Renergi’s biochar is a versatile, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative solution to tackle stormwater management and wastewater treatment.
Pollutant Removal
Biochar’s porous structure and oxygen-containing functional groups make it highly effective at adsorbing pollutants, including heavy metals, organic contaminants, and pathogens, significantly improving water quality.
Nutrient Retention / Recovery
Biochar can retain essential nutrients, preventing them from leaching into waterways and causing eutrophication.
Enhanced Properties
When used in stormwater biofilters, biochar improves soil aggregation and increases water infiltration, which helps manage runoff and reduce flooding.
Microbial Support
Biochar provides a habitat for beneficial microbes, enhancing the breakdown of organic pollutants and improving the overall treatment efficiency.
Enhanced Sludge Treatment
Adding biochar to activated sludge treatment processes can reduce energy use for aeration and improve the settling ability of sludge.
Odor Mitigation
Biochar helps in reducing odours associated with wastewater treatment by adsorbing volatile organic compounds and other odour-causing substances.
