Ayala Water & Ecology is the developer of the Natural Biological System (NBS), a sustainable technology for on-site treatment of sewage and waste streams, rehabilitation of affected water bodies, and the rejuvenation of watersheds.
The NBS is used to holistically and simultaneously purify contaminated water, soil, and air. Each system is created from modular treatment compartments embedded in the natural topography to minimize energy requirements. The treatment compartments contain a combination of biotic and abiotic components, plants, and aggregates selected for their physical and chemical properties and varying internal hydraulic layouts.
The NBS aims to change the global water-energy footprint, reduce dependence on energy and maintenance, free up water resources for on-site usage, and restore natures ability to preserve and protect itself.
The PM-NBS is the companys portable and modular version of the NBS. It is easy to transport and install anywhere in the world and could fill a major technical gap, especially in remote areas lacking good water and where conventional decentralized systems are not feasible due to technical and operational difficulties, a lack of reliable energy resources, the need for skilled technical teams, and cost.
