Mr. Nair has more than 20 years of experience in the water industry in the United Kingdom and around the world, including 15 years at preeminent global water firm MWH. He has served in multiple executive roles, including more recently as MWH’s Water and Wastewater Treatment Product Line & Technical Director
Read MoreMicrovi’s technology uses specialized natural organisms to remove an unprecedented amount of phosphorus from any body of water, including wastewater, to below 0.1 mg/L phosphorus. It also enables recovery of the nutrient so it can be converted into agricultural fertilizer.
Read MoreThe new technology, based on Microvi’s MicroNiche Engineering Platform Technology™, can convert biogas that is created at facilities like landfills and wastewater treatment plants into important energy chemicals such as biobutanol.
Read MoreTwo white papers about Microvi’s innovative wastewater treatment technologies will be presented at this year’s WEFTEC exhibition and conference, the company announced today. The papers focus on recent projects that have proven the effectiveness of Microvi’s nutrient removal technologies.
Read MoreMicrovi’s Denitrovi™ technology was successful in treating groundwater for the city of Avondale, Ariz. that had levels of nitrate ranging from 6.6 to 14.7 mg/L. Microvi’s solution reduced nitrate levels in well water to acceptable levels in three phases of testing.
Read MoreDr. Shirazi will be speaking about the paradigm shifts enabled by Microvi’s innovative MicroNiche Engineering™ platform, which provides more reliable and cost-effective methods to produce biofuels and biobased chemicals.
Read MoreThe project, which is being conducted in partnership with MWH Global and Sydney Water Corporation, shows that Microvi’s biocatalytic Denitrovi technology is highly effective.
Read MoreThe acceptance, considered a gold standard in the water industry, follows months of extensive testing that has proven Microvi’s drinking water solutions to be highly efficient and safe.
Read MoreThe project, done in collaboration with a municipal wastewater treatment facility in the United Kingdom, shows that Microvi’s Aerovi™ technology can treat three times the flow of a conventional activated sludge system, with less than a tenth of the waste sludge production.
Read MoreMicrovi’s technology uses engineered biocatalyst composites which have been synthetically designed to 1) alleviate ethanol toxicity on the cells which produce it, 2) induce higher feedstock conversion yields and efficiencies, and 3) enable robust and repeatable continuous fermentation.
Read MoreAt the convention Microvi will be part of the Innovation Zone, a hub for the most promising biotech companies to exhibit their novel technologies. All of the companies in the zone have been competitively selected by the NIH or NSF to meet strict guidelines about their technologies and commercialization potential.
Read MoreThe annual award recognizes women who have made significant public contributions and accomplishments in California’s assembly district 20, which is represented by Assemblymember Bill Quirk. Dr. Shirazi is the business honoree of the award.
Read MoreResults showed that Microvi’s biocatalyst technologies substantially reduced ammonia and nitrate in the water at lower treatment times than many conventional methods, with a reduced secondary waste stream.
Read MoreThe technology called MB-COMET™, based on Microvi’s MicroNiche Engineering™ technology, is a versatile biocatalytic solution based on the nexus of advanced materials science and microbial ecology.
Read MoreThe Global Cleantech 100 represents the most innovative and promising ideas in cleantech. Featuring companies that are best positioned to solve tomorrow’s clean technology challenges, Global Cleantech 100 is a comprehensive list of private companies with the highest potential to make the most significant market impact.
Read MoreMicrovi’s technology will reduce the amount of selenium in wastewater to below 5 parts-per-billion, a standard that can be prohibitively expensive to achieve using existing technologies.
Read MoreThis follows on the success of work completed during the Phase I grant, where a prototype was developed and tested of a first-of-its-kind biological treatment technology for dioxane degradation called MB-DX™.
Read MoreARPA-E supports the development of transformational energy technologies with the potential for high impact on society.
Read MoreMB-N2 technology is the first to degrade nitrate in water without producing a secondary waste stream and has dramatically lower treatment times and higher removal efficiencies than conventional systems.
Read MoreThe technology overcomes toxic and inhibitory effects on butanol producing microorganisms, a major bottleneck in scaling existing biobutanol processes.
