BioLargo Announces Funding for Design/Installation of Full-Scale “Zero Liquid Discharge” Wastewater Treatment and Reuse Project

Alberta Innovates commits to provide significant funding

Westminster, CA – December 22, 2020 – BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), developer of cutting-edge environmental technologies and a full-service engineering company, announced today that its Canadian subsidiary has received grant funding necessary to begin the design and construction of a full-scale farm-wide “zero liquid discharge” wastewater treatment and reuse project at Sunworks Farm, an organic poultry producer in Alberta, Canada.

Scheduled to begin operating next year, BioLargo will design, build, install and operate a custom water treatment train featuring its patented Advanced Oxidation System (AOS) technology. The system will treat all wastewater produced by farming operations and convert it to reusable water, saving the farm money and reducing its environmental impact. This project will make Sunworks Farm the first “zero liquid discharge” poultry facility in Alberta Canada, a significant technical and environmental achievement for both companies and for the Canadian poultry industry.

Alberta Innovates has committed funding for the project through the Water Innovation Program (https://albertainnovates.ca/programs/water-innovation/).

BioLargo Water President Dr. Richard Smith commented, “Poultry production in North America results in the discharge of over 60 billion gallons of wastewater into the environment every year, with few farms currently opting for capture and reuse systems. Zero liquid discharge systems are increasing in popularity due to their water use and discharge cost savings and because of the substantial environmental benefits. Our goal is for the AOS to be a by-word for water reuse.”

“BioLargo’s Advanced Oxidation System (AOS) technology has the potential to protect Alberta’s water quality and improve water reuse at Sunworks Farm. Advancing the reuse of wastewater through innovation is an important way to support economic development and environmental stewardship in Alberta”, says Dr. Brett Purdy, Executive Director of Environmental Innovation at Alberta Innovates.

BioLargo to Report Record Revenues in Fourth Quarter of 2020

Westminster, CA – December 21, 2020 – BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), a developer of sustainable technologies and a full-service environmental engineering company, today announced that its current fourth quarter revenues of approximately $750,000 will result in new quarterly and annual records for the company.

In addition to setting revenue records, BioLargo also significantly reduced its debt obligations during the year. At December 31, 2019, its balance sheet showed approximately $4.6 million in notes payable and lines of credit, not including solely owed obligations of its partially owned subsidiary Clyra Medical. During this calendar year, BioLargo reduced the $4.6 million owed by over $2.8 million to approximately $1.7 million. Of that amount, $357,000 are SBA Paycheck Protection Act loans (which management expects will be forgiven in accordance with SBA’s terms), $200,000 will be converted to equity at maturity, and the remaining approximately $1.1 million may be converted by the investors and if not, will mature in August 2021.

BioLargo CEO Dennis P. Calvert commented, “I am proud of our team’s accomplishments in 2020, and am optimistic that we can continue the momentum next year and further improve our financial condition with successful execution of projects and contracts already in hand, as well as new product launches. Of course, multiple factors may affect the timing and amount of our sales, including uncertainties and unusual challenges related to the pandemic, and the obvious challenges inherent in introducing new technologies to the market.”

In a presentation recorded at the LD Micro virtual investor conference on December 14, 2020, Mr. Calvert explained that the company needs to reach approximately $1.25 million in quarterly revenues to get to cash-flow positive for operations supported by BioLargo (which excludes Clyra, which is independently financed). In the video, available below, he also explained the drivers behind the record revenues and detailed the company’s plans to launch its long-anticipated water treatment technologies, the BioLargo AOS and BioLargo AEC, in 2021.

BioLargo Winning Big Projects for CupriDyne Clean Delivery Systems

Subsidiary ONM Environmental leading the way

Westminster, CA – December 1, 2020 – ONM Environmental, Inc., a subsidiary of BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), a developer of sustainable technologies and a full-service environmental engineering company, has recently installed several large and financially significant CupriDyne Clean air quality control systems at public and private landfills. These projects are noteworthy because of their size, sophistication, and scope relative to past projects, and feature CupriDyne Clean, the company’s award-winning cost-effective odor and VOC control product that eliminates odor-causing compounds and VOCs rather than masking them.  

These most recent projects are driving increasing sales for ONM in recent months. Management anticipates these projects will propel the company to record revenues in the fourth quarter, assuming no delays in project execution occur as a result of significant new COVID-related government shutdowns or regulations.

These projects also include the use of ONM’s turnkey, self-contained misting trailers. These new trailers allow customers to control odors directly where new waste is being deposited on any given day. Designed and optimized to deliver ONM’s flagship product, CupriDyne Clean, these trailers lead to ongoing, continuous sales of this product, bolstering the overall scalability of the company’s air quality control business.

