BioShaft Water Technology Inc.
BioShafts patented wastewater technology is simple & inspired by how rivers in nature handle the wastewater of plants & animals. Nature inspired a simple design that is extremely efficient. This efficiency allows for significant reductions in footprint, capital & operating costs, while providing unique solutions to a host of common issues such as:
o Pressing capacity
o Footprint challenges
o Sludge management
Bioshaft has also been proven to address tough wastewater treatment applications at slaughterhouses and food & beverage processing plants.
Biosahft can be leveraged in a both new wastewater treatment plants as well as in the expansion of existing conventional treatment plants for the following applications:
o Municipalities
o Private developments
o Resorts
o Industrial
TMBBR (Municipalities, Private Developments & Resorts)
The patented Turbo Moving Bed Bio Reactor (T-MBBR) technology by BioShaft is a proven biological wastewater treatment technology that utilizes near 100% attached growth biofilm in a low attrition environment with no stagnant zones or any chance of biofilm sloughing.
The well-developed and constantly replenished biofilm rapidly breakdowns and consumes organics in the wastewater stream. The integrated T-MBBR System has a high tolerance to process upsets and high nutrient reduction capability.
Compared to conventional aeration-clarification systems, the T-MBBR technology cuts the wastewater retention time by more than half, therefore treating the same daily volume of wastewater in less than half the footprint required by a conventional wastewater treatment system.
Conventional systems also produce large amounts of watery sludge that contain slow settling suspended solids. The majority of the solids generated by the T-MBBR system are fast-settling biologically exhausted colonies of bacteria and microorganisms that are captured quickly by the downstream clarifiers. The volume of the sludge generated by the T-MBBR system is around 80% less than the sludge volume produced by conventional systems. The resulting savings in sludge dewatering, transportation and disposal costs lead to more than 30% reduction in ongoing operating costs compared to the operating costs of conventional treatment systems.
Compared to other advanced biological wastewater treatment technologies like RBC, MBR and traditional MBBR systems, the T-MBBR system has a lower initial capital cost, requires no coagulating chemicals, does not need any cleaning chemicals and associated downtime and does not require any major replacement costs every few years.

MAAD (Industrial)
The proprietary Modular Anoxic Aerobic Digester (MAAD) process by BioShaft integrates an anaerobic digestion tank with the T-MBBR System. The raw pre-screened wastewater undergoes partial treatment through the anaerobic tank before it’s treated through the T-MBBR System. Depending on the application, most or all of the sludge effluent from the system’s secondary clarifiers is sent to the anaerobic tank for complete digestion.
The MAAD process is particularly suited for industrial wastewaters with moderate amounts of fat and proteins which increase the organic loading and cause scum formation in the aeration tanks and settling problems in the secondary clarifiers. The MAAD System is also particularly suited for wastewaters with variable composition and occasional spikes in the concentrations of certain compounds. Examples are wastewaters from food processing plants, dairies and slaughter houses.
When used in municipal wastewater treatment applications, the MAAD process reduces sludge generation by more than 95% compared to the conventional biological wastewater treatment systems. A municipal MAAD system does not produce daily volumes of sludge. Instead, all of the sludge from the secondary clarifiers in sent to the anaerobic tank to be digested. Only inert solids begin to accumulate inside the anaerobic tank. These solids are cleaned out once every few months. The anaerobic digestion step reduces aeration therefore power consumption requirements.
