Over the last 50 years there has not been any significant change in wastewater treatment methods. A major byproduct of today’s widely utilized conventional wastewater treatment methods is sludge. There are many ways to dispose of sludge however these methods get quite expensive and time consuming. The patented BioShaft system's attached growth process results in the virtual elimination of sludge. This means no extensive sludge equipment to purchase or maintain. The BioShaft has many other unique benefits over conventional wastewater treatment as well.

Sewage Treatment
Sewage treatment consists of 3 phases. Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary phases. The innovative BioShaft patent revolutionizes how the secondary treatment is acheived.

1. Primary Treatment In primary treatment, sand, grit, and the larger solids in the wastewater are easily collected and separated from the liquid. Primary treatment removes the materials that can be easily collected and disposed of.

2. Secondary Secondary treatment is designed to substantially degrade the biological content of the sewage such as are derived from human waste, food waste, soaps and detergent. Traditional secondary treatment is done through extended aeration treatment or using Membrane technologies. However these technologies result in a list of issues that translate into higher cost. The superiority of BioShaft to traditional sewage treatment is most apparent in this phase.

3. Tertiary Treatment Phase Allows the effluent to be disinfected before it is discharged to the environment.
