Sewage Filtration And Water Treatment

Interesting new water treatment technology that has been patented in the UK. According to the press release, the process would not produce practically any sludge at all.

BioShaft is a green innovative wastewater treatment technology based on Bio-Filtration utilizing biomass carriers. These plants are made using the BioShaft Turbo Reactor that is at the heart of the wastewater technology. The plants have many benefits over traditional wastewater treatment, including the virtual elimination of sludge and odors and requires significantly less land. It is patented in the UK and the patent is pending in the United States. To date there are more than 30 waste water treatment plants throughout the world using this technology.

“The unique BioShaft fixed film process virtually eliminates sludge. Bioshaft is a biological treatment process that uses thousands of special carriers designed to create a large surface area for biofilm growth. This enhances the wastewater treatment process while reducing the footprint of the plant. By collecting and reintroducing this biofilm in to the process again, it allows us to virtually eliminate sludge!”
