AdEdge’s biottta system treats contaminants through microbial digestive process

AdEdge Technologies’ biottta, which stands for biologically tailored, two-stage treatment approach, is a natural process that cultivates native microorganisms found in groundwater aquifers. To survive in the aquifer, these microbes adapt to feed on inorganic and organic constituents, which often pose a health risk to humans. Biottta promotes the growth of these benign bacteria, and in turn, they completely consume targeted contaminants. The microbial digestive process of nitrates results in low levels of nitrogen gas.

The technology is used to help municipalities and public agencies cost-effectively treat contaminated groundwater sources. 

Operating costs are very competitive — if not lower — than traditional drinking water treatment. In cases where wastewater is transported or a secondary treatment process is required for multicontaminant reduction, biottta is the lowest cost option for small-community water systems. The biottta treatment process can be applied across a wide range of contaminants. Unlike ion exchange and reverse osmosis, biottta does not require additional treatment stages for contaminant removal.

biottta has gone from benchtop testing to full-scale implementation over the past 16 years and has gained regulatory approval in states such as California and Minnesota. 

AdEdge Water Technologies is headquartered just north of Atlanta, Georgia. The company specializes in the design, development, manufacturing and supply of innovative water treatment solutions that remove contaminants from process or aqueous streams.
