Non-Electric waste water treatment plants for domestic waste water

BIOROCK was established in 1988 and is now an internationally acclaimed and experienced company and
industry leading in compact wastewater treatment technology. BIOROCK systems have already been installed
worldwide in the past 25 years. Our proven performance leads to trust of both the users of our technology
and our supplier’s network, which is the basis of our success.

The BIOROCK
®

Non-Electric treatment process

Initially the raw sewage (A) enters a primary tank (PT, B) to provide separation and the
breakdown of organic solids (Primary Treatment). The sewage then passes through an
effluent filter before discharging into the BIOROCK® unit which incorporates the well
proven aerobic digestion process (Secondary Treatment) and filtration process (Tertiary
Treatment).

BIOROCK uses a material with huge surface area which allows colonization of the
necessary bacteria, a process which is essential for the effective treatment of domestic
wastewater.
Most suitable for sloped sites discharging
direct to a gravity effluent disposal The BIOROCK media is highly resistant to degradation and remains extremely stable
system. over the long term - our 25 years’ experience in the industry being proof of this.

• Very Stable Inorganic material - does not break down over time, unlike “organic” media
• Requires little maintenance – scraping and scarification is not necessary, unlike for
organic media
• The Structure and Composition ensures unsurpassed and unique surface treatment
with exceptional purification results
• Ecological material, locally produced and recyclable

BIOROCK offers a much more efficient and ecological wastewater treatment

process compared to traditional techniques that are very high in maintenance
and energy consumption.

BIOROCK offers 2 discharge options :

1. BIOROCK gravity discharge
2. BIOROCK high-level discharge
Most suitable for level sites discharging
For the high level pump discharge system we supply a clip-on pump
direct to a pressurised disposal
station. We can supply a discharge pump and controller if required.
system, drainage field or raised bed.

Installation for all type of ground

conditions and applications.
• High ground-water sites.
• Reinforced and durable, the BIOROCK units and Primary
tanks are reinforced as standard enabling them to be
