Microvi selects MWH to promote water technologies in Australia, Asia Pacific

US-based water biocatalytic technologies manufacturer Microvi Biotechnologies has partnered with MWH Global to promote its water technologies in Australia and the Asia Pacific.

MWH Global is a US-based wet infrastructure firm, providing technical engineering and construction services.

Microvi’s portfolio technologies provide benefits over conventional methods, including a smaller footprint, no secondary waste or sludge, low energy demand and easy upgrade of existing plants.

The technological advantages have the potential to bring a change in the water and wastewater industry, Microvi said in a press statement.

The two companies are working on current commercial projects in Australia that deal with wastewater treatment, and involve removing organic carbon, nitrate, ammonia and a variety of other pollutants from water.

In Asia Pacific, Microvi and MWH are planning to work with three major water utilities to develop large-scale demonstration plants that will employ Microvi’s water technologies, which are based on its proprietary MicroNiche Engineering platform.

MWH Global Water Sector Business Solutions leader John Darmody said ever since the company was founded, it has continuously looked for future development and is now able to offer new solutions.

"Microvi Biotechnologies is a leader in treatment technology and we are excited to partner to help meet the challenges facing utilities in Australia and across Asia Pacific," Darmody added.

Microvi Biotechnologies CEO Dr Fatemeh Shirazi said, "We are pleased to be partnering with such a strong, forward thinking company to help bring effective, transformative solutions to the water and wastewater industry in the Asia Pacific."
