Inventor copies nature to create wastewater solution
For over 12 years Dean Cameron has studied and mimicked nature (such as faeces breakdown in bat colonies and decomposing carcasses and cow pats) to solve one of man’s greatest problems – sewage.
“I discovered that the fastest decomposition of forest litter wasn’t taking place in rivers, as conventional sewage engineers were subconsciously emulating, but rather in the moist soil on the river edges” he said.
“So I mimicked this.”
This approach is totally different to conventional treatment systems that leave solid waste in wastewater and then use expensive air blowers to oxygenate it.
The result is that inside the compact tank of the patented Biolytix Sewage Treatment System, solid waste is separated immediately out of the water and selected organisms convert the waste into structured humus. The wastewater is then trickled through the humus, which cleanses it, ready to irrigate the garden.
The Biolytix System uses 95% less energy than conventional aerated systems
After 6 years of commercialisation Biolytix has grown to 70 staff and a growing team of trained Sales Representatives and Installers in Australia and New Zealand.
After 2.1 billion years of Research and Development, nature has the solutions for many of man's problems. Biolytix understands the importance of this.
