Wastewater Processing Odor Control

Gross-Wen Technologies (GWT) got its start in 2014 while Dr. Martin Gross was working with his professor, Dr. Zhiyou Wenat, at Iowa State University. The two discovered a ground-breaking, effective, economical and reliable method for the treatment of municipal wastewater. GWT’s patented Revolving Algae Biofilm (RAB™) technology utilizes vertical conveyor belts on which algae grow. The algae remove nitrogen and phosphorous from the wastewater by feeding on it. Using sunlight and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the algae rapidly grow until they can be harvested. GWT processes already-treated wastewater from the City of Slater with the RAB™ operation.
