About BioCompact®
The BioCompact® family is a line of affordable small to medium-sized wastewater treatment plants. These plants have a long history. They were initially developed in the mid-70s by Apparatebau Salzkotten, a German corporation. The US Coast Guard has used certain BioCompact® plants on ships since approving them almost 20 years ago.
Modular and Scalable
BioCompact® plants are modular and scalable. When your population grows, so too can your treatment system. There is no need for a large up-front investment.
