Here you can find out more about the world's first biological wastewater treatment system where the process takes place entirely inside a series of pipes
What is Biopipe
Biopipe is a compact, eco friendly, and cost-effective onsite wastewater treatment system with standout features like no sludge production, low energy usage, modular scalability and low footprint. Backed by global case studies and patented technology, it suits buildings of any size that aim to meet strict effluent standards with a decentralised low cost solution.
Revolutionary biological wastewater treatment system
Biopipe is a sustainable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective wastewater treatment solution that is protected by patents and proprietary processes.
Years of research and development have made it a widely acknowledged system for a range of applications, including detached houses, commercial and multi-family buildings, hotels, hospitals, and industrial complexes.
With its small footprint and scalability, Biopipe can be installed wherever wastewater is generated, regardless of the size or capacity needed.
How it works
​​​​1) A sewage water tank is used to store the inorganic waste and wastewater (gray and black water)
​
2) Circulation pump separate the organic materials and to propel water into Biopipe
​
3) Biopipe bacteria engages with pollutants and eliminates them from wastewater. Air is automatically vacuumed in by the pressure difference to create ideal ambient condition for rapid growth of bacteria and accelerate aerobic digestion
​
4) Wastewater then passes through a cartridge filter or equivalent and a UV filter to complete the treatment. The treated water can then be used directly or stored in a clean water tank
Biopipe - one of the kind
Modular compact design, scalable, small footprint, fast & easy installation, treatment entirely in a series of pipes, 100% of effluent is reusable - no sludge, no sound, no odour
Biopipe Advantages
No sludge
Unlike other traditional wastewater systems Biopipe produces no sludge
No odour
The treatment process takes place entirely inside a series of pipes and does not produce sludge hence eliminating odour
No sound
The treatment plant doesn't require moving mechanical parts and motors that make the process virtually silent
No chemicals
No chemicals are required to operate the Biopipe biological wastewater treatment system
Scalability
Biopipe is very simple LEGO-like construction that allows very compact design that can be scaled up or down to accommodate different treatment capacities
Small footprint
Biopipe doesn't need much space and can be easily installed in a basement, attic, shed, hallways, on an elevated structure or on a rooftop
Low energy consumption
Biopipe brings energy consumption to a minimum because it stores wastewater in a horizontal position that better distributes water pressure and requires less energy when compared to other systems which use vertical tanks
Flexible and modular design
Biopipe can treat wastewater generated by a single house of two people to a small city - just as efficiently. Unlike other systems, Biopipe can operate at only 10% capacity
Easy and fast assembly
Biopipe plants are delivered to customers as pre-assembled, containerised or plug and play units. The size of the modules is based on the requirements of each project and can be assembled contiguously or consecutively in a short time span
Cost efficiency
Low energy consumption due to horizontal water tanks and as no blowers involved for air intake; only specially made PVC pipes are used not various hardware parts and materials, very low maintenance cost
Low O&M cost
Biopipe doesn't need constant maintenance besides cleaning cartridge filter with water
Fully automated
Biopipe is fully automated and can be remotely monitored and controlled
Very efficient
Unlike other systems, 100% of treated wastewater can be reused for various applications and it works at only 10% capacity
Financially viable
Payback time of completed projects has been between 2.5-3.5 years (varies and depends on
circumstances)
High quality effluent
Treated wastewater quality exceeds EU standards
Eco-friendly
Biopipe has helped many companies to get LEED certification for using eco friendly and efficient waste water treatment system.
