Novel biological solution to wastewater treatment

1. EKO GEA Technical Bulletin
Bio-dynamics at Work Wastewater Treatment
EKO GEA provides a simple, economical biological solution to wastewater treatment.
EKO GEA’s proprietary suspension provides an effective, natural process by which impurities
in water and sludge are degraded biochemically. This metabolic process results in :
o Significant BOD, COD & SS reduction
o Biological nutrient/nitrate/phosphate reduction
o Improved dehydration and decreased sludge volumes
• 20-40% less sludge (depending on organic content)
o Increased plant capacity
o Odor elimination via biological ion-exchange
o No chemicals
EKO GEA's preparation is entirely non-toxic – a proprietary marine algae suspension from
Ascoplyllum nodosum seaweed. Its bio-active properties break down organic compounds
in a metabolic process and eliminate toxicity.
EKO GEA’s additive is currently
being employed as a biological
WwT solution in 90% of the
conventional WwT Plants in
the Republic of Slovenia and
has been endorsed by the The
Institute for Water of the
Republic of Slovenia (IzVRS)

2. EKO GEA’s Micro-biological Process
Particulates are dissolved • Hydrolysis + sedimentation
Nitrification enhanced • Converting Ammonia (NH4) to Nitrate (NO3)
De-nitrification: Nitrates are respiration oxidation
agent for obligate aerobes instead of oxygen • Through ion exchange with CO2
Sulphide oxidized into harmless • Sulfide ion (S2) synthesizes with Carbon
elemental Sulphur hydrates
Phosphorous reduced via ion-exchange • Preventing/Reversing eutrophication
Complex carbohydrates are digested
Pure
• Into Carbon + CO2
Water
Bleach is degraded • Into Peptides + Amino Acids
Effluent
Minerals are dissolved • Released harmlessly with water effluent
Natural disinfection of WW plant • Bacterial synthesis in the metabolic process - a
and water effluent natural sanitising effect
Sludge is DRIER through efficient
digestion and ODORLESS • Composting process
No green algae growth bloom • Filamentous algae inhibited – due to biological
Phosphorous & Nitrate reduction
Harmful pathogens are inhibited • Including
hepatitis virus, pseudomonas
bacteria, and pathogenic algae
Heavy metals are sequestered • Blocked & harmlessly released into waterway
