This product by Aquatrone is proven as a very effective tool through helping in optimum utilization of water and waste. It can connect up to 25 toilets which means that the product is very affordable for everyone.
What does the system/product do?
1.) System/product prevents the formation of sludge by separating faecal solids from flushing water thus making the toilet system as ecological.
2.)The separation process is based on 3 natural principles:- Momentum of flushing water, centrifugal force, and gravity.
3.)The process does not involve mechanical moving parts, electricity or chemicals.
Aquatron can handle peak loads(upto 60ltr/second).
What happens to liquids:-
1.)98% of liquid is separated immediately.
2.)2% falls into bio-chamber with faecal solids and is filtered through a special mat.
3.)Separated flushing water & urine can be mixed with kitchen, bath and washing water.
4.)Separated liquids are directly reusable for gardening.
What happens to solids:-
1.)Facecal matter, paper and other solid objects falls into the bio chamber.
2.)Natural bacteria consume and convert upto 95% of the matter into carbon dioxide.
3.)The end product wil be a small scoop of hygienic, odorless manure.
4.)The need to empty the bio chamber and handle compost is reduced to a minimum.
5.)There are no insects or unpleasnt odours around the dry bio chamber.
Advantages:-
- Reduces power consumption as 50-75% savings could be achieved on power consumption since sludge pumps could be decommissioned and aeration can be reduced.
- Provides with good water quality for reuse as Inlet BOD reduced by 50% to approx 80 mg/ltr due to instant solid removal- PCB standard treated water quality achieved.
Installation Guide:-
Aquatron can be placed anywhere within 60 metres (200 feet) from the furthest toilet.
Upto 25 toilets can be connected to a single Aquatron.
