Ovivo Signs An Exclusive Licensing Arrangement With DC Water For Their Patented Post-Aerobic Digestion Process - DigestivorePAD™

Montréal, Canada - Ovivo Inc. (“Ovivo”), a global provider of water treatment equipment, technology and systems, is pleased to announce the signing of an exclusive licensing arrangement with the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (“DC Water”) for their patented post-aerobic digestion process. Marketed under the brand name DigestivorePAD™, this revolutionary approach to solids management places an aerobic digester after an anaerobic digester, providing increased volatile solids destruction, enhanced nitrogen and phosphorus removal as well as improved dewatering, leading to significant operational savings. The DigestivorePAD technology will leverage DC Water’s years of collaborative research and open innovation on this proprietary concept as well as Ovivo’s decades of experience with sludge stabilization at high solids concentrations using both anaerobic and aerobic digestion.

The post-aerobic digestion process will be featured at Ovivo’s workshop (Utilities of the Future - Biosolids Management) taking place on Sunday September 25th at 5:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, during the Water Environment Federation’s Annual Technical Exhibition and Conference (“WEFTEC”). WEFTEC attendees are also encouraged to stop by Ovivo’s booth #2729 to discuss the DigestivorePAD process in more details.
