Why BioGills perform so well
• Above ground: A BioGill is above ground where
oxygen is freely available for microorganisms to
thrive and grow.
• Modular, Scalable and Affordable: Ideal for
onsite treatment because a BioGill system can be
customised for any scale of wastewater treatment.
• Durable: The patented ceramic gills are durable,
delivering a long life and cost effective system.
• Low operating costs: Minimal maintenance and
low energy consumption reduces operating costs.
• No odour and quiet: Exclusion zones are greatly
reduced as no aerosols are produced.
Quiet operation.
• Retrofitting BioGills: Existing wastewater treatment systems can be retrofitted with BioGills to improve efficiency and significantly
improve the quality of the recycled water without the cost of expensive infrastructure.
• Self optimising: A BioGill system can be optimised to grow specific microorganisms to suit the treatment of various waste streams.
Step-change technology in treating wastewater
BioGills are a breakthrough technology in the biological treatment of
wastewater. BioGills are above ground, non-submerged bioreactors
that deliver superior performance in wastewater treatment.
Microorganisms are Nature’s ultimate decomposers and recyclers,
growing and consuming best in a high nutrient and high oxygen
environment. BioGills provide the perfect oxygen rich environment for
microorganisms to thrive.
BioGills are helping resorts, tourist parks and industry achieve
regulated discharge standards. The technology is ideal for the
treatment of sewage, grey water and wastewater from commercial
kitchens, food and beverage processing.48 unhoused BioGills treating per day

The science behind BioGills
BioGills use patented, flexible ceramic substrate
known as “gills”. These gills are provided in
multiple suspended loops supported in the
vertical position with water delivery at the top of
each loop. Wastewater flows down the surface
of the gills and convective air flow moves
upward between each set of loops to provide
the oxygen transfer to the attached biomass.
Product design
Each BioGill treatment core consist of the following
components.
• 246m² looped Nano Ceramic Membranes™
• 58 gills with engineered air spacers
• Inbuilt disperser and trays
• Marine grade 316 stainless steel frames
• Polyethylene housing
• Plumbing connections.
The footprint for each bioreactor is 1150mmW X
1150mmD X 2420mmH. BioGills are compact, modular
and scalable for easy shipping and installation.
Accelerated and effective biological treatment at low cost and low energy.
As the gills hang vertically the bioreactors are compact and deliver a large membrane area with a high volume treatment capacity.
No blowers are used in the system. The only energy required is for water movement from the bottom holding tanks to the top of the
gills where gravity takes over.
The ceramic gills with air spacers provide the perfect oxygen/liquid interface for
microorganisms to flourish.
BioGills in action.
SewageBioGills deliver scalable solutions for treating sewage to a high
standard suitable for irrigation and environmental discharge.
Independent reports show a reduction of up to 96% in Biochemical
Oxygen Demand (BOD) within 24 hours, along with 80% removal of
total nitrates.
Food and beverage BioGills are ideal for food and beverage processing such as wineries,
breweries, juice processing, dairies, bakeries, canneries, vegetable
and meat processors. The nutrient rich influent found in food and
beverage wastewater means BioGills grow a rich and thick biomass.
BioGills are a proven technology for dramatically reducing BOD to
achieve discharge standards.
Grease-traps and arrestorsBioGills are effective at removing fats, oils and greases from waste
streams making the technology ideal for treating commercial
kitchens and grease arrestors.
Grey waterTreating grey water to a standard suitable for sterilisation and class
A reuse makes BioGills well suited to tourist parks, resorts, boarding
schools and sporting complexes.
AquacultureGood quality water is a key factor in achieving successful harvests.
BioGills provide high level biofiltration with reduced levels of
ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. BioGills work with the existing cultures
in pond water and no chemicals, bacteria or microorganisms are
added. Instead BioGills harness the power of Nature in a completely
healthy, proven, safe and natural system to improve the quality of
pond water.
