Microvi and Sunny Slope Water Company Unveil World's Most Advanced Nitrate Removal Technology
Global greentech pioneer Microvi and Sunny Slope Water Company (Sunny Slope) announced the launch of the world's most advanced nitrate removal technology, named DenitroviTM, to provide more than 200 million gallons of potable water annually for Sunny Slope's 30,000 households.
Dentrovi is a natural nitrate-removal process with no negative impact on the environment. Moreover, the system brings significant benefits to Sunny Slope, including:
- Up to 50 percent cost savings over every available option for nitrate removal;
- Virtually eliminating the secondary waste stream typical of conventional technologies;
- Proven long-term performance and easy operation.
Microvi and Sunny Slope have partnered to bring this elegant and proven solution, first implemented for remote communities in Western Australia, to help address the water crisis in Southern California.
The California Division of Drinking Water has issued a conditional acceptance of the Denitrovi technology for Sunny Slope, which has also received the NSF/ANSI 61 consumer safety certification.
The Denitrovi technology converts nitrate in water into nitrogen gas through a proprietary natural process that results in no byproducts or sludge production – only the safe release of nitrogen gas into the atmosphere. The technology is one of Microvi's biomimetic water technologies, where the most effective processes of nature are used to provide significant advantages over energy intense, waste-generating and costly conventional technologies.
"Microvi's nature-based approach to water purification is revolutionary," said Ken Tcheng, General Manager of Sunny Slope Water Company. "We found that Microvi's Denitrovi technology not only provided the water-quality regulators demand and our customers expect, but also solves costly waste-disposal problem of a conventional system."
Microvi's technology can be adapted to eliminate almost any groundwater pollutant – including such contaminants as perchlorate, Chromium-6 and uranium.
In fact, Microvi has a suite of over two dozen technologies that are almost universal in their applications for public water agencies, water companies and others with water treatment needs.
Microvi's inherently clean technology also equates to direct cleanup savings such as negating the need for concentrate pipelines and fewer disposal-vehicle movements, as well as non-financial benefits such as lower vehicle emission rates and less impact on landfills and the environment.
"It's amazing to see a biological treatment system that doesn't produce secondary waste," said Shane Chapman, General Manager of the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District (Upper District).
