OliQuell Bio-catalytic coagulant & modular wastewater treatment system.

A fully biodegradable, off-grid bio-catalytic coagulant operating in a 4-stage gravity-driven system — no electricity, no synthetic reagents, no toxic sludge. CE-marked under (EU) 2019/1009. Validated across four continents in industrial, agricultural, and humanitarian deployments.

Wastewater treatment today: expensive, polluting, inaccessible.

Industrial wastewater volumes are growing faster than treatment capacity, and every existing solution carries a structural compromise — either high capital cost, intensive power draw, toxic sludge generation, or infrastructure that is simply unfeasible in rural and emerging-market contexts. The category has been waiting for a single input that closes every gap.

2.5B m³
Industrial wastewater generated annually in the EU without adequate treatment.
€100–600
Cost per ton removed using current alternatives (reverse osmosis, chemical flocculants).
4 Mt
Toxic chemical sludge generated each year by treatment flocculants alone.

Why current solutions fall short

Every dominant wastewater-treatment technology was developed for a single use case and a single cost envelope. Outside those bounds — at smaller scale, in rural areas, in agriculture, or in jurisdictions without grid power — they fail.

The result: most industrial wastewater is either undertreated, displaced, or generates secondary pollution in the form of chemical sludge that requires its own disposal pathway.

OliQuell™ is engineered to operate outside the constraint set that defines the existing category: no electricity, no synthetic reagents, no sludge byproduct, no infrastructure dependency.

Reverse osmosis
High CapEx · intensive power draw · 30–50% water reject rate
Chemical flocculants
Aluminium sulphate, PAC, polyacrylamides — non-biodegradable toxic sludge
Bioreactors
Complex infrastructure · unfeasible in rural areas or emerging markets
Activated carbon
Short service life · does not retain heavy metals · contaminated residue

One natural input. Four complementary mechanisms.

OliQuell™ combines five components in a single dispersible powder matrix, each engaged in a distinct physico-chemical mechanism: ion exchange, bio-adsorption, antimicrobial action, natural flocculation, and matrix stabilisation. The combination delivers what no single chemistry — synthetic or natural — has achieved alone.

Figure 1 · Five-component bio-catalytic matrix

Component 01

proprietary mineral
Mechanism · Ion exchange & pH buffering

Stabilises pH across irrigation and fertigation loops; supports cation exchange for dissolved-metal capture. The pH-buffering action also enables the cationic polymer component to remain in its protonated, metal-binding form across the operating range.

Component 02

proprietary mineral
Mechanism · Antimicrobial action

Surface-active antimicrobial that suppresses bacterial and biofilm activity during retention. Critical for digester and bio-residue applications, where microbial methanogenesis is the source of the GHG and odour load.

Component 03

natural biopolymer
Mechanism · Heavy-metal capture

A natural cationic biopolymer with high affinity for chromium, copper, lead, and other divalent and trivalent metal ions. Replaces synthetic polyacrylamide flocculants while delivering superior metal retention — without leaving a non-biodegradable polymer residue.

Component 04

plant-derived protein
Mechanism · Natural flocculation

Plant-derived cationic protein flocculant in a proprietary processed form. The processing route was selected specifically to resolve the supernatant-fouling observed with prior preparations during industrial-customer testing — and is now the production-grade input.

Component 05

natural polysaccharide
Mechanism · Matrix stabilisation

Stabilises the dispersible powder matrix and ensures uniform dose distribution during the aeration phase. Maintains formulation integrity through shipping, storage, and the gravity-flow stages of the modular system.

Proprietary formulation

The specific identity, ratios, and processing route of the five-component matrix are proprietary to Veos Pharmaceuticals. Full composition and CMC data are available under executed CDA to qualified partners, integrators, and regulatory reviewers.

A gravity-driven, four-stage system. No electricity required.

OliQuell™ is dosed into a compact, conical HDPE device that operates entirely on gravity and aeration. The system retrofits into existing wastewater plant flow, deploys as a standalone unit in agricultural settings, or operates as an off-grid module in humanitarian and emerging-market deployments.

01

Fill & Mix

Aeration in a conical HDPE funnel. Bubbles suspend solids and activate the OliQuell coagulant matrix.

02

Settle

Sedimentation by gravity. Solids settle out and are removed through the lower drain valve. No mechanical force required.

03

Decant

Clarified water is drawn from the upper outlet. Zero energy consumption at this stage. Standard for most use cases.

04

Carbon Polish (optional)

Final polish through an activated-carbon cartridge for residual clarity and trace removal where required.

Industrial, scientific, governmental — across four continents.

OliQuell™ has progressed from laboratory chemistry to live deployments across three distinct customer archetypes: a Japanese industrial wastewater operator, a Spanish public research institute, and an East African government pilot. Each engagement validates a different segment of the platform's commercial reach.

Industrial POC

Taiho Kogyo Co., Ltd.

Aichi, Japan

System deployment at Taiho Kogyo's wastewater treatment plant. Technical feedback from this industrial customer directly drove the current formulation — a processing-route refinement resolved prior supernatant fouling and is now the production-grade input.

Scientific Collaboration

IMDEA Madrid

Spain · Innovation Voucher Acts 5 & 6

Saline water pre-treatment for reuse: reduced membrane fouling and extended service life on desalination loops. Formal validation underway with the public research institute; peer-reviewed publication in preparation.

Government Pilot

Government of Kenya

East Africa

Field pilot for water and soil detoxification with regional replication potential. Establishes the precedent template for expansion across emerging markets via development-cooperation and multilateral channels — Africa and Latin America the prioritised geographies.

The only input combining every key dimension.

Across the dimensions that matter for industrial, agricultural, and humanitarian deployment, OliQuell™ is the only single-product input that satisfies all criteria — biodegradable, off-grid, broad contaminant removal, low CapEx, zero toxic sludge.

Dimension OliQuell™ Chemical flocculants Reverse osmosis Activated carbon
Biodegradable
Off-grid (no power)
Removes heavy metals partial
Removes microplastics
Low CapEx
No toxic sludge byproduct
OliQuell™ is the only input that combines all six dimensions in a single biodegradable product. No competing technology — synthetic, membrane-based, or adsorbent — closes the same combination.

Three field-ready configurations — validated and replicable.

OliQuell™ deploys in three distinct configurations, each validated through a live engagement. The same bio-catalytic input and modular hardware serve industrial retrofits, agricultural closed-loop reuse, and off-grid humanitarian use without engineering modification.
