Employing nature to do the work, the Biolytix BioPod is engineered to meet the needs of billions of hard-working organisms that treat your wastewater. Providing a stable environment, food as they would naturally find it, and an abundance of oxygen. With these ideal conditions the biolytic organisms concentrate on what they do best; continually processing solids waste for free.

·        An ‘ecosystem in a tank’ which treats the wastewater without needing costly large mechanical aerators to run, repair or replace. This results in up to 90% less energy being consumed than in most aerated sewage treatment systems thereby reducing electricity costs.

·        Silent operation. There are no noisy blowers or pumps that can run up to 24 hours every day on other systems.

·        Absolutely no offensive smells due to the fact that the Biolytix uses an aerobic process with no smelly septic tank stage.

·        The BioPod treats household food waste so you can likely have a garbage grinder if you wish.

·        Independently tested in New Zealand and Council approved.

·        Treated wastewater beneficially irrigates lawns and gardens via specialised irrigation incorporating patented technologies for reliability.

·        Negligible methane emitted (21 x more potent than CO2), and no high-methane septic stage. Reducing your carbon footprint.

·        100% New Zealand made by a New Zealand owned company.

·        The most compact, lightweight wastewater system on the market. Less weight and volume to transport. Ideal for sites with difficult access. Less excavation and less disruption to your landscape.

From the outset the BioPod was engineered to be robust and built to last. It eliminates the mechanical complexity and problems of conventional wastewater systems, significantly reducing the running costs and without compromising on the quality of the treated effluent. With the BioPod the wastewater does not need to be separated into black and grey water, as it works with all standard plumbing and drainage configurations.

The wastewater enters the pod, an injection moulded high grade polypropylene tank, engineered to meet all NZ Standards requirements. Inside the tank, layers of trickling filter media are contained in woven mesh bags. The filter medias are highly porous and fibrous providing structure which significantly increases the treatment surface area and ability to retain moisture.

The resulting layed filter bed mimics a natural soil habitat, containing a diverse ecosystem of micro and macro-organisms. These organisms aerobically treat the wastewater as it percolates through the bed, preventing the accumulation of sludge and keeping the filter bed naturally aerated.

A small, quiet aquarium air pump is used to provide enhanced air flow to the bed imitating a gentle breeze, which ensures the optimal conditions for the waste processing ecosystem.

A geotextile filter layer separates the filter bed from the effluent storage sump. Its purpose being to remove the fine particles from the treated effluent. Effluent then drains into the central pump well, from where the now treated water is pumped to a land application system (e.g. drip irrigation) and returned safely to the environment and natural water cycle.

Biolytix’s unique system blends vermiculture with subtle aeration (a small aquarium air blower), achieving council-approved Secondary Treatment levels with natural processes, complemented with inspired technology. The Biolytix process is leading the world, in harnessing the energy in your waste (including sewage, toilet paper & food waste) to feed the powerhouse of organisms that break down and treat your waste completely naturally.

Experience the future of wastewater treatment with Biolytix’s energy minimalist approach. Precision engineered for efficient energy use’ the Biolytix system delivers high-performance wastewater treatment while keeping electricity bills low.

Made from 100% recycled material, this single-tank, single-pipe system is designed for seamless integration anywhere, from remote locations to challenging terrain, with minimal disruption to your landscape. 
 
With a simple single-pipe design, Biolytix connects seamlessly to plumbing with no need to separate black and grey water before it enters the system.

Once installed, it’s time to sit back and relax with a system that demands little attention or frequent servicing yet never compromises on performance. Easy.

Enjoy the peace of your backyard with a system that blends in harmoniously, with no septic smell and no loud pump noise. 

A major advantage of the BioPod is that it is not reliant on complex or expensive machinery to run. It has a minute, whisper quiet but robust, low energy and low volume air pump which ensures the ambient air in the BioPod is constantly refreshed providing an abundance of available oxygen supply for the aerobic organisms that do all the work in the filter. It blower only consumes 0.12 kWhours per day (approximately 3 cents per day) which is extremely low compared to other conventional aerated wastewater systems, which typically consume 10 to 20 times this. In addition to this, the air pump is whisper quiet. We have field and factory tested installed BioPod and recorded maximum noise of less than 40dB from a distance of just 1m. By comparison, the blowers used on aerated wastewater systems can be very noisy and can operate 24 hours a day.

The BioPod is extremely reliable but has an audible and visual alarm installed to let you know of any irregularities within the system.
