Effective wastewater treatment systems are indispensable to protect the environment and achieve public health benefits. Conventional wastewater treatment methods that involve either aerobic or anaerobic processes are not optimal options today. Wastewater as toxic as today requires processes to be safe. Technology has not effectively incorporated both processes. Yet nature had the answers to the modern dilemma all along, only waiting to be harnessed.

This drew the attention of BDP EnviroTech about 15 years ago and inspired its team to seek innovative ways to redesign mainstream biological processes to successfully achieve both aerobic and anaerobic microbial water treatment in a single-step/single reactor process. They discovered facts previously disregarded from the world of bacteria/microorganisms and created a revolutionary technology—Biological Double-Efficiency Process (BDP).

“Our concepts regarding wastewater treatment are contrary to industry conventional practice and inspired by nature in original form, being bacteria and microorganisms,” says Eric Li, founder and CEO of BDP EnviroTech.

After discovering the surprising efficacy of BDP, which reduces the carbon footprint and electricity costs by 50 percent, and eliminates contamination, BDP EnviroTech has treated several types of wastewater by applying its unique patented technology over 15 years in more than 60 plants globally. It has continuously improved and optimized many details to make it a better, stabilized, and mature technology.

The BDP process successfully eliminates 95 percent of Total Nitrogen from municipal and industrial wastewaters, and high concentrations of poisonous chemicals like cyanide (removal rate of 98 percent), that other treatment methods cannot eliminate. This is just one of many features in which BDP EnviroTech takes pride.

BDP EnviroTech’s solutions can be fitted into existing industrial wastewater plants to increase capacity without adding any infrastructure (retrofitting). This helps factories increase their manufacturing capacity without investing in additional infrastructure. BDP EnviroTech produces a higher effluent quality, regardless of whether the plant is new or retrofitted. This enables factories to achieve zero discharge and 100 percent reuse of their wastewater.
BDP also has significant cost advantages, both in CAPEX and OPEX. Through the installation of its technology, the operational and maintenance costs required for wastewater treatment are reduced, helping the organization save on capital as well as operating expenditures.

BDP has minimal maintenance requirements. Its patented aeration technology reduces operational expenditures, which typically takes up 60–70 percent of the overall cost of wastewater treatment plants, to a bare minimum. It also has simple maintenance mechanisms to prevent the basins in wastewater treatment plants from being emptied for maintenance, enabling continuous operation without downtime.

BDP EnviroTech deals with municipal as well as industrial wastewaters in all the major industries e.g. petrochemical, semiconductor chip manufacturing, leachate, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, paper mill, textile, dyestuff, cosmetic plants, mining and fine chemicals.

BDP is the world’s first and only full range mainstream simultaneous nitrification-denitrification process. Plants range from both small municipal mobile units (<0.5 MGD) up to large scale (53 MGD) industrial plants (equivalent to a 200 MGD municipal plant by biological load).

Various institutions have acknowledged BDP EnviroTech’s innovative solutions. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency introduced BDP EnviroTech on its website, resulting in acknowledgments and validations from the California government, the French National Academy of Science, and Marine Environmental Technology in Maryland.

In a slow moving industry like wastewater/recycling/reuse, BDP represents a paradigmatic shift. BDP Envirotech is changing wastewater treatment solutions as it proceeds with its passion for innovative research and exceptional technology. Its commitment to the environment makes BDP EnviroTech the preferred partner for all wastewater treatment needs.
