The alarm bells sounding over discarded pharmaceuticals reaching public water supplies could prove golden for a local startup company.
Since its founding in 2005, BioIonix, with just a handful of employees, has been quietly working on using electrical current to kill bacteria and other
contaminants in various types of liquid waste.
So far, the BioIonix research has focused on treating municipal sewage, cooling water for food processing or other industrial purposes. The firm has already teamed with the village of Jackson outside Milwaukee on sewage sludge and Alkar-RapidPak of Lodi on meat packing equipment.
