BIONEST, A SIMPLE, EFFICIENT AND DURABLE TECHNOLOGY

Bionest wastewater treatment systems offer high performance water purification using a simple, efficient and durable technology.

The BIONEST system is an advanced generation of onsite wastewater treatment systems. It is a biological process consisting of an extended aeration fixed film reactor.

Biomass (good bacteria) develops and firmly attaches to both sides of the BIONEST ribbon shaped polymer media. The high population of bacteria and the support offered by the media for their growth provide the reactor with an outstanding performance level and resistance to hydraulic shock (peak flow).

Unlike activated sludge systems which require daily sludge ‘wasting”, the extended retention time in the BIONEST system minimizes the biological sludge production. The BIONEST system is designed to ensure sufficient opportunity time for the biomass to remove pollutants.

The major portion of the reactor is aerated through linear air pumps and fine bubble diffusers, which provide turbulent conditions to ensure enhanced treatment. Multiple pumps are used to supply air to the reactor allowing for redundancy, thus ensuring continuous treatment even during maintenance or failure of one or more air pumps.

In the remaining portion of the BIONEST reactor, a high level of dissolved oxygen further assists in the oxidation process, in a calmer environment. This calm zone ensures that no solids escape the reactor and that the final effluent is extremely clear. The BIONEST system incorporates a recirculation loop that makes the system a multi-pass process bringing performance to a very high level.

To bring the treated effluent to a reuse quality, the BIONEST system can easily be used in combination with chlorination, UV or ozonation or any other disinfection means.

With such a high quality level of the discharged water, 100% of the treated water can be reused.

Bionest Technology - A Safe, Reliable and Trusted Solution

Bionest technology has been tested and verified by third party entities against protocols recognised in Canada (ETV), the United States (NSF) and Europe (CE Mark) and consistently met and surpassed those standards.

Over 18,000 systems are currently used worldwide in areas not connected to main sewers. Applications include individual houses and villas, residential developments, condominiums, hotels, resorts, golf and country clubs, small to medium sized communities, remote construction, oilfield camps and civil institutions.
