Solution to waste water treatment

In the Philippines, less than 10 percent of the population have access to piped sewerage systems, furthermore 80 percent of the water consumed or used, commonly referred to as ‘wastewater,’ drains out into bodies of water. Consequently, years of neglect, poor management, and unimproved sanitation facilities have resulted to serious threats to public health, as well as increased damage to ecosystems and biodiversity.

Under the National Sewerage and Septage Management Program, about ₱200 million was made available as a subsidy for sewerage and septage projects that LGUs can avail of for their sanitation program.

‘Wastewater treatment and septage management are generally known to be expensive and need a lot of manpower to handle and maintain such services,’ said Eros Kaw, CEO of BioCleaner Inc. ‘BioCleaner wants to come in and offer our services to help address these problems, and hopefully to the LGUs by providing affordable and effective wastewater treatment and septage management at a minimal cost.’

In addition to the initial capital expenCement

diture, these facilities incur huge operating costs and human resource requirement. Moreover, there are serious concerns over the hazardous nature of the wastewater management process that exposes the sanitation crew to health risks while sludge handling proved to be costly and can leave contaminants that poison the environment.

However, US-based biotech company BioCleaner puts forward the most practical answer to the country’s sewerage and septage problem.

"We are confident that our system can effectively and efficiently deal wastewater treatment and septage management that is also proven to be safe to both people and the environment," says Kaw.

Developed in the US and with a Green Patent A, BioCleaner is the first non-chemical water cleaning facility that utilizes the power of nature to produce a biological solution that treats contaminated water and different types of organic waste.
