BioKube wastewater treatment systems

COMPACT, MODULAR AND EFFICIENT.

Fixed Aerated Submerged BioMembrane

Technology ( FAST ) wastewater systems.

BioKube develops, manufactures and sells systems

for biological cleaning of sewage water using fixed

aerated submerged blocks technology.

Extensive research have been carried out where all

blowers, circulation, volume, optimum thickness of

biological growth / membrane etc in the system are

optimized towards giving the bacteria optimum

living condition, thus maximizing the cleaning

efficiency yet saving the usage of space.

All BioKube system is 100% biological – cleaning of

wastewater using only nature’s existing bacteria

within the wastewater; no foreign or additional

bacteria or enzymes or chemicals are added to the

treatment system.

Many sizes of wastewater systems.

The systems range in size from single household

units (2m3/day) up to systems cleaning 2,000

m3/day. BioKube systems can be delivered fully

configured, to meet the customers’ requirement and

ready to install at customer site.

Protect the environment – recycle and reuse

Treated sewage water can be recycled and reused –

either for irrigation or secondary usage like flushing

of toilets, watering plants, landscaping and cleaning

of general areas etc. This will eliminate the need for

potable water for these activities, which in turn will

give reduction of around 40-45% of water

consumption. End user will lower their water bill,

conserve resources whilst reducing pollution and

play our part in protecting the mother earth.

How do we do it?

1. Inlet of sewage water from manhole or septic

tank.

2. Gray and black water is pumped from buffer

tank into the 1st chamber. Biological degradation of

organic matter by bacteria, then gravitates to the

2nd

chamber.

3. Further removal of organic matter by bacterial

activities. Thinned down water now gravitates into

the third cleaning chamber for ammonia removal.

4. Nitrification of ammonia by bacteria under

aerobic condition. By now water will be having

BOD < 10mg/L COD <50mg/L, equal to Std A.

5. The sludge which settles in each cleaning section

is pumped back into the pre-settlement tank to

remove smell from H2S formation.

6. The treated water is discharged to a collection

tank for secondary usage e.g it can be used for

toilet flushing, irrigation, watering the gardens etc.

It is similar to RAINWATER HARVESTING but with

guaranteed yield – typically 80-85% of sewage

water will be available for reuse.

Single House systems.

BioKube Pluto, Venus and Mars systems

Single house systems.

BioKube small standard systems clean sewage

water for from 5 to 30 persons. We offer small

systems for single houses or bungalows ranging

from 5 PE, 10 PE, 15 PE, 20 PE and 30 PE

systems.

BioKube Pluto (Ø 110cm, H 1400cm 5PE) built

for cleaning requirements of COD < 125 mg/l

and BOD < 25 mg/l is about half the size of a

BioKube Venus (Ø 120cm, H 1900cm 5PE) built

for cleaning requirements of COD < 50 mg/l and

BOD < 10 mg/l.

BioKube systems can fulfill any requirements.

With our modular design all BioKube systems

can be delivered to fulfill any requirements.

These possibilities include only reduction of

organic material, reduction of NH4, reduction of

phosphate, removal of total nitrogen, removal

and elimination of E-coli including use of UV

lighting or Ozone.

We are specialists and we can do it!

BioKube Jupiter and BioReactor systems

( 50 – 10,000 PE ) Plug and Play wastewater systems.

BioKube systems for are delivered completely

ready to install. Connect the pipes and power and

the system is in operation. System can be install

above ground or underground.

50% reduction of land requirement compared to

conventional STP

Compared to similar-sized conventional STP, less

land is needed to built the Jupiter system. For

example, a 600PE system requiring less than

400sq meter (including setback).

Low on maintenance and operation cost.

One of the big advantages of a BioKube system is

that it is very maintenance-friendly. There are

few mechanical parts that can fail and they are all

delivered from first class manufacturer

guaranteeing long service life.

Remote surveillance via GSM.

BioKube systems can be

equipped with remote

surveillance over the GSM

network. And the systems

can be delivered with

double water pumps and

air blowers that run

alternatively. They can be

reset over the GSM

network if one pump or

blower fails so the system

runs on only one. This

gives a very high rate of

stability.

Modular design

Being modular, it can be arranged and organized

to fit the odd land area, thus maximizing space

for other prime and valuable development.

BioKube systems - BioReactor. Large systems as Plug and Play.

BioKube also offers our largest systems as “plug

and play” waste water plant solutions.

These systems are delivered with only the

active cleaning units whilst other components

are built on-site.

Keeping the total cost down.

Since the cleaning of sewage water with the

BioKube-system is performed by natural

bacteria living on submerged aerated filters (the

BioBlocks) it is much more cost-effective to

deliver only the active cleaning unit (the

BioReactors) and install these in RC tank.

With BioKube BioReactor systems, you also

to the maximum extent use labor. This keeps

the total cost down.

How big a system can you buy?

The necessary size of the tanks is roughly

twice the size of the daily amount of sewage

water to be cleaned. This volume allows 36

hours retention time for the sewage water in

the cleaning unit plus room for the pre-cleaning

unit and the necessary sludge handling system.

The biggest BioReactor BioKube deliver is the

BioReactor 150. Each of these units will clean

150 m3 / day. How many BioReactors you need

depends on the amount of wastewater and the

cleaning requirements. We are happy to discuss

your exact requirement.
