BioWorks GmbH

BIOWORKS Verfahrenstechnik GmbH, headquartered near Munich, Germany, is an engineering firm specializing in wastewater treatment process solutions with over 100 field-proven installations worldwide. The company’s core offering is the OXIWORKS floating fine-bubble aeration system, which uses silicone diffuser membranes that are temperature- and acid-resistant and mounted on self-propelled floating air pipes that move laterally across basins to reach low-oxygen zones without additional mixing energy. OXIWORKS consumes less than 50% of the energy of surface aerators, targeting the 50–75% of plant power that aeration typically demands. The companion OXIRISE patented maintenance system allows individual diffusers to be raised to the water surface by injecting pressurized air, enabling in-service cleaning without dewatering the basin. Additional aeration products include OXIGRID, OXICOUP, and a Coarse Diffuser CD model. On the clarification side, BIOWORKS offers the CLARIWORKS S/P and CLARIWORKS F secondary clarifiers, SKIMWORKS skimming equipment, and DISKWORKS C disk-based clarification. Advanced treatment is addressed by the WAVEWORKS MBR membrane bioreactor. The company also provides SBR decanters, drum screens, and a service barge. The integrated BIOWORKS Process combines anaerobic Bio-P zones (achieving total phosphorus below 1 mg/L without chemical dosing), OXIWORKS-aerated activated sludge basins, simultaneous denitrification, and CLARIWORKS clarification for BOD/TSS/COD removal exceeding 95% and ammonia removal around 99%. All equipment is manufactured in Germany from corrosion-proof plastics and stainless steel.
