Lumbrifiltration
During the development of more ecological and sustainable water plant treatment options we have included lumbrifiltration technology.
Lumbrifiltration explained in 3 steps:
Pre-treatment system
Main systems used in the separation of solids, fat mitigation, neutralization, homogenization and other unit operations.
Lumbrifiltration
A filter consisting of diverse material including its main component of organic material with earthworms and microorganisms. Residual water flows through a filter where organic material es absorbed and digested by earthworms and microorganisms, eliminating contamination.
Post-treatment System
The effluent from the lumbrifilter is submitted to disinfection and decantation processes for the elimination of remaining pathological bacteria. This system is effective in reducing certain parameters such as: BOD, COD, suspended solids as well as oils, fats, nitrogen and phosphorus.
Benefits
Elimination of Sludge
Residual water is completely treated and therefor a fertilizer called humus is created instead of sludge which can be used or sold.
Odor Elimination
Since the treatment is aerobic (oxygen presence), the percolating filter does not produce nauseous odors. The time of the water treatment process is fast lasting between 30 and 40 minutes and therefore there is no water decomposition.
System does not saturate
The constant action of earthworms and microorganisms maintains the lumbrifilter that is always aerated and permeable.
Extended Aeration Treatment Plant
We offer a personalized extended aeration water treatment plant design and ultrafiltration that can be adapted to your needs.
Designs that meet Chilean Regulations
We guarantee compliance with DS 90 in relation with discharge parameters for residual liquids and NCh 1333 for irrigation.
The most used system in the world.
This system has a great capacity that allows it to assimilate waste fast and efficiently maintaining a high-quality final effluent. It is very efficient in its use of space and doesn’t require a high investment.
Also thanks to EPHI, our treatment plants monitoring system makes it much more easier to operate and recognize when intervention might be needed. Instead of being a problem, operating your treatment plant will be a solution to your needs.
