BV SORBEX, Inc. is a privately owned company established in Montreal,
Canada, to commercialize biosorption technology. The extraordinary
potential of some natural materials to bind and concentrate heavy
metals offers a promise especially in environmental applications. The
Company possesses the unique know-how for the biosorption process. A
family of newly discovered biosorbent materials is derived from
selected seaweeds and industrial biomass generated as a by-product of
large-scale (pharmaceutical) fermentations.
New biosorbents are very cost-effective in removing (and recovering)
heavy metals from contaminated water or industrial effluents. They
can be regenerated for multiple reuse just like ion exchange resins
which they outperform in many applications while priced at about 1/10
of what ionex resins are selling for.
Cheap biosorbent materials can effectively remove toxic metals such as
arsenic, lead cadmium or uranium from water as well as concentrate and
recover gold. The application of biosorbents is broad: from
detoxification of water or wastewater to recovery and resale of
precious metals.

The Company has a number of new
biosorbent products. It offers the biosorption water purification
process and engineering services where metal toxicity is threatening
the environment or water supply. This concerns particularly mining,
ore-processing, metal-plating and such industrial operations as well
as drinking-water supply. The process is based on simple flow-through
sorption columns that can be easily adapted for many types of
different large or small applications. The clientelle is indeed
world-wide.
In the biosorption process the metals of
value can also be recovered for recycle or re-sale. As the
biosorption operation uses simple and common sorption columns, its
applications are not only technically feasible but also economically
very attractive.
BV SORBEX, Inc. is looking for clients and partnerships (world-wide)
to bring the new technology of metal biosorption to its full
commercial potential. Opportunities for piloting and installations of
biosorption water treatment process columns are welcomed for different
types of metal toxicity removal in different parts of the world. |
