BioSTIK™ is Genesis Water Technologies’ advanced modular biological treatment solution designed to sustainably treat industrial and municipal wastewater streams. Unlike traditional activated sludge or media-based MBBR systems, the BioSTIK™ process utilizes tubular bioreactor modules containing impregnated, non-toxic beneficial bacteria that continuously break down organic contaminants, ammonia, and nutrients.
These tubular modules provide a protected environment for stable biofilm growth, offering high treatment efficiency, faster biological recovery, and exceptional resilience to changes in hydraulic or organic loading. BioSTIK™ can be seamlessly integrated into new treatment systems or used to upgrade existing aeration basins, lagoons, or equalization tanks without additional civil construction.
The BioSTIK™ process is based on a proprietary tubular bioreactor module packed with a specialized internal matrix infused with beneficial, non-pathogenic bacteria. These bacteria naturally colonize the internal surfaces and form a protected, self-sustaining biofilm.
As wastewater flows around and through each BioSTIK™ module, contaminants come into direct contact with the active biofilm, where they are biologically degraded.
Key steps in the BioSTIK™ treatment process include:
Wastewater flows across the BioSTIK™ tubes in aerobic or anoxic zones
Beneficial bacteria metabolize BOD, COD, ammonia, and organic pollutants
Biofilm remains protected from shock loading and toxic spikes
Excess biofilm naturally sloughs off, maintaining optimal biological activity
The process continues 24/7 with minimal operator intervention
The result is a stable, high-rate biological treatment system that can dramatically improve effluent quality while minimizing sludge production and operating costs.
