Wastewater Cleaning Station

Maintenance can be provided by a Full Service Maintenance Agreement or on an as-required basis.

Operating costs:
The operating costs can be broken down into three major areas:

All components are of the highest quality and manufactured to AS-ISO standards within the USA.

All electrical components carry a 12 month guarantee unless this is exceeded by the manufacturers warranty.

Low BOD Recycled Water effluent : With a total of less than 10 mg / L, effluent can be used immediately for irrigation or further processed by UV light, reverse osmosis. membrane filtration, chemical dousing and/or electrical creation of Ozone disinfectant to produce potable water that is in fact, fit for human consumption.
Safe Water can be reticulated or stored for later use or released safely into the environment and water table.

The strained sewage passes into the reactor.  Bio-Xpress Reactors operate on a continuous aerobic digestion principle that mimics nature with all important improvements in speed, space, and safety.  The reactor has three stages.

The Buffer Tank screens these items and allows for their safe extraction and destruction or delivery to an approved land-fill site where they can be used for Biogas production.

The untreated waste is passed through a stainless steel strainer where the foreign matter is collected on a conveyor belt that transports to either a secure waste disposal bin or on-site incinerator without any need for physical handling.

The sewage flows into a buffer tank which screens, separates, and accumulates non-biodegradable waste and foreign objects such as sanitary napkins, condoms etc that inevitably find their way into any sewage system..  The buffer tank is also designed to hold and store any sewage that might be in excess of what the system is capable to process at any moment in time.  An unexpected surge that might otherwise result in overflow is contained.

Kuma Bio-Xpress Accelerated Aerobic Reactor How does it work?

Kumas Bio Express Waste Water Management Systems are designed to be quickly and easily maintained with a minimum of replacement parts.  This greatly reduces the opportunity for pollution due to system failure. In many instances a series of decentralized units can act as backup for one another.

• Tailoring solutions to prevailing conditions
• Minimizing freshwater requirements for waste transportation
• Reducing risks associated with system failures
• Increasing wastewater reuse opportunities
• Permitting incremental development and investment

Furthermore the decentralized wastewater management concept broadens technology options for:

Kumas decentralized system is better suited to translate into practice Bellagio Principles No. 3 (perceiving human excreta and wastes as potential resources) and No. 4 (solving sanitation issues as close as possible to the source).

• Eliminate the need for monolithic investment programs
• Expand systems to follow urban development
• Ensure a governed affordable cost per capita
• Take advantage of technology developments as they occur
• Return wastewater to reusable water in 24 hours
• Eliminate the chance of total system breakdown
• Adopt a 2 phase process to safe reusable and potable water
• :Locate stations where they are most needed
• Move systems when needed
• Accommodate decommissioning where necessary
• Ensure economical running costs by eliminating the need for large scale pumping providing savings as much as 75%.
• Eliminate expensive consumables such as replaceable membranes (filters)

During the last decade various researchers and institutions (including the World Bank) have considered the decentralized wastewater management approach as a viable alternative based on the following important advantages:

Out of Sight, Out of Mind:   The conventional wastewater management concept used for decades in densely populated, developed industrial urban environments consists of a water borne wastewater collection system leading to a central treatment facility. This does, too often, result in an out of sight, out of mind view of hygienic conditions.  The appropriateness of this model in the context of expanding urban environments has come into question.

Kumas Decentralized Waste Water Management Concept

In essence, raw sewage and electrical power goes in, and Biosludge and Recycled Water comes out.

The largest Bio-Xpress Reactor units can cater for in excess of 2,000 people and are delivered inside a standard 40' shipping container.

Bio-Xpress Systems can be built with multiple Bio-Xpress Reactors for additional capacity within a very small footprint.

Model 700:
As the model number implies, in the middle of the 9 unit product range is the 5 metre long Model 700 which can cater for up to 700 persons, 24x7.

can be attributed to poor sanitation and unhealthy water,

In 2008 the addressed the fact that according to The World Bank;

Kuma recognises and believes that clean water and sanitation is the greatest possible aid to improving the health of all humanity.
