  • Biopipe Solution

Biopipe is the world's first biological wastewater treatment system where the process takes place entirely inside a series of pipes.

Biopipe is protected by patents and proprietary processes. Since its introduction, it has been very well received and widely acknowledged. Years of research and development has produced one of the most sustainable, eco-friendly and cost effective wastewater treatment solutions in the world.

Biopipe can be used in detached houses, commercial and multi-family buildings, hotels, hospitals, industrial complexes, campgrounds and parks.

With its small footprint and scalability, Biopipe can be installed wherever wastewater is generated, regardless of size and capacity.

World's first biological wastewater treatment system

Its the result of years of research that has now developed into one of the most sustainable, eco-friendly and cost effective wastewater treatment solutions in the world.

How it works

Unlike other traditional wastewater systems Biopipe produce NO SLUDGE, NO ODOUR, NO SOUND AND NO WASTE. Biopipe brings energy consumption to a minimum as it can store wastewater in a horizontal position which better distributes water pressure and require less energy as compared to other systems, which can only use vertical pipes.

1) A sewage water tank is used to store the inorganic waste and wastewater (gray and black water).

2) Circulation pump separate the organic materials and to propel water into Biopipe.

3) Biopipe bacteria engages with pollutants and eliminates them from wastewater. Air is automatically vacuumed in by the pressure difference to create ideal ambient condition for rapid growth of bacteria and accelerateaerobic digestion

4) Wastewater then passes through a cartridge filter or equivalent and a UV filter to complete the treatment. The treated water can then be used directly or stored in a clean water tank.

Biopipe advantages

It is the result of years of R&D that has produced one of the most sustainable, eco-friendly and cost-effective wastewater treatment solutions in the world.

Eco Friendly

  • Unlike other traditional wastewater systems Biopipe produces NO SLUDGE, NO ODOUR, NO SOUND AND NO WASTE.
  • NO CHEMICALS are required to operate the Biopipe biological wastewater treatment system.

Scalable with a flexible modular design

  • Biopipe can treat wastewater generated by a single house of two people to a small city - just as efficiently.
  • Unlike other systems, which require a starting operational capacity of 80%, Biopipe can operate at only 10% capacity.
  • Biopipe is a simple Lego-like modular construction. The size of the modules is based on the requirements of each project and can be assembled contiguously or consecutively in a short time span.
  • The system is compact, easy to transport, install and operate.

Cost efficient

  • Biopipe brings energy consumption to a minimum because it stores wastewater in a horizontal position that better distributes water pressure and requires less energy when compared to other systems which use vertical tanks.
  • No blowers involved for air intake, which reduces energy consumption.
  • Unlike other wastewater treatment systems, Biopipe only uses specially made PVC pipes and is not made of different hardware and materials, which result in higher costs.
  • Biopipe doesn't need a lot of space and can be easily installed in a basement, on an elevated structure or on a rooftop which saves the cost of land/real estate.

Fully automated

  • Biopipe is fully automated and can be remotely monitored and controlled.

Sustainable

  • Biopipe will operate efficiently for the life of the plant with proper maintenance

FAQ

Biopipe is a domestic wastewater and water recycling system. Biopipe’s system consists of a tank and pipe modules. Biopipe’s treated wastewater is available to be reused which reduces water cost. Biopipe is a modular system that can be used in every type of domestic wastewater generated, from residential and commercial buildings to large scale community sewage treatment plants.
Biopipe’s design is modular and easy to install. Modules allow the system to be installed for projects ranging from 3 people to 10,000 people and placed horizontally or vertically.
The Biopipe system requires (1) untreated wastewater holding tank and (1) treated water tank, if water is being reused. Biopipe’s versatility allows for the reuse of the existing septic tank as wastewater holding tank before waste water enters the Biopipe system. Unlike septic tanks that only offer primary sewage treatment, Biopipe’s system offers a complete system with only clean greywater as output. Biopipe’s treated wastewater can be connected to city sewers or reused for various purposes. Please reach out to your country’s representatives for appropriate reuse applications in your country.
Biopipe can be installed in both new and existing facilities. We kindly advise you to contact us during the construction planning stage, so we can incorporate the Biopipe system into your design.
Organic wastewater and solids are pumped into the Biopipe system where a proprietary blend of bacteria treats the wastewater into clear water. As in any other sewage treatment plant, we recommend minimizing the amount of inorganic solid wastes dumped into the system (i.e., plastic, plastic bags, etc.). This will significantly reduce the frequency of cleansing bar screen and filter.
Biopipe is the only NO sludge, biological wastewater treatment system available. Biopipe’s user friendly design keeps maintenance easy and minimal while also keeping energy consumption low.
Treated wastewater by Biopipe can easily be discharged to the sewer, ground or street. Discharging to the ground helps replenish the subterranean water supply, helping keep our groundwater clean and abundant.
Biopipe treats wastewater to worldwide irrigation standards and in some countries, it can be reused non potable usage. Please reach out to your country’s representatives for appropriate reuse applications in your country.
Our components carry a 1 year warranty against any material defect other than frequent backwash of cartridge filter . Biopipe system should be checked by an expert once a year to ensure proper functioning. We provide a lifetime guarantee with a separate yearly maintenance agreement.
No. Treated wastewater should not be reused for drinking at this time. Keep following us on social media for updates when this might be available.
No. The odor from sewage treatment plants comes from the production of sludge. The self contained Biopipe is not an activated sludge system but uses a biological process and no odor is produced.
