MONTRÉAL, Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Ovivo Inc. ("Ovivo"), a global provider of water
treatment equipment, technology and systems, is pleased to announce the conclusion of an exclusive licensing arrangement with
Paques B.V. ("Paques") for their ANAMMOX technology for the municipal market in USA and Canada. This revolutionary
technology, for the efficient removal of ammonia from wastewater, uses a biological anaerobic ammonium oxidation process to
convert ammonium and nitrite to nitrogen gas using the Anammox bacteria. The agreement will be signed on Monday, September 26th, at 9:45 a.m., during the Water Environment
Federation's Annual Technical Exhibition and Conference ("WEFTEC") in New Orleans, at Ovivo's
booth #2729.
The ANAMMOX technology can reduce the aeration energy requirements by 60% and can completely eliminate any supplemental
organic carbon requirements. This can lead to substantial savings in operational costs for wastewater treatment facilities.
The ANAMMOX technology will leverage Paques' years of research and innovation on this proprietary concept as well as Ovivo's
decades of experience with sludge stabilization and biological nutrient removal.
The biological anaerobic ammonia oxidation concept will be featured at Ovivo's workshop (Utilities of the Future -
Biosolids Management) taking place Sunday, September 25th at 5:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency, New Orleans during WEFTEC. WEFTEC
attendees are also encouraged to stop by Ovivo's booth #2729 to discuss the ANAMMOX technology in more details.
