BioCycle is a 4 stage miniaturised waste water system in one tank. It accepts all the wastewater from your dwelling, processes the effluent to a high standard then automatically disposes of it into an ornamental garden. It is designed to cater for 6-8 people in permanent residence.
The reinforced concrete tank is divided into 2 large compartments and 2 small ones. The compartments function is detailed below:
- The first compartment is in effect the first chamber of a septic tank and uses anaerobic bacteria to break down the solids. The effluent enters the second chamber via a controlled flow device. This evens out the flow to some extent, for example: when a bath is discharged.
- The second large compartment has air forced into the bottom of the tank by the blower. This operation converts the bacteria to aerobic. There is a quantity of ‘media’ installed for the bacteria to grow on. The aerobic bacteria chew up the remaining solids the septic bacteria can’t remove. The effluent is discharged into the first small chamber (clarification chamber).
- Before the now clean effluent enters the pump chamber, it passes around special chlorine tablets. (If the effluent is to be disposed of in ground then chlorine is not needed). The pump is operated via a float switch to pump the effluent through piping then out through sprays and drippers.
Note: 50m of irrigation line with sprays are supplied as standard equipment but we design sophisticated irrigation systems to suit your application. Alternatives are ‘in ground’ irrigation; above ground dripper lines or automatic line change either as each pump starts or after about 4 minutes of pumping.
