OXYSHARK® WATER TREATMENT PROCESS
OxyShark®’s unique treatment process utilizes state-of-the-art technology and design to effectively treat up to thousands of gallons of wastewater per day.
Powerful Media
​
OxyShark is biological, meaning the system uses beneficial, living bacteria to remove pollutants from wastewater. As wastewater passes through “media” where bacteria are housed, the bacteria devour the organic waste materials. The media also enhances productivity and efficiency, speeding up the process and ensuring a nearly potable final product.
Natural and Biological
​
OxyShark is an aerobic system that uses living bacteria to clean wastewater. This natural process eliminates the need for chemicals, which allows operators to directly discharge or reuse the resulting water under most circumstances.
Pure Process
A unique design allows OxyShark to complete the treatment process in as little as 2-4 hours, up to 10x faster than traditional wastewater treatment alternatives. Additional treatment processes (e.g., ultrafiltration) can be added after the OxyShark process to enhance color removal, disinfection, and other treatment as required by the facility.
Re-use or Discharge
​
Once treated, the effluent wastewater finishes the process and can be clean enough to be reused on site or directly discharged.
Minimal or No Byproduct
​
OxyShark yields minimal byproduct from the wastewater treatment process, unlike traditional systems that can leave behind messy and potentially noxious sludge.
Simple and Consistent
​
OxyShark is easy to use and, once installed by a professional, easy to monitor, with little regular maintenance or training time necessary.
OXYSHARK® INSTALLATION PROCESS
​
Most operations can be equipped with and begin reaping the benefits of an OxyShark system in minimal time. Before the official system startup, the OxyShark team will conduct two site visits.
SITE VISIT ONE
​
During Site Visit One, the OxyShark team will inspect the system setup and ensure the system is functioning properly. This process includes: testing hydraulics, setting float levels on pump stations and setting functions of any supplemental equipment. An installation packet, including specs of the OxyShark unit(s), will be sent prior to the first site visit.
​
SITE VISIT TWO
​
At this point, waste-consuming bacteria are added. The OxyShark team will seed the system with the proper one-time dosage of biological elements and train site employees to operate the system.
​
SYSTEM CONTROLS
​
OxyShark is outfitted with an electro-mechanical control package. This gives the operator complete control over the entire system. The standard package includes on/off controls, automatic settings that manage the system without monitoring, and a fault lamp that alerts the operator in the event of a system malfunction. Programmable micro-processor controls and telemetry can also be added.
1. Wastewater Needs Assessment
Determine your unique wastewater needs and whether OxyShark can meet them.
​
2. Engineering For Site
OxyShark will design a system to fit the specific needs of your site.
​
3. Installation
OxyShark can be quickly installed, including retro-fits, in a matter of days.
​
4. Addition of Beneficial Bacteria
After installation, beneficial bacteria are introduced to OxyShark in a one-time procedure.
