Microvi Biotechnologies signs three year contract with Clean TeQ

07 May 2010

Under the terms of the agreement, Clean TeQ has exclusive rights in Australia to use Microvi’s clean water technologies for the treatment of nitrogenous compounds in groundwater and wastewater.

Microvi’s MB Water Solutions treat major pollutants in water and wastewater without generating any secondary waste. The technology is self-sustainable and self-cleaning, providing energy and cost savings.

Greg Toll, CEO of Clean TeQ said: “Dozens of Australian groundwater sources are contaminated with nitrates and the Clean TeQ/Microvi solution is a simple and highly effective way to make this water conform to Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. We plan to provide this solution to the remote communities of Australia. Clean TeQ expects that this technology can contribute to the improvement in the quality of hundreds of gigalitres if additional water that can contribute to the ‘environmental’ flow of the Murray-Darling basin. The technology can also be used to materially reduce the harm that nitrogenous compounds are causing to environmentally sensitive areas such as the Great Barrier Reef.”
