Aquamend pellets
AQUAMEND® is a highly efficient, stable biological water treatment technology based on the use of specialized biocarriers and site-specific process optimization. The AQUAMEND® biocarriers are specially
designed to enable dense bacterial colonization and to provide protection for the micro-organisms. Enhanced protection supports a stable process by protecting the bacteria against pH excursions, slugs of toxic compounds and other conditions that can reduce bioreactor efficiency.

AQUAMEND® technology has been proven to provide low maintenance, cost effective treatment of industrial process water and groundwater containing a range of compounds including pentachlorophenol, VOCs, base neutral acid extractables (BNAs), chlorinated organics, PAHs, petroleum hydrocarbons, high COD/BOD, landfill leachate, pesticides and herbicides, organic explosives, ammonia, as well as industrial and municipal nitrate. The high loading rates achieved by AQUAMEND® systems enable use of smaller reactors and lower capital costs than alternative technologies for the treatment of ground or industrial waters.

The AQUAMEND® Denitrification Unit (ADU) was designed for the efficient removal of nitrate from domestic or septic wastewater that has been previously treated by an aerobic treatment unit. It can also be used for treatment of nitrate-laden groundwater. Due to its unique patent pending process, if operated as directed the ADU will not only remove the nitrate, but also maintain low BOD and solids levels. This fixed-film process uses the AQUAMEND biocarrier to deliver very high nitrate removal rates, resulting in a small footprint and reduced costs.
