Natural and Biological

 

OxyShark® is an aerobic system that uses living bacteria to clean wastewater. This natural process eliminates the need for chemicals, which allows operators to directly discharge or reuse the resulting water under most circumstances.

powerful media

 

OxyShark® is biological, meaning the system uses beneficial, living bacteria to remove pollutants from wastewater. As wastewater passes through “media” where bacteria are housed, the bacteria devour the organic waste materials. The media also enhances productivity and efficiency, speeding up the process and ensuring a nearly potable final product.

pure process

 

A unique design allows OxyShark® to complete the treatment process in as little as 2-4 hours, up to 10x faster than traditional wastewater treatment alternatives. Additional treatment processes (e.g., ultrafiltration) can be added after the OxyShark® process to enhance color removal, disinfection and other treatment as required by the facility.

OxyShark wastewater treatment effluent water reuse or discharge clean water

Minimal or No Byproduct

OxyShark® yields minimal byproduct from the wastewater treatment process, unlike traditional systems that can leave behind messy and potentially noxious sludge.

OxyShark wastewater treatment system size dimensions

Reuse or Discharge

Once treated, the effluent wastewater finishes the process and can be clean enough to be reused on site or directly discharged.

OxyShark clean effluent wastewater water purification

Simple and Consistent

OxyShark® is easy to use and once installed by a professional, easy to monitor, with little regular maintenance or training time necessary.

Low-Flow Process

High-Flow Process

Green

OxyShark® is aerobic and biological. By treating wastewater with only beneficial bacteria and oxygen, OxyShark® eliminates minimizes the need for costly and potentially hazardous chemicals that can pose a threat to the environment.

Clean

OxyShark® cleans untreated water by passing it through thousands of square feet of media, in which bacteria consume waste materials in the water.

Lean

Though thousands of square feet of media are housed within its structure, OxyShark®‘s innovative designs are more compact than traditional biological systems. The result is an OxyShark® system that varies minimally in size depending on the wastewater load of a specific operation. The finished system is efficient in terms of size, cost and space.

Whatever the application or situation, OxyShark® will work with you to ensure your needs are met.
