WASTEWATER TREATMENT does not have to involve a heavy investment in expensive, large treatment plants. Wastewater Compliance Systems’ Bio-Domes remove nutrients at a fraction of the cost and operating expenses of mechanical plants.

Developed by University of Utah professors Kraig Johnson and Larry Reaveley, Bio-Domes’ award-winning, patented technology consists of concentrically nested domes that are infused with air from the bottom. They sit on the floor of a lagoon and are completely submerged. As water flows through them, bottom-to-top, beneficial bacteria (biofilms) effectively reduce ammonia-nitrogen, BOD, and TSS in wastewater. Unlike other systems, the growth of the naturally occurring bio-films is maximized by the way in which oxygen is optimally guided through the domes by their geometry.
