bioengineering
We want to contribute to improving the quality of life in vulnerable communities, which is why we innovate through 100% natural and sustainable sanitation systems that filter wastewater and clean it to prevent contamination of rivers and tributaries and improve public health.
Our systems work through two phases: vermifiltration and a second phase of nutrient fixation. What does that mean? That first the sewage is treated with worms and aerobic bacteria that digest the excreta or feces and convert them into hummus or fertilizer. In fact, they have the incredible ability to convert approximately 1kg of excreta per day! And to digest and reduce all these excrements to 20% of their totality! Something impossible in a normal septic system.
Subsequently, this solid-free water undergoes a second cleaning as it is filtered through a tank with anaerobic bacteria or, our favorite option, through specialized plants such as bambucillo in a bio-garden or wetland.
The water is absolutely clear and odourless , ready to go to rivers or tributaries without contaminating them or as a super fertilizer for gardens or crops.