A video of the trailer can be viewed here: https://www.biolargo.com/cupridyne-misting-trailer

ONM also began working with two municipalities in Southern California, one of which required the installation of a 4,000-foot-long perimeter misting system for a landfill. The second involved ONM delivering multiple of its new portable misting trailers which use its flagship product CupriDyne Clean on an ongoing basis.

President of ONM Environmental, Joe Provenzano stated, “We have a reputation as a company that delivers the highest quality and most dependable air quality control solutions and deployment systems, even in some of the toughest on-the-ground conditions in industry. We are winning larger and more financially significant projects than ever before.”

The company provided a photo gallery from recent installations (including the new portable trailers). This photo gallery is available here: https://www.biolargo.com/case-studies

Odin (BioLargo/BKT Joint Venture) Headquarters Moving to Korea Water Cluster in Daegu, South Korea

Earlier this year, BioLargo announced the formation of a joint venture with BKT & Tomorrow Water to launch BioLargo’s patented odor and VOC control product CupriDyne Clean (www.cupridyne.com) into the Asian market under the brand name “Odin”. The new join venture was designed to manufacture and support distribution of the odor and VOC control products developed and sold by its subsidiary ONM Environmental, Inc. (www.onmenvironmental.com) in multiple countries throughout Asia, focusing initially on BKT’s established water and wastewater customer base.

BKT is a leading wastewater treatment solutions provider operating in the USA, South Korea, and Vietnam with a reputation for adopting innovative, environmentally sustainable technologies and practices. In the agreement between BioLargo and BKT, it was planned that the joint venture would eventually move its headquarters to the city of Daegu, which is a center for high-tech innovation in South Korea.

The BKT/BioLargo joint venture (Odin) is now officially moving its headquarters to the Korea Water Cluster in Daegu. The Korea Water Cluster is a newly opened water innovation hub in Daegu that provides significant business, scientific, engineering, human resources, and logistical assets to companies. Odin is set to be the first international joint venture headquartered at the Korea Water Cluster campus.

Water clusters and innovations groups exist all over the world, but the Korea Water Cluster is unique because of its significant physical footprint in Daegu, its substantial physical resources, and the funding it has received from the South Korean government. The Korea Water Cluster’s campus spans over 14 square kilometers, with state-of-the art testing facilities and business support centers.

Overview of Korea Water Cluster facilities (source: www.watercluster.or.kr


James Kim, COO of BKT, commented on the importance of the move to Daegu, “the Water Cluster will be a hub for R&D in the water  industry, and it will introduce innovative technologies in one place, providing opportunity for collaboration and cooperation among companies and ventures.”

He continued, “Korea Water Cluster will be a test bed and showcase for many innovative technologies not only for Korean clients but also many other clients in Asia. Odor is one of the major issues that wastewater treatment plants would like to remove, and it is becoming more important. By moving its headquarters to this Water Cluster, Odin will be naturally exposed to more clientele in Korea and also in Asia. BioLargo and Tomorrow Water signed an MOU with the City of Daegu at the WEFTEC last year, and the Mayor of Daegu promised strong support on market expansion in this region. Odin is the first foreign invested joint venture who moved into this cluster.”

Odin’s move to the Korea Water Cluster comes at a time when the joint venture is working to establish its manufacturing base for odor and VOC control products in South Korea. Not only will the move provide access for Odin to key opinion leaders in the water innovation industry in South Korea, but it will allow for significant business-to-business collaboration as the joint venture partners works to market Odin products in the region.

BioLargo Awarded Contract for Engineering Services at Major Chemical Manufacturing Facility

Westminster, CA – October 21, 2020 – BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), developer of sustainable technologies and a full-service environmental engineering company, announced today that its subsidiary BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies (BLEST) has been awarded a contract to assist in the reconfiguration of the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) systems used at a large chemical manufacturing plant on the East Coast of the US, owned by a global chemical company, that produces phenolic resins, antioxidants and related synthetic organic products. The contract is expected to execute with a series of milestones through mid-2021, with anticipated scope expanding the contract period to at least 24 months and over $500,000 in total revenue.

A Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer is a device that destroys unwanted organic air contaminants produced as a result of the phenolic resin production process. An RTO is a highly energy-efficient technology that uses waste heat to eliminate organic air contaminants, and is a crucial piece of equipment for this chemical plant.

The plant is preparing to shut down an existing, older RTO and re-route the exhaust treated by that RTO to a newer, much larger and more efficient RTO. This will result in significant energy efficiency and cost savings improvements to the facility. The work to reconfigure these RTO systems is not trivial, requiring substantial engineering and design work to ensure it proceeds safely and efficiently. BLEST has been contracted to conduct the initial engineering work to assess the feasibility of the RTO reconfiguration project. BLEST engineers have significant experience engineering and designing RTO systems, with some of its engineers having designed multiple RTO systems for the facility.

