Aquacycl

Aquacycl, headquartered in Escondido, California with a European office in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, develops and manufactures modular bioelectrochemical wastewater treatment systems. The company's flagship BETT (Bioelectrochemical Treatment Technology) platform uses electrogenic microbes that release electrons as they consume organic matter, enabling remote monitoring and delivering 60 to 95 percent BOD removal with a 100 percent performance guarantee for permit compliance. The SulfideFix product provides biology-based H2S and odor removal achieving up to 99 percent reduction without chemical addition, improving worker safety and preventing infrastructure corrosion. Aquacycl serves the food and beverage sector including bottlers, breweries, distilleries, and confectionery producers, as well as hydrocarbon remediation, manure management, and distributed sanitation applications. The company offers treatment as a service with remote monitoring. A PepsiCo case study demonstrated elimination of 110 tons of greenhouse gas emissions per month and 23 percent reduction in monthly wastewater costs. Aquacycl's approach targets onsite water reuse with zero liquid discharge, industrial pretreatment, and sludge management for facilities seeking to expand treatment capacity without expanding infrastructure.
