Advantages of the BIOCOS Process

BIOCOS 2 line system in Germany

The BIOCOS® process is a simple and effective further development of the classical activated sludge process and the SBR technology. The standard activated sludge concept with final clarification tanks, plus scraper, sludge pumps and piping is replaced in the BIOCOS® process by a simple continual operation involving (circulation, settlement, distillation) to SU tanks.

 

Special Advantages of the Process

Reliable process Technology

  • simple to control substance reorganization
  • high standard of reliability
  • high level of operational reserve
  • high level of purification also with small units
  • low level sludge index readings
  • simple to use

Ideal for separate sewer & combined sewerage

  • Ideal for separate sewer & combined sewerage
  • continual in and out flow excluding overflow & compensation tanks
  • parallel problem free operation of more units on a single site
  • solids content up to 8 g/l of activated sludge
  • ideal solution to the extension of existing plants and producing a higher level of water purity and cleansing

Operations

  • turn-key contracts
  • scraper of final clarification tank & sludge pumping are not required
  • proven, reliable mechanical & electronic equipment (accepted market technology)
  • low energy technology (aeration) with economic electricity requirement
  • robust control system and measurement technology
  • automatic operation via SPC

Constructional Advantages

  • economical constructional solutions (minimal construction & piping)
  • distribution control, pillar of the scraper & recirculation piping not required
  • minimal sub surface construction is possible ( compatible for residential locations)
  • minimal hard standing and built areas

Economic Advantages

  • lower development costs by comparison with alternative methods, plus restricted construction elements and less equipment
  • lower operating costs (energy, personal, maintenance and repair)
  • economic extension opportunities
  • lowering of waste water removal due to efficient design; speedier ROI
