Whether caused by nutrient-rich industrial processes, mining activity or aquaculture discharge, nitrate in wastewater can quickly become a limiting factor – overwhelming denitrification capacity, threatening compliance, driving up nitrate water treatment costs, or preventing efficient water recycling.
With the right nitrate removal system, you can:
The right solution doesn’t just meet standards. It improves operational efficiency, reduces brine waste, and makes nitrate compliance simpler to sustain.
Don’t settle for compliance. Demand performance – no matter the load.
BIONEX™ combines two proven technologies – Moving Bed Ion Exchange (MBIX) and BIOCLENS® encapsulated bacteria – to achieve consistently low nitrate levels while drastically reducing waste and chemical use.
Here’s how it works:
MBIX is used as the primary treatment to efficiently reduce nitrate to low levels, even at large flow rates (>1 MLD).
Instead of discarding the spent brine, BIOCLENS® lenses treat the concentrated nitrate stream, converting nitrate into harmless nitrogen gas.
The regenerated brine is then reused, cutting both chemical consumption and brine waste.
This closed-loop design makes BIONEX™ ideal for utilities preparing for <5 ppm nitrate discharge limits with limited brine disposal options; or industrial operators in mining, explosives, or food manufacturing, facing high nitrate loads.
We’ve implemented our nitrate removal solutions at industrial, blasting and aquaculture sites across multiple regions, delivering consistent performance in demanding conditions, meeting tight discharge limits and minimising waste handling and disposal costs.
Our water treatment plants span the globe, delivering high-performance solutions for some of the toughest water challenges. Backed by a highly experienced team of engineers, we combine expertise with innovative technology to provide effective, long-term results for our clients worldwide.
We design our solutions with a client-first approach, customising our systems to address your unique challenges, operational goals, and regulatory standards. This enables us to deliver efficient, reliable, and cost-effective outcomes that integrate seamlessly into your operations.
