Abstract
A bioreactor for home septic unit consisting of a large, multi-stage chamber wherein influent containing raw sewage including tissue and toilet paper flows through a series of treatment stages containing aeration and microbes specific for treatment of chemical waste, biological waste, ammonia, paper and paper products, and other contaminants, the bioreactor also consisting of one or more stages of filtration utilizing sand and/or other filter media.
Claims26
A bioreactor home septic unit for treatment of septic waste, the bioreactor home septic unit comprising:
- An inlet for intake of untreated septic waste influent;
- A first aerobic treatment zone fluidically connected to the effluent inlet, the first treatment zone containing a first air diffuser and a first bioreactor;
- A second aerobic treatment zone fluidically connected to the first treatment zone, the second treatment zone containing a second air diffuser and a second bioreactor;
- A third aerobic treatment zone fluidically connected to the second treatment zone, the third treatment zone containing a third air diffuser and a third bioreactor;
- A fourth aerobic treatment zone fluidically connected to the third treatment zone, the fourth treatment zone containing a fourth air diffuser and a fourth bioreactor;
- A fifth aerobic treatment zone fluidically connected to the fourth treatment zone, the fifth treatment zone containing a fifth air diffuser and a fifth bioreactor;
- Each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth bioreactors containing filter medium and living microbes suspended within the filter medium;
- Each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth bioreactors further having a perforated exterior shell, wherein as the living microbes regenerate and multiply within the first, second, third, fourth and fifth bioreactors, a portion of the living microbes are released into the septic waste within the first, second, third, fourth and fifth treatment zones of the home septic unit;
- A first sand filter zone fluidically connected to the fifth treatment zone, the first sand filter zone containing sand;
- A second sand filter zone fluidically connected to the first sand filter zone, the second sand filter zone containing sand;
- A UV disinfectant zone fluidically connected to the second sand filter zone, the UV disinfectant zone containing a source of UV light;
- and
- An outlet fluidically connected to the UV disinfectant zone, the outlet for removal of effluent from the bioreactor home septic system, wherein the microbes break down biological and chemical waste and digest solid waste.
