The system is ideal for any commercial facility that does not have a sewer connection.  For systems with a design flow of less than 20,000 L/day, standard Waterloo Biofilter treatment modules are 7.5' diameter by 9' high polyethylene (PE) tanks rated at ~5,000 L/day each.  For systems with a design flow >20,000 L/day, standard Waterloo Biofilter treatment modules are 40' or 20' length by 8' wide by 8' high modified ISO Shipping Containers (SC), which are rated at 40,000 L/day and 20,000 L/day, respectively.  Below ground systems consist of Bulk Filled concrete tanks or wire mesh baskets, and can treat up to 10,000 L/day.  These units utilize active air circulation and an innovative design that is ideal for high-strength wastewater and for sensitive areas requiring nitrogen removal.
