About BioChem Technology

Who We Are

A controls company focused on the efficient and effective treatment of wastewater β€” going beyond the mechanics to focus on the biological aspect of treatment, while taking into account all of the inherent complexities.

Who We Are

BioChem is a controls company focused on the efficient and effective treatment of wastewater. We go beyond the mechanics to focus on the biological aspect of treatment, while taking into account all of the inherent complexities.

We provide highly automated, sophisticated but user-friendly control strategies to deliver unparalleled levels of performance, precise control, energy efficiency, and peace of mind.

BioChem Technology, Inc. (BCT) was founded in 1977 in Philadelphia and is a pioneer in biological process optimization and aeration control for wastewater treatment. In 2022, GL-Turbo acquired all assets of BCT, including its intellectual properties and customer relationships, and continues to develop and support BCT's industry-leading BACS and BIOS technologies.
