ultraBiox ZERO™ is the smart wastewater treatment and biogas energy solution for Australian meat and food processors.

The adaption of proven, European engineered, advanced solid state anaerobic digestion technology, partnered with ultraBiox-ZR™ BNR technology, is designed to help you meet your wastewater discharge requirements while also reducing your environmental impact and operating costs with the generation of high quality bioenergy.

With ultraBiox ZERO™, you can expect:

  1. Efficient and Effective Circular Treatment

    Our technology utilizes a unique solid state anaerobic digestion process to break down organic matter in sludge with variable DS inputs from 5% - 30%, resulting in high yields of high quality biomethane. At the same time, the primary stage BNR is reducing TN and TP to <20 and <5 for meeting further recycling feed quality requirements, or environmental discharge requirements. As a truly circular design, a side stream CHP can be used to power the plant while surplus scrubbed gas or electricity is exported.

  2. Space-Saving Design

    Our compact and modular design ensures that ultraBiox ZERO can be easily integrated into your existing wastewater treatment infrastructure without requiring extensive modifications. This saves valuable floor space and minimizes installation time and costs. Replacing old lagoons, valuable real-estate can be reclaimed.

  3. Cost Savings

    By utilizing our anaerobic process, ultraBiox ZERO™ reduces your overall energy consumption and chemical usage, resulting in significant cost savings over time. Additionally, the low maintenance requirements of our technology further reduce your operating costs.

  4. Customizable Solutions

    We understand that each meat and food processing facility has unique wastewater treatment needs. That's why we offer customizable solutions to ensure that ultraBiox ZERO™ is tailored to meet your specific requirements.

With ultraBiox ZERO™, you can ensure that your wastewater treatment meets regulatory compliance, minimize environmental impact, and reduces operating costs.

A truly circular solution, ultraBiox ZERO™ is the answer to pressing sustainability goals.
