Introduction
The Biomatrix Cascade is an on-site wastewater treatment system, which combines the latest developments in ecological engineering with traditional wastewater treatment processes. The system components, manufactured off-site and delivered by truck in easy to assemble modular sections, minimize construction time and allow a highly cost competitive and treatment solution suitable for applications ranging from under 10m3/day to over 5000m3/day. The Biomatrix incorporates attractive ecological features and can be a key component in a sustainable water management plan.
The components of the system form a complex matrix of biological reactions and treatment processes. The resulting system is a robust, ecologically engineered treatment solution, which harnesses the complex power of nature to provide effective treatment of BOD, COD, TSS, nutrients and pathogens.
At the core of the system is an innovative floating platform system with planted ecologies, specialized attached growth treatment media. These elements provide the structure and the substrate to support a diversity of aquatic life forms adapted to thrive by metabolizing and removing nutrients from thewaste stream. This process produces an efficient system with minimal sludge production.
