Why septic tank "Bioxy" is good: an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of these cleaning systems

The treatment plant “Bioxy” septic tank is a part of the autonomous sewage of summer residences, country houses, cottage villages, recreation centers — that is, any residential buildings located far from the central sewer system.

Purpose and types of equipment "Bioxy"

In an aeration tank (septic tank), sewage is enriched with oxygen from the air, as a result of which aerobic bacteria oxidize water pollution, making the water clean and suitable for irrigation or car washing. An unpleasant odor disappears with dirt and waste during cleaning.

The process of aerobic “filtration” is similar to purification of water in a river, where oxygen actively influences the liquid, and the pollution occurs in the form of silt. The polluted water treatment rate, which is guaranteed by the bioxy septic tank, is quite high - about 98%.

The septic tank "Bioxy" resembles a regular refrigerator in shape and is compact in size

A big advantage of Bioxy systems is the ability to select models depending on their location underground, as well as on the service conditions of a certain number of people.

One indicator is pipe depth. Depending on it, the treatment plant "Bioxy" is divided into 3 types:

• "Bioxy": the depth of the pipeline - up to 90 cm;
• "Bioxy Long": 90 - 140 cm;
• "Bioxy Super Long": more than 140 cm.

Also, the choice of autonomous sewage depends on the number of people living in the house. For example, for a family of 3 people, the “Bioxy - 0.6” model is enough, out of 5 - “Bioxy - 1”. If a company of 20 people often gathers in the house, the best option is Bioxy-4. To service the cottage villages, models are provided that can serve up to several tens of people. For example, the septic tank "Bioxy - 15" is designed for 75 people, and "Bioxy - 20" - for 100 people.

Description of the cleaning technology used

Bioseptics are fundamentally different from simple cesspools and storage septic tanks (with a filtration field) in that they are not a storage, but a biological cleaning system - and this is their huge advantage.

The technology of biological wastewater treatment is complicated only at first glance. The main functional component is activated sludge, which is involved in the processing of polluted waters. Four phases of exposure to activated sludge are distinguished:

1. Organic biosorption. Duration - no more than 30 minutes. The biomass of sludge increases, the amount of pollution decreases sharply.
2. The oxidation of organic matter. Decarbonization of wastewater occurs - the oxidation of substances containing carbohydrates under aerobic conditions. The concentration of contaminants continues to decrease, the mass of activated sludge increases. The process lasts about 1 hour.
3. Synthesis of the cellular substance of sludge. The organic substances remaining in the wastewater are recycled using energy released in phase 2. The duration of the period is about 20 hours.
4. Endogenous oxidation of activated sludge.At this stage, the sludge biomass decreases. The process lasts for 2-3 days. The least degradable fats break down.

Thus, the entire process of wastewater treatment takes about 3-4 days.

Advantages of septic tanks of this company

It is not surprising that the Bioxy treatment plant has become popular: the list of their advantages is quite large:

• full degree of purification of polluted waters;
• power is supplied from the electric network (low power consumption - up to 20 W per person), additional batteries are not required;
• lack of extraneous odors;
• the possibility of installation in small summer cottages, additional filtering trenches are not needed;
• auto control over the sludge level, allowing only 2-4 times a year to discharge it;
• easy installation of a sewage treatment plant that does not require concreting (the propylene septic tank has a thickness of up to 80 mm);
• metal parts subject to corrosion are absent in the core;
• automatic flushing system facilitates maintenance;
• systems with a capacity of up to 3m³ do not require maintenance with a sewage machine;

a Japan-made Hiblow compressor (or German Becker) guarantees low noise.

To install the septic tank "Bioxy" on the site, you need to allocate a small area of ​​the free territory

Separately, it should be said about the benefits of maintenance. Typically, care for the construction is remembered after 3 months, when there is a need for pumping sludge. For its removal, only an air pump is needed. You can clean less frequently, once every six months - but already with the help of an electric pump. At the same time clean the walls of the sump. Once every two years, the compressor membranes should be replaced. Once every five years, the secondary chamber and surge tank are cleaned of mineral deposits - only if necessary. Every 10 years, the parts responsible for aeration are changed, but only if they are damaged. Thus, maintenance of septic tanks is rare, and this saves time.

Identified equipment deficiencies

It is difficult to find drawbacks at the Bioxy septic tanks - they surpass all Russian analogues in their quality of wastewater treatment. Moreover, the buildings passed special tests under the supervision of the Research Institute of Ecology of Man and Environmental Hygiene named after Sysina, have permits. But there are nuances that should be considered:

• It is necessary to regulate the amount of drains from washing machines. In the presence of fecal runoff, the system copes well with the drain from dishwashers and washing machines, but it is not recommended to use the building specifically for laundry - there is not enough activated sludge.
• During seasonal operation of the systems, special preparation for winter is required. It depends on whether the equipment will be disconnected from the mains. When the network is running, there will be small costs for electricity (about 50 rubles per month for "Bioxy - 5"). When disconnected, water should be pumped out, equipment should be insulated, and in spring it will have to be put back into operation.

• To connect two objects to the system (for example, a house and a bath), you should initially connect both pipelines into one.
• In the presence of clay soil, treated water should not be diverted to an absorption well, but to a storm sewer.
• During a power outage, the installation works without additional cleaning, that is, like a normal septic tank.

At the request of the SES, the distance from the treatment plant to the house should be at least 5 meters.

The diagram clearly shows how you can use the septic tank "Bioxy" for watering a lawn or beds

As you can see, the above items cannot be called disadvantages, these are just the features of the equipment that you should pay attention to. The treatment plant "Bioxy" is fully adapted to the climatic conditions of Russia, carefully tested and able to serve for decades.Given their environmental focus, we can say that septic tanks such as Bioksi have a future for treatment plants.
