Why use electricity to power a sewage treatment plant?
In nature, sewage pollutants are broken down in a non-aquatic environment, without the use of electricity. This treatment process is fuelled by oxygen in the air. The maximum amount of oxygen that can be dissolved in water is only 14.6mg/litre, wheras air contains 299.05mg/litre oxygen - over 20 times more. This is why the most efficient breakdown of sewage pollutants takes place on and in the aerobic part of the soil, NOT in water.
Why increase your family's Carbon Footprint when you don't need to?
The BIOROCK Filter
BIOROCK, understanding the importance of this fact, designed a dry or terrestrial sewage treatment plant system; one that is rich in oxygen and therefore highly efficient. All other sewage treatment plants are liquid-based. The BIOROCK wastewater plant separates the solids from the water in raw sewage and other household wastes. Conventional sewage treatment plant systems leave the waste in the water to be broken down by electrically pumping vast quantities of air into the liquid effluent in the tank. The BIOROCK wastewater plant filters the pollutants from the water in the dry, oxygen-rich environment of the biofilter, fuelled only by natural air currents.
The BIOROCK sewage treatment plant process uses NO energy. Other sewage treatment plants require a continuous supply of expensive electricity to drive the compressors, pumps, motors and discs that are needed to continually oxygenate liquid based systems. The BIOROCK uses NONE for the sewage treatment plant process.
The BIOROCK sewage treatment plant also has no moving parts to break down or replace. That is why the operating cost of a BIOROCK sewage treatment system is so low.
Septic Tank Conversion and Upgrade
The BIOROCK sewage treatment plant can also be added onto a traditional 2 chamber septic tank or cesspit as a septic tank conversion to a fully certified treatment plant. It has been tested for this application and has the EN 12566-3 2005 Certificate for it, giving a cleaner effluent than most package sewage treatment plants. It is the ideal solution if the problem is a failed soakaway but the septic tank is still in good condition. (It will not follow a Klargester or any other 'onion' shaped septic tank as their effluent quality is too poor.)
The wastewater treatment process has an almost zero carbon footprint.
