BioAqua has extensive experience in providing wastewater solutions for the food and fish industry. Cleaning wastewater from such industries is a critical process because it contains high levels of organic matter (blood, fat, manure), pathogens, nutrients, and chemicals. The treatment usually happens in several stages to make the water safe for discharge or reuse.
BioAqua offers solutions that cover, among other things:
-
Recovery of valuable materials
-
Treatment of wastewater from fish processing, dairy processing, disinfection, slaughterhouse, and other forms of food processing
BioAqua offers solutions for special treatment of public or private wastewater treatment. The modular, scalable design enables our clients to align wastewater treatment infrastructure with production growth, while automated controls and remote monitoring minimize operational complexity.
Some waste streams can give basis for recovery of valuable ingredients. It can be protein/oil, N and P or energy. From wastewater it can be removal of solids, heavy metal, PFAS, and phosphorus as well as sludge drying and minor bioreactors.
Industrial waste often contains large amounts of water, especially waste from water treatment such as sewage sludge and biogas residues. Up to 80% of the material is water, which limits recycling and puts pressure on outlets and landfills.
Removing the water is a refinement that enables incineration, pyrolysis, or other processing methods. With our closed dryer, we reduce the water content so much that the sludge is transformed into an easily manageable and dry granulate.
Due to special relations to the aquaculture sector, BioAqua has developed technologies for economic and efficient treatment of water in aquaculture systems. It is aeration, oxygenation, ozonation, biological treatment, filtration, and chemical conditioning of fresh- and seawater.

The result is improvement of fish growth and feed efficiency; it reduces diseases and mortality and minimizes environmental impacts. BioAqua has installed solutions primarily in Norway.
