Advanced Aeration Ltd - Bio-Bubble Technologies

Bio-Bubble Technologies is a UK-based wastewater treatment company operating since 1989, with Advanced Aeration Ltd serving as their design, supply, installation, commissioning, and maintenance division, headquartered in Fishers Grove, Portsmouth. Their core technology is the patented Advanced Aeration process, which combines wastewater and sludge treatment within a single reactor based on the activated sludge model with proprietary improvements. The system achieves final effluent quality below 10 mg/L BOD, below 15 mg/L SS, and below 1 mg/L AmmN, with sludge production as low as 0.1 kg SS per kg BOD removed per day and approximately 85% sludge volume reduction. The process operates virtually odourless even at full load, absorbs shock organic and hydraulic loads, and can be installed underground. Bio-Bubble offers treatment configurations including Advanced Aeration SBR (sequencing batch reactor), Advanced Aeration BNR (biological nutrient removal), and Bio-Bubble Sludge Thickening. Applications range from single-house domestic systems to full-scale municipal works, including commercial installations at hotels, theme parks, nursing homes, and golf clubs, and industrial applications at breweries, dairies, pharmaceutical plants, food processors, and landfill leachate. The company won the 2007 National Energy Efficiency Awards and holds accreditations including Achilles, SafeContractor, Constructionline, and EIC. GSM remote monitoring with SMS and email alarms is standard.
