BioGills are ideal as the aerobic biological process stage of treating wastewaters from soft drink and confectionery producers, breweries, wineries, dairies, bakeries and canneries, as well as fruit, vegetable and meat processors.

Effective treatment of high soluble BOD/COD
BioGills can effectively reduce the soluble BOD/COD component in nutrient rich waste streams. Most alternative technologies struggle to treat high BOD effluent as little biological treatment is possible in submerged cultures due to the lack of oxygen available to the treating bacteria. This is never a problem in the above ground BioGill systems that can effectively treat waste streams in excess of 5000 BOD.
Low sludge output
The biomass is in a high oxygen environment. This means that BioGills can produce more active, longer living cells resulting in a lower sludge output when compared to other biological and filtration technologies.
Effective removal of fats and oils
Whereas many other systems suffer from fouling or “mass-kill” of the biomass, BioGills successfully treat waste streams that contain fats, oils and grease along with other difficult to treat components of wastewaters.
Low aerosols
BioGill systems produce very little aerosols that can cause contamination in the manufacturing process.
Lower operating costs
With minimal maintenance required on the treatment cores and lower energy consumption, BioGills can reduce overall operating costs.
