How it Works
Aquacycl’s BioElectrochemical Treatment Technology (BETT) uses naturally existing bacteria to treat wastewater and generate direct electricity. Every system starts with customer wastewater and natural microbes – nothing grown in the lab, nothing genetically modified.

Expanding production capacity?
No problem. Just add more BETT® reactors. Each reactor is about the size of a car battery, and they stack together like Legos™ to increase treatment capacity or quality.
Production variability?
Our bugs are tough. We’ve starved them. We’ve overfed them. We’ve even bleached them. Within 24 hours of normal flow, they are back at their expected treatment rate.
