  1. SRP Progress in Research WebinarMarch 21st, 2016 TransformingSustainability

  2. Development of a High Performance Bioprocess for Eliminating 1,4-Dioxane in Water Fatemeh Shirazi, PhD Chief Executive Officer

  3. Sources and uses of 1,4-dioxane

  4. Microvi has developed the world’s first biological process for treating 1,4-dioxane with 35%-55% lower total costs than conventional chemical or UV oxidation technologies. Polluted Water Clean Water

  5. Innovation & Technology Specifications Novel Biocatalyst Composite • High performance continuous bioreactor for the aerobic degradation of 1,4-dioxane in water to less than 5 parts-per-billion. • Two Primary Innovations: • Novel synthetic biocatalyst composites • Novel monoculture for direct oxidation of 1,4-dioxane Novel Monoculture • Simultaneous treatment of 1,4-dioxane and co-contaminants such as chlorinated solvents. • Hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 2-6 hours. • Single-pass treatment unit with no secondary waste stream.
