2 A river is capable of purifying itself We all have seen a river with crystal-clear water But how does this biological process work? The principle How does water purification work? Example of a small river, where the existing rocks provide the necessary oxygen to purify the passing water The rocks on the bottom of the river are constantly overflown by the water current A thin layer of biological film is built up on these rocks This biofilm attaches firmly to the stones, so that it can not be washed away To be able to purify the passing water, it is from the outmost importance that oxygen is available The natural movements of the water, caused by the obstacles in the river, allow a swift and optimal absorption of oxygen The bacteria inside the biofilm feed from the polluted parts when the water flows over the rocks and stones This perfect example of natural collaboration results in a purification process that provides crystal-clear water Inspired by this biological example from nature, ecobeton water technologies succeeded in matching this purification process The use of a carrier material inside the bioreactor of the treatment plant provides a possibility for the bacteria, that are already present in the wastewater, to attach and form a biofilm The swirling movement of the water in the bioreactor ensures a constant and optimal contact between the micro-organisms on the carrier material ( Picobells ) and the foul flow These Picobells have a spherical shape, with built in lamella on the inside, where the biofilm can attach in a safe and durable way This surface provides a reliable protection against washing away of the biofilm and ensures the optimal circumstances for the purifying process The specific surface and the design itself of the carrier material makes it possible that a larger amount of organisms can settle in the same volume This results in a compact package plant with a smaller footprint, needing less space than most treatment systems

enables the wastewater treatment system to remove both carbon and nitrogen The Picobells have a diameter of about 3,5 cm and have a surface increase of 450 m²/m³ The biofilm is formed in a double

3 learned from nature Picobells Why arepicobells so special? The carrier material, named Picobells, is designed in that way that it forms the ideal housing for the bacteria to grow on, where they can attach firmly and safely They form a performant biofilm that enables the wastewater treatment system to remove both carbon and nitrogen The Picobells have a diameter of about 3,5 cm and have a surface increase of 450 m²/m³ The biofilm is formed in a double layer Thanks to alternating aeration (bringing the necessary oxygen into the system) this biological system is able to realize both nitrification as well as denitrification The result of this biological process is that the existent nitrogen in the wastewater is converted into nitrogen gas, so that the nitrogen itself is mostly removed from the water Nitrificatie (zuurstofverbruik) Denitrificatie (nitraatverbruik) Nitrification and denitrification in the double layer biofilm ensure a strong nitrogen removal - Using the technology with the floating vortex bed, the Ecopure wastewater treatment system achieves purification results that are far more performant than the requirements of the CE EN specifications What s more; this robust installation is perfectly capable of handling peak moments: an installation of 5 PE can handle peak loads up to 10 PE! Parameter Unit Results Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD 5 ) Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Suspended Solids (SS) Ammonium-Nitrogen (NH 4 -N) ph value mg/l 13 mg/l 65 mg/l 13 mg/l 4,7 Nitrogen total (N tot ) mg/l 19 Phosphorus total (P tot ) mg/l 4,1 6, % test: after the normal 38 weeks test this installation was successfully tested during an additional 4 weeks with an influent load of 200%! This means that a system of 5 PE is able to handle the wastewater of a 10 PE, keeping the same purification results and without any changes in the concept! The test results show: Better purification results than EN requirements A very strong removal of COD, BOD, SS and nitrogen

4 Ecopure Comfort Self cleaning: Self cleaning up to 10 PE in one tank! The biofilm on the Picobells carrier material is in a constant and perfect contact with the foul flow and is provided with the vital oxygen by an alternating aeration Water cleaning The swirling effect of the Picobells ensures an optimal contact between the water and the micro-organisms By touching and moving all the time they produce an self cleaning effect, which prevents an uncontrolled growth of the biofilm Ancient and dead biofilm is removed by the permanent friction and allows a new generation to take its place This constantly renewed process ensures a continuous cleaning procedure Low operation cost: the floating vortex bed Ecopure Comfort synthetic tank brilliantly simple - Desludging can cost the end client up to 75 ³/m³, according to the contracting company A classic activated sludge system generates a sludge production of about 700 Litre per person per year Using our Ecopure installation with the Picobells, sludge production is reduced to about 170 Litre per person per year For a family of 4 people, desludging costs drop from 210 to about 50 per year because of the less frequent need for desludging Furthermore, the installation does not have to be opened to clean the carrier material, since it is self-cleaning An obvious gain of time, cost and effort Sludge production Liter/PE/Year natural sludge production sludge production active sludge system standard fixed bed installation floating vortex bed Sludge production using the floating vortex bed: Is about 75% less compared to an active sludge system Is about 50% less compared to a standard fixed bed installation

The grey (shower, sink, ) and black water ( toilets ) of the house are conducted to this compartment This is where the heavy sediment parts can settle down and liquefy From here on, the gravitary system ensures that the wastewater is sent to the bioreactor Bioreactor This is where the Picobells are situated, where the bacteria can grow on to form the biofilm These Picobells are lighter than water because of their specific gravity Therefore they will constantly float right under the surface and keep swirling around under aeration sequence 3 Aeration Air and oxygen is administered through the membrane aeration tube, situated on the bottom of the bioreactor This tube can easily be removed through the loose Picobells the carrier material Aeration, a vital element for the bacteria to be able to develop and grow, is intermittent and is controlled by the electronic control system 4 Airlift and post-settlement The airlift (sludge-return) ensures a re-circulation of the settled sludge on the bottom and conducts it back to the pre-settlement compartment where it is integrated again in the purification process 5 Outlet The purified wastewater leaves the wastewater treatment system and is returned to the warm and natural embrace of the environment
