Here at Biotank we strive to sell products that are the best of breed. The Biokube system is one such system. Unlike most sewage treatment systems on the market it is similar to the SBR treatment system produced by Balmoral. In order to produce top quality effluent throughout the day in a sewage treatment system you have to even out the flow through the system. This means that the peak times for sewage production of early morning and evening time get evened out through a system that only adds a certain amount of sewage to the treatment tank on a regular basis. This is acheived in the Biokube by having an integral balancing tank from which the effluent from the settlement tank is stored in. It is then pumped into the first treatment tank on a regular basis. This evens out the flow through the Biokube to give a superior treatment level of less than 10 mg/l BOD, 15 mg/l SS and less than 5 mg/l ammonia.
The other factor that affects the level of treatment is the quality of the bacteria that inhabit the tank. These bacteria need to be distributed throughout the treatment tanks. In the Biokube system this is acheived by having fixed biomedia matrices within the treatment tanks. The flow of air bubbles coming up from the aerators continually moves the highly oxygenated water amongst the bacteria held on the biomedia. Any surplus bacteria fall to the bottom of the tank and are recycled on a daily basis back to the Pre-Settlement tank.
A highly efficient system controlled by a microprocessor control system. With up to 4 compressors on the system depending on the number of PE it is designed for. Recycling to enable the system to work during holiday periods.
The main advantage the Biokube system has over other sewage treatment tanks is the two tank system. Septic tanks work very efficiently at removing solids from sewage water. Employing a septic tank as a pre-settlement tank removes the possibility of solids interferring with the treatment process... Nowadays this is very important as anything that can go down a 4" pipe will end up in the treatment system.
All in all a great product for treating sewage.
