BioLargo to treat contaminated PFAS water from a major municipality and a federal government agency

 

BioLargo Inc (OTCQB:BLGO) Director of Strategic Marketing and Business Development Tonya Chandler talks to Proactive about the group's headway to commercialize its Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator specifically designed to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of man-made ‘forever’ chemicals.

Chandler says BioLargo will receive and treat contaminated water from a major municipality in Southern California and a federal government agency. The receipt of the treatment water from two potential clients will allow BioLargo to implement its multi-phase commercial approach.

BioLargo Discusses PFAS Commercialization, Garratt-Callahan Partnership, and $1.2 Million in New Engineering Contracts with The Stock Day Podcast (BLGO)

Phoenix, Arizona–(Newsfile Corp. – July 27, 2021) – The Stock Day Podcast welcomed BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB: BLGO) (“the Company”), a company that invents, develops, and commercializes innovative platform technologies to solve challenging environmental problems like PFAS contamination, advanced water and wastewater treatment, industrial odor and VOC control, air quality control, and infection control. President and CEO of BioLargo Dennis P. Calvert joined Stock Day host Everett Jolly for an interview.

Jolly began the interview by asking Calvert about the Company’s background and current projects. “BioLargo is a science and engineering company helping solve some of the biggest problems that face Earth and our lives, like clean air, clean water.” said Calvert. “We’re a full-service solution provider to industry,” he continued.

“Could you give us an update on BioLargo’s PFAS solution and when we’re going to see that come to the market?” asked Jolly. “[PFAS] has become the contaminant of the decade,” explained Calvert as he elaborated on the widespread dangers of PFAS. “Some people say that it is a multi-billion-dollar problem per year, and it’s getting so much attention,” said Calvert. “There is even a bill before Congress called the ‘PFAS Action Act’,” he shared.

“We’ve come up with a solution that we call the AEC, and that unit is now heading into the commercial phase,” said Calvert, explaining that BioLargo is receiving contaminated water samples from potential customers for the Company to treat with its technology in initial in-house piloting. “The University of Tennessee has agreed to participate in all of this work, so they will be doing the third-party testing of all of these samples.”

Calvert explained that once the Company’s PFAS solution has completed commercial trials, they will begin taking on client projects. “These projects will range from $250,000 to $30 million,” said Calvert. “We present a value proposition to the industry that as far as we can tell is unmatched.”

The conversation then turned to the Company’s additional projects. “In our shareholder’s meeting just a few weeks ago, we talked about a very large magnesium project where we’ve taken a waste stream from a mining operation and have shown our client [that we can] convert that to well over a billion in revenue,” said Calvert. “It’s heading into serious negotiations and we’re hoping to bring that to closure in the near future,” he added. “We invented the technology that makes it work.”

Mr. Calvert then discussed the company’s partnership with water industry veteran company Garratt-Callahan. “In the next few weeks, we will be delivering test units [to Garratt-Callahan] for the design we have created for solid separation, waste, and waste treatment,” he said. “They believe they can sell something like 25 to 35 units in the first year,” he added. “This is a great situation where our expertise is being [used in] an existing relationship with existing distribution filling a niche in the market where our special talents can be showcased, combined with their special talent of serving customers all over the country.”

“[BioLargo] is a dynamic technology and solution driven company that really has itself in a prime position to explode with revenues, drive shareholder value, and we have never been at such an exciting time in the history of the company,” said Calvert.

“What does success for BioLargo look like for 2022 and 2023?”, asked Jolly. “Our engineering group just announced a couple of weeks ago that they have landed $1.2 million in new contracts,” Calvert shared. “It really means we are going to grow.”

As House Passes PFAS Action Act, BioLargo Takes Next Step in Commercializing its PFAS Treatment System

 BioLargo begins testing source waters from prospective clients with its PFAS treatment technology

Westminster, CA – July 26, 2021 – BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), a developer of sustainable technologies and full-service environmental engineering company, announced that two potential clients (a major municipality in Southern California and a federal government agency) are sending it PFAS-contaminated water samples to be treated by BioLargo’s AEC water treatment system. This is the first step of BioLargo’s multi-phased commercial approach: (1) off-site treatment of client supplied water, (2) on-site pilot treatment at client location, and (3) full-scale operation. In this first step, BioLargo receives contaminated water from the client, evaluates it for operational optimization, treats the water removing the PFAS chemicals, and then has an independent laboratory analyze the treated water to confirm the PFAS has been removed to client specifications. In essence, it is a “proof of concept” phase to give the client confidence in moving to the next phase. Assuming a successful first phase, these agencies have asked for proposals for on-site piloting to confirm treatment success at a larger scale at the client location. Once piloting is complete, BioLargo would offer customized commercial-scale systems to each client.  

Randall Moore, President of BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies said, “By treating client water through our in-house AEC system, we can optimize it for the unique characteristics of the water from each source and confirm for the client that our system removes PFAS to the levels that meet their particular regulatory requirements.”

The AEC (Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator) is BioLargo’s proprietary water treatment technology specifically designed to remove PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a group of man-made “forever” chemicals of great emerging regulatory concern (learn more about PFAS on our blog post here: https://bit.ly/3jmIyWN), from water and soil.

On July 21, 2021, the House of Representatives passed the “PFAS Action Act of 2021”. Introduced by a bipartisan coalition in March 2021, the proposed legislation would establish a national drinking water standard for select PFAS chemicals under the Safe Drinking Water Act, designate them as hazardous chemicals (allowing the EPA to clean up contaminated sites and creating stricter rules for handling them under CERCLA), limit industrial discharges under the Clean Water Act, and provide $200 million annually to assist water utilities and treatment facilities to remove PFAS chemicals from their water. The bill would also restrict incineration of PFAS-containing wastes under the Clean Air Act, which could significantly limit the use of the most common treatment strategy: carbon filtration followed by carbon incineration.

BioLargo’s AEC technology has been proven to remove more than 99% of PFAS from contaminated water, and, compared with carbon filtration systems, generates about one tenth the PFAS-laden waste and costs less to operate. Decreased waste minimizes the environmental and regulatory burdens associated with water treatment.

Tonya Chandler, Director of Strategic Marketing and Business Development at BioLargo, said “With the passing of the PFAS Action Act of 2021 by the House of Representatives, PFAS regulations are just around the corner. BioLargo is in a perfect position to launch its revolutionary PFAS removal system into the market. The AEC produces significantly less waste than traditional systems making it a superior solution in this regulatory environment.”
