BioBassin

Start date: Sep 14th, 2016
Finish date: --

The purpose of the BioBassin project is to develop an innovative method for degradation of Phenoxy acids by using bacterial cultures that are commonly found in nature and/or wastewater. The project is carried out in cooperation with Aarhus University. The final goal is to build a plant on large scale based upon the experiences gained in the project.

The period of the project is estimated to be 3 years. The method takes several parameters into consideration, such as regulation of residence time, surface area and oxygen requirements. This is a way to optimize the degradation compared to traditional sand filtration.

A pilot-scale system has been developed, consisting of three tanks with different types of filling material: 1) sand 2) sand + peat 3) custommade rockwool.

Project type: Remediation

Project target: Groundwater
