Wayne what is OxyMem?

Oxymem has developed a breakthrough solution for waste water treatment, which really hasn’t changed that much in the past 100 years. Essentially what happens currently in waste water treatment around the world is that they bring together waste water and break down using organisms and oxygen using bubbles. Waste water is the food source and it is broken down by bacteria/organisms in the presence of oxygen, which is delivered through forced aeration, the bubbles.
