Aqua Metrology Systems And BIOBOX Water S.L. Partner To Deliver A Transformative Nitrate Removal Solution

Aqua Metrology Systems (AMS) and BIOBOX Water S.L. (BIOBOX) today announce their partnership which brings to North America BIOBOX’s containerized biological treatment system for nitrate removal from groundwater and wastewater. The partnership will offer a fully automated, turnkey “intelligent nitrate treatment system” by integrating AMS’ online Instran nitrate analyzer that provides continuous, real-time control of the system performance.

By contrast to the costly, traditional RO treatment systems that are energy-intensive and produce a toxic waste stream, BIOBOX is energy efficient, produces no toxic waste and has a far lower lifetime cost, making it attractive to cost and environmentally conscious municipal clients. The BIOBOX system can be deployed rapidly at the thousands of sites in North America where nitrates put at risk human health and the environment.

According to AMS CEO Rick Bacon, “Our partnership with BIOBOX is based on our shared commitment to improving access to safe drinking water and reducing the water treatment industry’s impact on the environment through innovative and cost-effective solutions backed by exceptional client service and support. BIOBOX is a perfect fit for our North American growth strategy, and the technology complements our expanding presence in water treatment.”

As a fully automated biological denitrification solution, which is certified by SGS and NSF for the treatment of drinking water, urban or industrial wastewater, and reuse, BIOBOX has been successfully installed in several applications in Spain and Chile.

BIOBOX CEO Joaquín Murría Martín, added, “The BIOBOX technology is highly effective because it transforms nitrates into innocuous nitrogen gas in the same way that nature does, while ensuring nitrate removal efficiency above 95% with no toxic waste products. We are excited to partner with AMS and deliver a transformative, intelligent and reliable nitrate treatment solution.”

BIOBOX and AMS will be exhibiting jointly the BIOBOX nitrate removal solution and the online Instran nitrate analyzer at the Arizona AWWA Annual Conference in Phoenix, May 9-11, 2023.
