Wastewater TreatmentEKO GEA provides a simple, economical biological solution to wastewater treatment.

EKO GEA’s proprietary suspension provides an effective, natural process by which impurities in water and sludge are degraded biochemically. This metabolic process results in :

o Significant BOD, COD & SS reductiono Biological nutrient/nitrate/phosphate reductiono Improved dehydration and decreased sludge volumes

• 20-40% less sludge (depending on organic content)o Increased plant capacity o Odor elimination via biological ion-exchangeo No chemicals

EKO GEA's preparation is entirely non-toxic – a proprietary marine algae suspension from Ascoplyllum nodosum seaweed. Its bio-active properties break down organic compounds

in a metabolic process and eliminate toxicity.

EKO-GEA Wastewater Treatment Economizes :• Lower sludge treatment costs• Increased overall capacity / efficiency• Reduced energy usage• Reduced O2 usage

Bio-dynamics at Work

EKO GEA’s additive is currently being employed as a biological WwT solution in 90% of the conventional WwT Plants in the Republic of Slovenia and has been endorsed by the The Institute for Water of the Republic of Slovenia (IzVRS)

• Hydrolysis + sedimentation Particulates are dissolved

• Converting Ammonia (NH4) to Nitrate (NO3)Nitrification enhanced

• Through ion exchange with CO2De-nitrification: Nitrates are respiration oxidation

agent for obligate aerobes instead of oxygen

• Sulfide ion (S2) synthesizes with Carbon hydrates

Sulphide oxidized into harmless

elemental Sulphur

• Preventing/Reversing eutrophicationPhosphorous reduced via ion-exchange

• Into Carbon + CO2Complex carbohydrates are digested

• Into Peptides + Amino AcidsBleach is degraded

• Released harmlessly with water effluentMinerals are dissolved

• Bacterial synthesis in the metabolic process - a natural sanitising effect

Natural disinfection of WW plant and water effluent

• Composting processSludge is DRIER through efficient

digestion and ODORLESS

• Filamentous algae inhibited – due to biological Phosphorous & Nitrate reduction

No green algae growth bloom

• Including hepatitis virus, pseudomonas bacteria, and pathogenic algae

Harmful pathogens are inhibited

• Blocked & harmlessly released into waterwayHeavy metals are sequestered
