Revolutionizing Wastewater Treatment
The VIVA MFC platform is truly a leap forward in the treatment of wastewater. Designed to treat wastewater in both high-strength industrial applications and low-strength municipal settings, VIVA redefines energy efficiency in this vital sector. Developed through years of research and validated in real-world conditions, this technology has rolled out extensive pilots running continuously for over a year. Leading companies in the food and beverage industry, especially within the Brewing market, have put VIVA’s promise to test. Its ability to seamlessly integrate into current treatment processes and reduce greenhouse gas emissions is driving a transformative shift in environmental sustainability. The concept is simple, yet profound… efficient wastewater treatment that does not compromise on performance while conserving energy and resources.
The Modular Advantage
Unlike traditional systems, the modular design of VIVA MFC brings unmatched versatility and ease of installation. This design means that the technology can be sized appropriately for a given facility and retrofitted into nearly any existing system. For industries where downtime is not an option, the ability to integrate without major plant disruption is a significant advantage. The design approach leverages advanced materials and innovative manufacturing methods to produce robust microbial fuel cells at industrial scale—ensuring both high performance and cost efficiency. The inherent flexibility of a modular system guarantees that as demand increases, the treatment capacity can be scaled up in a seamless and efficient manner.
Harnessing Renewable Energy
One of the most compelling aspects of VIVA MFC is its dual role in wastewater treatment and renewable energy generation. Traditional wastewater aeration is known for being the most energy-intensive step in the treatment process, but VIVA MFC slashes this requirement by approximately 90%. This dramatic reduction in energy use is complemented by the generation of clean DC power, adding a renewable energy component that can serve as backup power for facilities. It is a win-win scenario: lower operating costs, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and a sustainable energy source—all consolidated into a single, integrated technology. The blend of energy savings and renewable energy capability sets a new benchmark for environmental management and industrial energy practices.
Optimizing Process Intelligence and Efficiency
The innovation behind VIVA MFC extends beyond energy savings and modular retrofitting; it also offers unparalleled process intelligence that is critical for modern wastewater management. With real-time monitoring capabilities, VIVA MFC keeps a close watch on both the hardware performance and the biological processes at work, providing operators with continuous data to ensure optimal operation. This level of process insight is critical in maintaining efficiency, identifying potential issues quickly, and ensuring compliance with discharge limits. Such intelligence fortifies the reliability of the treatment process and ushers in a new era where wastewater treatment is not only about elimination of contaminants but also about savvy, data-driven management.
