Terra Biosa · Water treatment
Cleaner water,
biologically
The microorganisms in Terra Biosa break down the organic load in water: they improve its quality, enable recirculation and keep pipes and channels clean.
💧
Water biorecovery
Breaks down the organic layer in the water and improves its transparency.
♻️
Reuse
Makes it easier to reuse and recirculate water in the process.
🛠️
Clean pipes
Reduces the organic build-up on the inner surface of pipes and channels.
Application case
Wash water at a banana packing plant
Applied in the banana wash tanks at Técnicas Agrícolas Sebastopol S.A. (Guácimo, Limón), the biological treatment allowed the effluent to meet every parameter of the Costa Rican discharge legislation.
