At PRD Tech, we are committed to be the technology leaders in promoting a cleaner environment, by providing innovative solutions to the industries that are meaningful, cheaper, smarter, cost effective, and technologically feasible. Our main goal is to enable the ease of implementation of environmental control technologies, that will also allow the industries maintain their profitable operations.

PRD Tech Inc. is a company founded in 1996 and incorporated in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and in 2004 in the state of Ohio. We are conveniently located in the Greater Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky metropolitan area. PRD Tech's specialty is in the design/build and installation of biotrickling filters for treatment of odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and in advanced wastewater and drinking water treatment systems. The applications range from municipal sewage/wastewater treatment systems to a wide spectrum of several other industrial processes and manufacturing operations listed below under our areas of expertise.

The biotrickling filter technology for odor/VOC control has improved substantially in the past decade. Biotrickling filters are gaining fast recognition as the most economical, "bottom-line", and effective means of controlling odorous and VOC emissions for the industries, better known as the "Technology of the 21st Century"! Compared to thermal oxidation (catalytic, regenerative), which generates nitrogen oxides (NOx) and has high operating costs due to consumption of natural gas, the biotrickling filter is environmentally friendly which does not generate by-products, such as Nitrogen oxides (NOx), operates at ambient temperature and pressure, and has low investment and operating costs.

Biotrickling filter technology offered by PRD Tech is unique, very effective in biologically treating emissions of volatile organics and is offered on a turnkey basis to industries, wastewater treatment plants, and consulting companies. In addition, we have pioneered unique biocatalysts that can be used to accelerate treatment rates in bioscrubbers. PRD Tech has performance data on using their media for ammonia, organics, hydrogen sulfide, and reduced sulfur compounds.

PRD Tech has successfully completed turnkey installations of odor control systems for wastewater treatment. These include stand-alone systems as well as retrofitting existing water (hypochlorite) scrubbers in-situ to PRD Tech biofilters, thereby realizing tremendous savings to the client in both capital equipment and annual operating (energy) costs.

Advanced wastewater and water treatment systems includes cost-effective processes for treating ammonia in wastewater, treating wastewater using a synergistic combination of biological and physical/chemical approaches and membrane degassing of volatile compounds, such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, VOCs from wastewater and drinking water. Last year, PRD Tech designed and installed a biological treatment system for treating high levels of ammonia in wastewater from a biosolids treatment facility. PRD Tech, Inc. has also pioneered a unique membrane degassing system that can effectively remove ammonia from wastewater, wherein issues of membrane fouling and need for wastewater pre-treatment can be avoided completely. Currently, PRD Tech, Inc. has developed wastewater treatment systems for fracking operations, wastewater from tar sands operations and other oil-field related activities.

PRD Tech's areas of expertise include: (1) Biofilter system for treating odors and VOC emissions for municipal, industrial (bakeries, smokehouse gases, food industry segments, pulp & paper, printing, painting booths, and virtually most industrial processes that have VOC emission problems; (2) Development of unique biocatalysts, such as "BIO-SPEEDUP", which can accelerate biodegradation rates in water and soils for groundwater cleanup soil/sediment bioremediation applications (refer to case studies section); (3) Biotreatment and recovery of metals from acid mine drainage; (4) Effective use of membranes for separation and biotreatment of contaminants; (5) processes for treatment of wastewaters from fracking, tar sands and oil-field related activities; and (6) treatment of wastewaters with very high salinity.