Lorianne Shultz Awarded 2020 NWRI-BioLargo Graduate Fellowship

For many years, BioLargo has sponsored fellowships offered by the National Water Research Institute (NWRI) to graduate students in the US who focus on cutting-edge water research. This $5,000 fellowship recognizes students who research the technical and scientific aspects of advanced water and wastewater treatment.

This year, we are happy to announce that the NWRI-BioLargo Graduate Fellowship has been awarded to Lorianne Shultz, a PhD student at the University of Central Florida. Shultz’s research project, which she is completing in the laboratory of Dr. Titel Jurca, is called “Chlorine Stable Heterogeneous Catalysts for the Remediation of Stubborn Water Pollutants”.

Lorianne Shultz, NWRI-
BioLargo Fellowship winner

Lorianne explained to us the importance of her research, “Pharmaceuticals and personal care products are accumulating in our waterways at alarming rates; this is especially true with the world’s growing population. This issue can be remediated through heterogenous catalytic degradation of these pollutants, a methodology that I believe is commonly overlooked in the water-industry. I was thrilled to receive this fellowship as it helps validate the use of catalytic materials for water-remediation and these funds help me expand this field of research further. I am excited to be working in connection with BioLargo, a company so dedicated to this field and at the forefront of improvement for water treatment systems.”

Dennis P. Calvert, President & CEO of BioLargo, commented, “Shultz’s research goals align well with NWRI’s mission to protect and improve water management in the US, and they also align with BioLargo’s vision of seeking innovative new methods of addressing tough contaminants that threaten the health and safety of people around the world. We are thrilled to sponsor her work, and we are excited to learn from her research.”

NWRI is a 501c3 nonprofit that collaborates with water utilities, regulators, and researchers in innovative ways to help develop new, healthy sources of drinking water. To learn more about NWRI’s graduate fellowship program, go to the NWRI website: https://www.nwri-usa.org/fellowships.

Clyraguard Personal Protection Spray Now Available On Amazon.Com For Consumers Nationwide

BioLargo subsidiary Clyra Medical Technologies Joins Forces with Powerplay Retail to Ensure

Broad Availability of Revolutionary Product to Safeguard Against Airborne Viruses

Westminster, CA – October 14, 2020 – Just in time for Amazon Prime Day, BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), developer of sustainable life science technologies, today announced that Clyraguard, the personal disinfectant and germicidal spray that safely and easily decontaminates masks and face coverings, is now available at the Clyra Medical Store on Amazon.com. Clyraguard is manufactured by BioLargo’s subsidiary Clyra Medical Technologies, a med-tech company with deep experience fighting hospital-acquired infections with innovative technologies.

In addition, Clyra Medical announced a partnership with Powerplay Retail, an agency and distributor that has helped launch some of the best-known consumer products in the world, to roll-out Clyraguard to major retailers nationwide. Powerplay Retail brings to bear relationships with some of the world’s biggest online and in-store retailers, including more than 80 of the largest, most recognizable retailers in the United States.

BioLargo President & CEO Dennis Calvert commented, “We have assembled an exceptional team to execute a multi-phase roll out plan for Clyraguard. This Amazon launch, in partnership with Powerplay Retail, is another important step toward maximizing consumer access to this valuable product.”

“As we continue to battle this unprecedented pandemic, Clyraguard provides an embedded layer of iodine on one’s mask or face covering for additional protection against unwanted pathogens, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus, without having to remove your mask,” said Steve Harrison, CEO, Clyra Medical Technologies. “Until now, this hospital-grade disinfectant was available only to healthcare professionals. Making Clyraguard available on Amazon.com, as well as partnering with Powerplay Retail, ensures we can deliver a much-needed solution to consumers nationwide.”

Clyraguard has shown complete inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), according to recent testing at University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, and is based on Clyra Medical’s original advanced wound care technology, which received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  Clyraguard is a hospital-grade, FDA-registered disinfectant that is specifically indicated for PPE, like masks and face coverings.

“At Powerplay our goal is to help our retail partners find the right brands and the right technologies while weeding out the noise in this increasingly competitive marketspace,” said Tracy Thie, Principal, Co-Founder Powerplay Retail.  “As health and safety have become a core part of our daily lives, we have made it a point to help support our retail partners to bring the right health & wellness products to the masses. Our partnership with Clyra creates a great opportunity to bring Clyraguard to market at a time when people want and need this product.”

