ECOROCK-5000

ECOROCK-5000
Small Sewage Treatment Plant for 30 persons

The ECOROCK-5000 is a compact wastewater treatment unit for up to 30 persons (P.E.) (*).

Larger capacities: BIOROCK MULTIROCK systems

If the ECOROCK-5000 units are installed parallel they can cater for 60, 90, 120, 150 (P.E.) and so on.

The ECOROCK-5000 units can be installed in parallel after a primary tank. Following the Primary tank is a “Flow Control Chamber” (FCC) and a Splitter-Box System (SB). The FCC acts as a ‘header tank’ to provide a surge of flow through the SB and guarantees equal flow to each of the BIOROCK units. Multiple SB’s are used when it is required to split the flow in the case where more than 3 Units are installed in parallel.

Two-stages Sewage Treatment Plant

The ECOROCK-5000 residential sewage treatment plant are designed for a 30 persons domestic application.

The BIOROCK system functions as a two-stages wastewater treatment plant. The raw sewage first enters a Primary tank to provide pre-separation and initial breakdown of organic solids. The sewage then passes through an effluent filter before discharging into the BIOROCK unit itself which incorporates the aerobic filtration process.

Where required the ECOROCK-5000 can be retrofitted to a traditional septic tank.

(*) Depending on effluent quality requirements it is in some cases possible to cater for more than the official amount of persons (P.E.) per unit.

Biological treatment

This later stage of the process is defined by layers of BIOROCK media. The BIOROCK media is pretreated with enzymes in order to achieve rapid start up and to stimulate the growth of the correct bacteria type; these bacteria colonize the media in vast numbers and rapidly digest the organic waste. The treatment philosophy has been developed around a combination of aerobic/anoxic biological degradation and filtration. The BIOROCK technology advantage is further characterized by - minimal maintenance requirements & ability to handle intermittent (seasonal) loadings. (E.g. Holiday homes, Safari Lodges, Camping Sites, etc.)
