYg1Hk0qrCfINZeM0Az9Hjrw3LyEYoqIcp_x9sgMqrthjeviz6QCNy9SbmyuYEQ-WGwhIBXaWo6_y9JRABaNJJpROnVMBg9E&utm_content=116215023&utm_source=hs_email

1-year MCEC Pilot Update

A new milestone for MICROrganic and VIVA. One year ago, we installed a 10K Gal/Day pilot at a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Massachusetts, sponsored by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. We’re proud of this milestone; VIVA™ MFC has performed flawlessly now for a full year, operating in conditions from -20F to 95F. Our discharge is at or below (and frequently much below) 30 mg/L. Most important, the system has operated flawlessly, with no mechanical or biological upsets, problems.