Clyraguard has been rigorously tested and proven to be safe and long-lasting, providing an extremely high 99.999% antimicrobial efficacy against viruses, bacteria and fungi.  Gentle and safe, its eco-friendly ingredients are mineral-based, alcohol-free, non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing.

Available in 4 oz. spray bottle, the personal protection spray is small enough for a purse or pocket yet contains two months of supply with typical usage, and for travelers, Clyraguard classifies under current TSA hand sanitizer exemptions. Clyraguard is now available to consumers online at www.clyramedical.com, the Clyra Medical Store on Amazon.com, and soon to be available at retailers nationwide.

BioLargo Wins Octane HTA Award for COVID-19 Response

Over the past few months, BioLargo pivoted to develop and deliver solutions to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic, including Clyraguard Personal Protection Spray, manufactured and sold by our subsidiary Clyra Medical Technologies. At the outset of the pandemic, we recognized that our iodine-based technologies would make a meaningful contribution to the fight against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Our response is directly in line with our mission statement to “make life better” because nothing is more important right now than helping protect people against this virus.

Last week at the 27th Octane High Tech Awards, BioLargo was honored for its contribution to the fight against COVID with a “COVID-19 Response Recognition Award”. We thank the Octane team for this honor, and we are humbled to have been recognized among such incredible Orange County based innovators.

The award highlighted BioLargo’s agile response to COVID. They noted that the company’s subsidiary Clyra Medical Technologies worked quickly to roll out Clyraguard Personal Protection Spray (www.clyramedical.com/clyraguard), which recently launched to great enthusiasm, with sales and distribution presently ramping up through national partners.

Clyraguard, an FDA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant, offers an additional line of defense against COVID-19. It helps protects mask-wearers from cross contamination by providing quick, safe, effective on-the-go decontamination of masks and other noncritical PPE. It has been tested and proven effective to completely inactivate SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in a published study conducted by Galveston National Lab (UTMB-Galveston), and it is proven to be non-toxic, non-irritating, non-sensitizing, safe on skin, and eco-friendly.

Launching this product was no easy task – Clyra set up contract manufacturing capable of delivering up to 1 million units per month, secured FDA registration, built a full-scale marketing campaign that is currently launching, and established partnerships with national distributors.

BioLargo also advanced its proprietary iodine technology to be used as an environmental disinfectant. Already, third-party studies were conducted that proved the product, derived from BioLargo’s CupriDyne® technology, achieving complete inactivation against SARS-CoV-2 in only 10 minutes.

This award is not the first time that BioLargo has been honored by Octane at their HTA event. In 2017, BioLargo received an Octane award for Horizontal Disruption because of the company’s diverse innovative life sciences technologies. The following year, BioLargo CEO Dennis P. Calvert was invited to be a judge for the 2018 HTA awards alongside decorated entrepreneur Shawn Dougherty (who is now Clyra Medical Technologies’ Chief Revenue Officer). We believe organizations like Octane, which is Orange County's premier tech incubator, are crucial in times like these, as they promote the advancement of critically important innovative technologies that help make people’s lives better.

On a Clyraguard-related note – we are anxious to update everyone on the advancement of Clyraguard sales, so keep an eye out for more Clyraguard news!

BioLargo’s CupriDyne Technology Shown Capable of Complete SARS-CoV-2 Inactivation in 10 Minutes

Westminster, CA – September 2, 2020 – BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), developer of sustainable technologies and a full-service environmental engineering company, today announced an important milestone in its ongoing efforts to bring to market a safe and effective antiviral disinfectant based on its patented CupriDyne® technology. In a third-party study conducted by researchers at the Galveston National Laboratory (GNL) at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), a modified CupriDyne formula was shown to cause complete inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 (the COVID-19 virus) in 10 minutes – roughly the same performance observed with highly concentrated bleach.

BioLargo had previously disclosed that its CupriDyne technology was proven capable of reducing SARS-CoV-2 titers by 99% after 30 minutes, with complete inactivation occurring after 60 minutes of CupriDyne exposure. Since that time, BioLargo scientists worked to modify the CupriDyne formula to achieve faster bacterial and viral inactivation in order to prepare to file for an EPA registration for a new disinfecting product (to be named) that is based on the CupriDyne technology. These new results indicate that those efforts were successful, and that the technology is now capable of total antiviral disinfection in 10 minutes against SARS-CoV-2.

BioLargo President & CEO Dennis P. Calvert commented, “We believe that the future is bright for our CupriDyne-based disinfectants. We intend to apply for registration with the EPA once product designs are finalized.  It is important to understand that we are achieving these extraordinary results at a significantly lower concentration than that of bleach in the same test protocol. We have retained a leading EPA consulting firm to lead us in the EPA registration process and intend to move ahead as soon as possible. These products are a great addition to our expanding portfolio.”
