As our efforts to combat climate change continues, this CEC project has shown that the combination of carbon diversion (Aqua-Aerobics Systems cloth media filter) coupled with an advanced, intensified yet extremely simple secondary treatment MNE process can achieve reductions in both operating and capital costs as well as delivering resource recovery and mitigating process emissions.
Despite periods of extreme wet weather, process interruptions and intermittent trade discharges over the last 8 months, Microvi’s MNE nutrient removal process has continued to perform without fail and demonstrated robust and reliable performance, seamlessly switching between conventional and advanced primary feeds.
Big thanks to our partners CWT and Linda County for their contributions and support, as well as the California Energy Commission for funding this project.
Microvi will make its first presentation at the NC One Water Conference in Charlotte this Monday, December 5th. Join Chris Flannery in a discussion on how Microvi's MNE technology is enabling the Oro Loma Sanitary District to remove nearly 50 tons of nutrient from the San Francisco Bay every year. The presentation is part of the Technical Sessions and in the Wastewater track scheduled for 4:30 PM.
Microvi recently had the privilege of hosting some wonderful visitors from Hawai'i. Representatives from University of Hawai'i at Manoa's College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, the University of Hawai'i Foundation, Ulupono Initiative, and Kamehameha Schools were able to see Microvi's water and wastewater technologies up close, all the way from bench-scale to commercial deployment, and learn how Microvi's modular MNE technology can provide workable solutions for decentralized water treatment.
Microvi is pleased to achieve a major commercial milestone in wastewater treatment in San Francisco Bay Area. Over 500 days of operation and 120,000 lbs of nutrient removal, Chris Flannery will be presenting the performance of Microvi's full-scale sidestream treatment system at NC One Water's Annual Conference on December 5th. Please join us to learn more about this major milestone: https://nconewater.org/page/AnnualConference
A new hope to eliminate a cancer-causing chemical impacting millions of people around the globe! Microvi has been awarded over $1.1M to advance its technology for eliminating chromium, a cancer-causing chemical, in water. In 2020, Microvi developed a novel approach for chromium elimination based on its MNE platform technology. This new technology was successfully shown to reduce chromium in water to less than 5 ppb, meeting current and potential future regulatory limits. The funding for this work has been provided by the National Institute of Health (NIH). Read more here: https://bit.ly/3UUaEsB

San Francisco contributes up to 20% of the nutrients entering the Bay from treated wastewater. To upgrade all of its wastewater facilities to remove nitrogen, the city would need to pay up to $1.5 billion. Microvi is already using its innovative and cost-effective MNE technology to address nitrogen loads in the San Francisco Bay at Oro Loma Sanitary District. Read more about the San Francisco upgrades here - https://bit.ly/3svOboW. You can learn about Microvi's progress on decreasing the Bay's nitrogen load here - https://bit.ly/3TVcVTT.

The San Francisco Bay receives the treated effluent for 37 water resource reclamation facilities. By and large, these plants are safely discharging wastewater in compliance with environmental and health standards. According to a report by the San Francisco Estuary Institute, “there is a growing body of evidence that suggests the historic resilience of San Francisco Bay to the harmful effects of nutrient enrichment is weakening.” The impacts of persistent harmful algae blooms over the past few years are bringing to light opportunities to invest in upgrades to aging infrastructure to target the removal of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous. See 's detailed thread on the reporting on the recent bloom in the SF Bay here - https://bit.ly/3R4LIvn, and how Microvi is already working to combat excess nutrient loads in the Bay here - https://bit.ly/3LQWDIb.
