Bion Technology

Bion`s core technology is a biological process that facilitates the growth of large populations of naturally-occurring bacteria that are responsible for the conversion of the nitrogen and phosphorus in the waste stream. Some of the nitrogen is released to the atmosphere in the form of harmless and inert nitrogen gas (N2). Most of the remaining nitrogen, as well as phosphorus, is converted by the bacteria into solid or particulate forms that are removable by centrifuge and other processes. Bion`s technology achieves 75 to 80% reductions of nutrients in the effluent; further treatment can increase the reductions to up to 95%. The system provides an expected pathogen reduction of three to nine orders of magnitude (three to nine log kill) depending upon the level of nutrient treatment employed at a particular site.
