BioKube certifications, patents and national approvals.

1. BioKube CEN 12566-3 approval.

     All small wastewater treatment systems up to 50 PE sold in EU must be approved after the standard European norm CEN 12566-3.
   BioKube is approved after CEN 12566-3, see BioKube CEN 12566-3 approval here .

   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.  See CEN standard 12566-3 here

2. BioKube technology is covered by international Patents.

BioKube is covered by international patents.

   BioKube has developed its simple, yet highly effective methods for treating wastewater. The small systems up to 50 PE are mainly used to clean domestic wastewater. 
   Our cleaning process is unique in its stability of the cleaning process. The technology is covered by international patents.  See BioKubes USA Patent here covering the basic technology.

The patented process control has the following benefits:

  • The wastewater is treated more efficiently than by any other method
  • Phosphorus can be removed without harming the bacteria
  • Formation of H2S in the pre settlement tank is prevented
  • Load-swings from individual households are anticipated and are balanced out over 24-hours, so that the treatment of the wastewater becomes safer and more stable.
  • The operation of the system can be programmed to the needs of the individual user.
  • The BioKube can be remote controlled (via GSM) and are able to call for service if needed (additional software package).
  • Nitrate is broken down during the treatment of the wastewater, preventing this from reaching the groundwater.
  • The purified wastewater can be reused, typically for irrigation.
  • No moving parts, i.e. drum-filters. Therefore service is reduced to a minimum.
  • Very long expected service life.

See here documentation for our excellent cleaning process.

   BioKube preforms yearly service on all installed BioKube systems in Denmark (there are over 2.300 installed). 
   As part of this obligatory yearly service we conduct laboratory analyze on water samples from all plants and the test results are rapportet to the local authorities.
   See here the measured results for all 2.300 Systems.
   See here the test results sent to the municipalities. There is also se a description of BioKubes quality controle system when preforming service.

Technical Equipment.

     The BioKube AWTS is supplied with a box containing all electronic devices.It can be placed on ground surface (15PE–30PE systems) or placed in the first section (5PE–10PE systems).

     The box contains 1 - 4 low-energy air blowers (one blower for each chamber), 3-way magnet valves, dosing pump and chemicals for phosphorus treatment and the microprocessor control unit.

     There are no moving parts like filter drums etc. in a BioKube and the need for service is extremely low. A yearly check is normally fully satisfactory. There is a alarm if there is a hardware failure.

     The energy consumption is extremely low. For a Venus 5  PE system the yearly power consumption was measured for a full year during CEN Approval test to be only 473 KWh.
