The new technology, developed by Japan’s Kuraray Co, consists of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel (PVA gel) beads that are effective in biological wastewater treatment, it said. The porous hydrogel is ideally suited for immobilizing microorganisms essential for the degradation of environmental pollutants.
“This method is different from others because it uses bacteria that eats waste and sludge in the first step, so wastewater is cleaner than before,” said U Yan Lin Aung, CEO of IGE Energy.
The advantages of using PVA gel include reducing the area needed to build a treatment plant, deodorising waste, reducing time to cast off waste, and reducing the percentage of sludge and maintenance cost. The PVA gel can be used for at least ten years.
