Clyra Medical
Clyra Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Clyra”) is developing disruptive products featuring the BioLargo technology in the medical industry. Initial product designs focus in the “advanced wound care” field, which includes traumatic injury, diabetic ulcers, and chronic hard-to-heal wounds. Updates for Clyra include:

Advanced Oxidation System (AOS) :
The AOS is a water treatment device that eliminates pathogenic organisms and organic contaminants with extreme efficacy while consuming very little electricity. It is designed to be the final step in a water treatment system and is less expensive to operate and faster than current treatment technologies (UV and ozone). Prominent highlights include:
- A pilot project commencing this fall will use the AOS to treat poultry wastewater on-site at a poultry producer’s facility in Alberta, Canada.
- The pilot project commencing this fall will use the AOS to treat wastewater at a California brewery.
- Its Canadian subsidiary recently applied for significant grant funding to re-initiate work to help treat Oil Sands Produced Waters and other oil and gas wastewaters using the AOS. The company will be notified about the status of this funding application in the coming months.
- Work is continually progressing to support a number of commercial applications, with a key focus on wastewater treatment, food processing, agriculture, and oil and gas. The company is in the early stages of evaluating opportunities in the storm drain recapture/recycling and drinking water arenas.
- To support the planned pilots for the AOS, BioLargo Water has secured public funding from the Government of Canada, including a CA$235,000 grant from the Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) to fund its first on-site pilot project in the Canadian poultry industry. The company also submitted and are currently submitting applications for a series of substantial government grants (totaling more than $4M USD) to fund its development and piloting efforts in wastewater, food processing and oil and gas applications.
- The company’s engineering team in Tennessee is actively preparing a process engineering package for the AOS system.
Dennis P. Calvert, President of BioLargo, commented, “The company is poised to take advantage of what we believe are multiple commercial growth opportunities with massive market potential. We are more prepared than ever before to leverage our considerable technology portfolio and human know-how to grow our business. Our team is excited and ready for the challenges ahead.”
