BioLargo forms water subsidiary BioLargo Water in US

US-based company BioLargo has launched a wholly-owned subsidiary, BioLargo Water, in the American market. The subsidiary has been formed to exhibit the company’s advanced oxidation systems, including its new AOS Filter.

The AOS filter is designed to clear common, troublesome, and hazardous contaminants from water quicker than existing technologies. Its system breaks the organic contaminants in water to their basic molecular forms and clears the water from pollutants.

Water treatment systems are needed by industries that use large volumes of water for business activities. Energy and industrial process water systems need a treatment system that can manage this with a high level of efficiency and give constant process performance.

BioLargo chief science officer and inventor of the BioLargo AOS filter Kenneth Reay Code said that the new system is faster.

"Other systems can take years, as in the case of settling ponds, or hours for other advanced oxidation technologies like UV and Ozone," he said

The company has completed proof claim work of the Biolargo AOS filter at the University of Alberta and is planning to focus on the engineering and specific contaminant testing to prepare the product for commercial opportunities.

BioLargo president and CEO Dennis Calvert said that the company is planning to add main executives and strategic partners to build the business.

"Our AOS filter can be of great benefit to industry as they deal with regulatory pressures to find a sustainable way to rid water of dangerous contaminants," he added.

"Our AOS filter should have an important role to play in most of this industry’s segments, including oil and gas, refining and petrochemicals, power generation, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, microelectronics, pulp and paper, and mining. It could serve as a platform to build an integrated water company featuring technology, licensing, engineering and services."
