BioKube is Biological cleaning of Wastewater.
The BioKube Biological Wastewater Treatment System is designed for biological treatment of household (domestic) sewage water.
We clean "gray water" water coming from the kitchen and bath and we also in the same system clean "black water" coming from the toilet. The system is designed to be connected to an existing septic tank or similar pre-settlement tank.
We also clean industrial wastewater mainly from the agricultural industry such as fruit and vegetable factories, diaries slaughterhouses.
See here a general description of all BioKube solutions for treating waste water. The description also covers how waste water from a BioKube can be recirculated.
See here a PowerPoint presentation of BioKube.
BioKube products are certified in accordance with CEN Standard 12566-3 and BioKube is legal in all EU countries.
A new EU standard regarding small wastewater treatment systems has from 1. May 2006 been implemented in all EU countries, see EU Journal C/2005 319/01. From 1. May 2007 the new standard is obligatory in all EU countries and any old national standards can no longer be used.
The CEN standard 12566-3 concerns “Small wastewater treatment systems for up to 50 PT – part 3: packaged and/or site assembled domestic wastewater treatment plants.
BioKube systems are certified to fulfill CEN standard 12566-3. This means, that from 1. January 2007 BioKube wastewater treatment systems are certified in all EU countries, where the required outlet values are above BOD5 < 10 mg/ltr, NH4 < 5 mg/ltr, COD < 75 mg/ltr and P < 1,5 mg/ltr. See documentation of BioKube cleaning quality here.
See CEN standard 12566-3 here.
EU Clean Water Directive.
The legal foundation of CEN 12566-3 is also DIRECTIVE 2000/60/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLEMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action of water policy. See the directive here.
EU requirements on urban wastewater treatment
The EU requirements on the cleaning quality of a wastewater treatment system is given in Counsil Directive of 21. May 1991 (91/271/EEC).
The specific requirements are given in Table 1 and table 2 as BOD5 < 25 mg/ltr, COD < 125 mg/ltr, P < 2 mg/ltr. There is no requirement on NH4 reduction. As documented above, these requirements are fully fulfilled by BioKube systems.
BioKube is covered by international patents.

Our mission:
Less than 2 pct of the world’s known water resources can be used as drinking water. It is therefore important that we help protect these from any pollution, which among other sources could come from our wastewater.
BioKube wants to continuously develop treatment systems that will protect our limited access to drinking water. We strive to develop simple, yet highly effective methods, which can cleanse the domestic wastewater.
Using "flexibility" as the keyword in product development, BioKube has managed to develop a range of systems which can be upgraded for future increased demands on outlet values, or be expanded in order to connect neighboring houses. In other words, BioKube customers should not be restrained to a system that limits any need in the future.
