“One other cool thing about them being electrogenic — you can hook up probes to their computer and they can actually, from down in San Diego, remotely monitor each cell and tell you how healthy the bug colonies are in each cell because they’re releasing these electrons as they eat sugar,”

Why Wastewater Treatment Needs a New Solution
Currently, just 20% of global wastewaters are treated, with the remaining 80% discharged into the environment with little to no treatment.
The movement and treatment of that 20% accounts for more GHG emissions than the entire shipping industry, so we simply cannot continue using current wastewater practices to close the gap.
Wastewater treatment is a major hotspot for production of greenhouse gas (GHG), specifically methane and CO2. Traditional aerobic and anaerobic treatment systems are energy intensive and produce methane as a byproduct of treatment. These systems would create devastating climate effects if used to treat 100% of global wastewater.
Aquacycl’s modular, distributed biological wastewater treatment solution represents a breakthrough in wastewater treatment by eliminating the negative effects of traditional wastewater treatment by:
- Reducing sludge production and mitigating GHG emissions that would have been generated during aerobic treatment.
- Removing organic material from the process wastewater to enable water recycling and reuse.
- Eliminating dilution of concentrated flows for reduced water demand.
- Generating direct electricity without biogas production to enable an energy-neutral system.
- Providing a distributed solution that can be placed at the source to solve wastewater issues in places that lack a sewage and energy grid.
We’ve worked with leading businesses, organizations and municipalities to deliver cost-effective, scalable technology to address wastewater issues. Join us in revolutionizing wastewater treatment with safety, reliability and a commitment to mitigate the effects of climate change. With 20+ years of technology development and 8 years of consistent operations, we are your trusted technology partner for industrial wastewater treatment.

Providing Wastewater Treatment as a Service
Because of evolving regulations and requirements and a growing demand for more efficient processes for wastewater treatment, many industries are looking to wastewater treatment as a service that can reduce costs and simplify treatment.
Aquacycl’s plug-and-play wastewater treatment technology is provided as a service that requires no capital expenditures.
- 24/7 remote monitoring and operation, and if your system needs maintenance, we will send one of our wastewater experts to your site
- No upfront costs
- 100% compliance guarantee
- Performance objectives built into service agreements
- Sludge management as needed, annually or bi-annually.
The modular BETT system, packaged within a 40-foot container, seamlessly integrates into existing setups, maximizing space and unlocking energy, time, and cost savings. It provides a small footprint and flexibility, allowing customers to scale up or down as needed.
Service Commitment Overview
Aquacycl works closely with clients to ensure smooth integration and reliable performance of our BETT system, designed to meet your unique wastewater treatment needs. Through our wastewater treatment as a service, we are able to guarantee your wastewater is always within compliance.
Before the Contract
Aquacycl collects samples that represent your wastewater and collaborates with local authorities to understand discharge limits and potential penalties.
Contract Negotiations
Together, we establish key performance indicators (KPIs) based on your wastewater characteristics and regulatory guidelines. We ensure the system is properly sized and define realistic ranges for expected effluent quality, both entering and leaving the BETT system.
Service Period
Aquacycl monitors system performance and wastewater treatment in real-time, providing ongoing maintenance and servicing as needed. All data is accessible via our customer platform, keeping you informed at every step.
Handling Non-Compliance
If wastewater characteristics fall out of spec, we adjust treatment to deliver the best possible effluent. If production effluent consistently exceeds agreed parameters, we may suggest scope adjustments. Should the BETT system not meet KPIs, Aquacycl will cover any penalties during a 90-day adjustment period. If we are unable to resolve the issue, you may terminate the contract without penalty.
Please contact us if you would like to receive the full details of our service contract, we are always happy to discuss any questions and work with you for a beneficial partnership.
