About

Aqwise develops and implements water and wastewater treatment solutions for the industrial and municipal markets. Its solutions increase biochemical oxygen demand and nutrient removal capacity in water and wastewater treatment plants, offering enhanced utilization of existing reactors and efficiencies in the implementation of new ones. The company's proprietary Attached Growth Airlift Reactor (AGAR) technology integrates fixed-film and suspended-growth technologies. The AGAR technology combines a fully open and protected biomass carrier with an efficient aeration and mixing design in various aerobic (e.g. AGAR MBBR and AGAR IFAS) and anaerobic (e.g. DACS and DACS DANA) process configurations, resulting in effective surface areas for biomass growth and oxygen transfer efficiency. In the drinking water segment, Aqwise is operating a biological groundwater treatment facility in Israel that removes nitrates from well water without any brine residue.
