– Organic materials
are processed anaerobically to
biogas for energy production.
– Pathogenic Microbes
are digested anaerobically.
– Dissolved nutrients
Nitrogen, Phosphor, Potassium, etc.
are removed biologically by microalgae. [without chemicals].
– The water is rehabilitated
Typical bionomictm
plant effluent water oxygen content is 6 to 8 mg/l
[thanks to microalgae photosythesis]
– greenhouse gas emissions are avoided
Gases are captured and burned for energy
– Community wastewater management costs are reduced significantly
revenue from energy generation, algae biomass & voided costs reduce financial demand by 76 %

●
Bionomictm
Backbone
- Cleansing, de-nutrification & rehabilitation of
municipal community wastewaters.
- Stable continuous methane & energy production
- 76% lower wastewater management costs.
●
Complementary Energy Generation
- Photovoltaic panels can provide primary daytime electricity generation,
while continously produced bionomic methane is stored interim and used
to produce electricity during 'solar slack' and night-time demand.
●
Energy Co-Operation
- Renewable energy
produced from 'renewable'
community resources.
- Option to expand anaerobic processing
to other community organic wastes
such as kitchen, restaurant and
spoiled foods from supermarkets, etc.
- Encourage people to use their garburator
to 'feed the beast' for increased energy output
and diversion from landfill sites.
●
Core Production Numbers
- each lb of organics produces ~ 1.25kWh energy
- 1 barrel of oil produced per 3000 m³ of
wastewater processed.
- each barrel of oil contains ~ 1.7 Mwh energy
