Installation

The mechanical components of the BioCompact® C system are set up in the basin.  Then, the electronic control system and sensors are installed. After connecting the BioCompact® unit to influent and effluent pipes and to a source of electricity, the system is ready for operation.

Maintenance

Ordinary maintenance includes a monthly check of the activated sludge’s concentration and a bimonthly cleaning of the system’s sensors. The frequency of discarding accumulated waste (non-biodegradable material, sand, and excess sludge) largely depends on the influent quality, and thus, on the habits of the population connected to the treatment system.
