Biocombi Treatment Plant

The Biocombi Treatment Plant (BCTP) is designed to treat domestic strength sewage to achieve “Class C” treated effluent quality suitable for reuse in “risk category low” applications or for discharge to environment. With the optional “Class A” upgrade, treated effluent quality suitable for reuse in “risk category medium” applications is achieved.

Biological treatment in the Biocombi Treatment Plant (BCTP) is provided by the Biocombi equipment that uses Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) attached growth technology and cloth media filtration for solids separation (clarification) incorporated in a single packaged unit. The standard treatment process includes influent screening, primary settling and flow balancing, Biocombi treatment followed by effluent disinfection with sodium hypochlorite dosing.

The optional “Class A” upgrade includes effluent disinfection by dosing sodium hypochlorite and recirculation in treated effluent tank, with analysers for online monitoring of free chlorine, pH and turbidity.

Key Features

Low Energy & Operating Costs: Minimal energy consumption reduces overall expenses.
Reduced Maintenance: Simple process means maintenance can be undertaken by unskilled personnel.
Compact Design: Small footprint and easy installation, even in limited spaces.
Reliable Performance: Consistent treatment regardless of fluctuations in hydraulic and organic loads.
High Operational Safety: No odour, noise, or aerosol issues.
Quick Start-Up: Pre-assembled systems allow fast installation. Achieves optimal performance in 10–15 days without seeding.

Applications include small communities (50–1500 population equivalent), tourist villages, camping sites, portable treatment sites, hotels, schools, and highway service areas.
