Biocastle Water Technologies
Enhancing biological wastewater treatment while reducing infrastructure, operations, land and professional manpower.
About Us
BioCastle manufactures and sells SBP capsules. The SBP is a proprietary deep tech in the microbiology space, originally developed for bioaugmentation in water and wastewater treatment.
The SBP capsule (Small Bioreactor Platform) is a 2.5 cm bioreactor. The capsule is a 3-D microfiltration membrane that holds bacteria inside without being able to escape. Other bacteria cannot penetrate but water with contaminants will penetrate the capsule and get treated.
With the SBP capsules we know what type of bacteria, how much bacteria and where the bacteria is located within any water body.
The concepts of engineering a wastewater treatment facility have not changed in the past 100 years and all advancement was on an engineering level. Our approach is on a microbial level and therefore we can achieve significant advantages such as turning accumulation ponds into treatment ponds and not having to transfer bodies of water through treatment media. Instead, we transfer contaminants.
At the end of the day, we can save 10-15% of the sanitary wastewater treatment plants built by adding 10-15% capacity to the existing ones.
For some industries, we can save up to 70% on their CAPEX for wastewater treatment.
Relevant Challenges
Wastewater Treatment
We enhance biological wastewater treatment to reduce organic matter (BOD) and nitrogen (TN) in the water. We do this by adding our SBP capsules to the contaminated water. The capsules are filled with bacterial agents that treat the specific contaminants in the water. The water with contaminants will penetrate the capsules but the bacteria inside will not escape. This gives us 3 elements of control that no other technology provides:
1. we control the type of bacteria in the water
2. we control the amount of bacteria we implement and maintain in the water
3. we control the place of implementation to reach best possible treatment results.
