Frequently Asked Questions

(FAQs)

General Information

Who are Bio Systems Europe?

Bio Systems Europe is a UK-based manufacturer specialising in biological solutions for wastewater treatment, land remediation, and odour control. Our innovative products use naturally occurring, non-pathogenic bacteria to enhance environmental processes, ensuring compliance with regulations while reducing operational costs.

What is the shelf life of these products?

Most of our biological products have a two-year shelf life, ensuring long-term effectiveness when stored correctly.

Where are these products manufactured?

All of our biological solutions are manufactured at our Malvern, UK facility, where we oversee production from fermentation to final formulation to ensure the highest quality standards.

Waste Treatment

What are biological wastewater treatment products?

Biological wastewater treatment products contain highly concentrated and stabilised bacteria that accelerate the natural breakdown of contaminants in wastewater.

What do these products achieve?
  • Improve wastewater treatment plants performance to ensure compliance with discharge consent limits.
  • Increase loading capacity and optimise energy efficiency.
  • Reduce ammonia, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS).
Where are these products used?
  • Food and beverage processing plants
  • Oil refineries
  • Animal rendering facilities
  • Municipal wastewater treatment plants
How do they work?

By increasing the number of high-performance bacteria in the treatment process, our products accelerate the breakdown of contaminants, improving water quality.

Where and how are they applied?
  • Application Point: Added directly to the aeration section of a wastewater treatment plant.
  • No Pre-treatment Required: The bacteria begin working immediately.

Land Remediation

What are biological land remediation products?

These are naturally occurring, non-pathogenic bacteria that degrade hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other pollutants in contaminated soil and groundwater.

What do these products achieve?
  • Accelerate bioremediation of polluted land.
  • Break down hydrocarbons, solvents, and heavy metals.
  • Reduce environmental impact and remediation costs.
Where are these products used?
  • Petrochemical and oil spill clean-ups
  • Brownfield site redevelopment
  • Landfill leachate treatment
  • Agricultural land restoration
How do they work?

The bacteria digest pollutants, converting them into harmless by-products like carbon dioxide and water, restoring the land naturally.

Where and how are they applied?
  • Application Methods: Applied via soil inoculation, in-situ treatment, or ex-situ remediation.
  • No Pre-treatment Required: The bacteria begin working immediately.

Odour Control

What are biological odour control products?

These are natural microbial solutions designed to eliminate odours at the source by breaking down volatile organic compounds, hydrogen sulphide, and ammonia.

What do these products achieve?
  • Neutralise odours without masking them.
  • Break down hydrogen sulphide (H₂S), ammonia (NH₃), and other malodorous compounds.
  • Provide a sustainable alternative to chemical treatments.
Where are these products used?
  • Wastewater treatment plants
  • Landfill sites and waste management facilities
  • Food processing and agricultural operations
  • Composting facilities
How do they work?

By introducing specialised bacteria that degrade odour-causing compounds, our solutions remove unpleasant smells at a microbial level.

Where and how are they applied?
  • Application Methods: Sprayed, fogged, or directly applied.
  • No Pre-treatment Required: The bacteria start working immediately.
