THE INDUSTRY LEADER:
NET ZERO CARBON
WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Algaewheel®the world’s most commercially advanced algal wastewater treatment technology, designed to deliver substantial energy reductions while abating greenhouse gas emissions.

CLEAN WATER & CLEAN AIR

AWARD-WINNING PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

Algaewheel® is an innovative bio-engineered, nature-based wastewater treatment technology. It consumes up to 90% less energy than conventional systems while absorbing significantly more CO₂ than it emits to deliver a Net Zero Carbon treatment solution. In addition, methane (CH) emissions are fully abated.

This proven, U.S. patented technology bio-mimics nature’s symbiotic relationship between bacteria and algae to deliver extremely efficient biological aeration minimising the need for energy-intensive mechanical equipment.

The limited amount of energy required is capable of being offset by a small solar array to supply a truly sustainable Net Zero Energy treatment solution.

Energy Savings + CO2 Sequestration
+ Abated Emissions 

TESTED & PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL

The rapid expansion of sustainable decentralised (local) wastewater treatment solutions globally is urgently required. 

In response, OneWater developed Algaewheel®, a ground-breaking nature-based technology that sets the new standard for sustainable decentralised treatment.

Algaewheel® was designed from the “ground up” as a decentralised treatment solution capable of operating in markets which have expensive and unreliable power supplies while helping provide water security through local water re-use.
