Let’s transform the landscape of Wastewater Treatment together.

    ABS Inc. provides management control tools and strategic solutions for wastewater treatment.

    Specialising in biological process optimisation and intensification, we focus on using nature-based biological solutions to manipulate population dynamics to improve treatment efficiency.

    Consulting Services

    ABS offers bespoke alternatives analysis which recognises the need for expertise in engineering, operations, and biology. The result is careful consideration of a full range of sustainable soft scientific solutions compared to traditional engineering, allowing for minimal CAPEX spend.

    Field Services

    ABS offers the ability to reduce operating cost (OPEX) and restore compliance rapidly – within 90 days.

    We support customer operations globally.

    Lab Services

    ABS offers a wide range of diagnostic laboratory services to solve even the most complex environmental challenges, backed by 32+ years of experience.

    At a Glance: Biofermentation® & the control of Population Dynamics

    ABS developed a strategic solution for the pulp & paper industry for reseeding plants and eliminating filamentous bulking – Biofermentation®:   a proprietary blend of naturally occurring, custom microbes are dosed regularly to a biological treatment system to provide multiple benefits, including:

    – Increased throughput & capacity
    – Improved compliance
    – Reduced biosolids (sludge) production at point source
    – reduced energy & chemical use
    – Reduced OPEX & CAPEX
    – Reduced CO2 emissions
    – Improved resilience to shock

    A Biological solution to a Biological problem.

    Solving the Problem: Spotlight on Water Industry Opportunities

    Compliance – An industry under extreme pressure

    Wastewater is struggling to stay compliant against increasing population demands and ever tightening consent discharge standards. Biofermentation® provides control of the biology to significantly improve effluent quality; reducing key parameters to meet the tightest environmental standards.

    High Costs crippling Wastewater providers

    Inflation and global geopolitical factors have driven the cost of wastewater treatment up globally. Between electricity and chemical price increases, plus the increasing cost of capital and operation; the industry must seek to reduce costs where possible. Biofermentation® can reduce aeration electricity use by 25%+, and sludge production at point source by up to 90%, representing huge cost reductions. In addition to this, the capacity & throughput benefits associated with Biofermentation can allow a reduction in TOTEX of 25%+
    See the ABS TOTEX calculator here for more information.

    The Drive for Net Carbon Zero

    ABS prides itself on providing soft, scientific solutions where possible, instead of carbon heavy, unsustainable engineering. ABS, with the assistance of AECOM carried out Carbon Modelling which demonstrates a Biofermentation® approach is a fraction of the carbon cost of a capital engineering solution.
