Blixitt's biochemical solutions refresh wastewater systems throughout Asia
As urban establishments, such as hotels and restaurants, mushroom throughout Asia, municipal wastewater treatment systems struggle to keep up. Expensive to maintain and repair, these systems can pose significant public health hazards when breakdowns are unattended. Blixitt brings cost-effective and efficient biochemical solutions for wastewater treatment to Asia, as it has successfully done in Canada and the United States.
As urban establishments, such as hotels and restaurants, mushroom throughout Asia, municipal wastewater treatment systems struggle to keep up. Expensive to maintain and repair, these systems can pose significant public health hazards when breakdowns are unattended. Blixitt brings cost-effective and efficient biochemical solutions for wastewater treatment to Asia, as it has successfully done in Canada and the United States.
"Although we can present a solution for an immediate problem, we prefer to incorporate an economically sustainable preventative solution - treating wastewater as far upstream as possible before it even gets to the treatment plants," says Marcus Paul, president.
Blixitt's solutions clear up and prevent clogs in a city's wastewater systems, offering at least 30 per cent in savings compared to traditional methods. These solutions use a patented combination of bacterial strains and time-released oxygen to break down clog-causing fat, oil and grease. Toxic, odour-causing hydrogen sulphide levels are virtually eliminated, significantly reducing and reversing the need for wastewater system maintenance and repair, and benefiting public health and safety.
With a presence in Hong Kong, the company looks to extend the reach of its services to the mainland and Singapore where it has discussed the merits of its solutions with Singapore's national water agency, PUB. The agency is favourable to Blixitt's approach, which reduces the city's resources that are directed to chemically treating organic wastewater. The company is conducting field trials in Singapore.
Blixitt was awarded a Hong Kong Green Label Award in 2009 that certifies its solutions as non-toxic. It also won the Asia Green Award at the 2013 Hotel Expo held in Macau.
Blixitt seeks distribution partners in Asia with service- or solution-based sales for the wastewater treatment market. It will also consider local manufacturing partners to further its Asian expansion plans.
