Decentralised Systems
How they work
Bio-Xpress Reactors operate on a
continuous aerobic digestion
principle.
In essence, this mimics nature
with all important improvements in
speed, space and safety.
Raw sewage is passed to the multi-
stage Bio-Xpress Reactor after it
has been screened for non biodegradable waste. The Bio-Xpress Reactor continually aerates
and processes the sewage until it is separated into Recycled Water and valuable Biosludge.
A typical complete installation is described on page 3 along with two example illustrations of
Bio-Xpress Decentralised Wastewater Stations. A more complete description can be found
at:
http://bio-xpress.blogspot.com
In a Bio-Xpress Decentralised Wastewater Station, all equipment is installed above ground
and housed typically in an unobtrusive building designed to be in harmony with its
surrounding environment. This means that there is simply no opportunity for untreated
effluent to enter the environment and water table, and Kuma Sewer Mining Stations will not
impact negatively on the community.
Typical Installation Scenarios
Bio-Xpress Reactor systems are especially suited for:
Office buildings Cluster Housing projects Parks
Resorts Sports arenas RV areas
Indigenous housing Race tracks Airports
communities
Schools Island communities
Condominiums
Retirement villages Sanatoriums
Mining sites
Hospitals Remote rural communities
Hotels
Aged Care homes Residential areas
Military camps
Spas Shopping malls
Gated communities
Industrial estates Apartment buildings
Refugee Camps
Golf Clubs Factories
Caravan Parks
Campgrounds Gas stations
Prisons
Marinas Bus depots
Stadiums
Recreational areas
Bio-Xpress Reactors can be retrofitted to existing buildings or provide a comprehensive
solution for water saving and recycling in Green Building projects.
Installations have minimal space requirement and environmental impact in
terms of noise, odour and power consumption.

About our manufacturing standards

Bio-Xpress reactors are manufactured in Thailand by Kuma with the highest quality components and raw
materials.
2nd Phase potable water
Only ISO standard components and fittings from the USA are used along with International Standards
based high grade steel to ensure every Bio-Xpress Reactor will provide at least a full 20 years operational
lifetime.
Welding is completed to the highest level and exceeds all international and military standards.
After fabrication is completed, the entire unit is sandblasted back to white metal before precision coat-
ing with a coal tar based epoxy resin.
There are 9 standard sizes ranging from 2.5 metres in length for an average of 300+ persons to 12 me-
tres length catering for over 1800. Our factory is open for inspection by appointment to all government
officials, environmental delegations, community organisations and current and prospective customers.
Rapid shipment
Orders are completed under firm contract with agreed delivery times and costs.

Rapid shipment worldwide in 20’ & 40’ ISO containers

All Kuma Bio-Xpress Reactors and ancillary systems have been designed to fit and be readily packed in
standard ISO shipping containers.
This means complete systems can be delivered worldwide to your location and be fully operational in a
matter of hours from their arrival on-site.

 Bio-Xpress Decentralised systems

1st Phase Bio-Xpress Wastewater Station — serving 700 persons

• Buffer tank to balance shock loading

• non-biodegradable waste automatically loaded
in eco friendly, transportable disposal contain-
ers
• Biosludge outlet
• Low BOD Recycled Water for gardens, car
washing, toilet flushing and general building
exterior cleansing

What is the role of the buffer tank?

The role of the buffer tank in a Bio-Xpress Sewer Mining Station is two fold. Firstly it is the place where non-biodegradable objects that
find there way into the system are screened out for instant incineration or returned via appropriate containers as approved landfill. The
secondary role is to ensure that the sewage received will never overflow the 1st Phase treatment system. By designing the capacities to
adequately cope for the community being served, any chance of sewage overflow is eliminated.

2 Phase Bio-Xpress Sewer Mining Station — serving 2000 persons

required

Bio-Xpress Decentralised Systems
How safe is low BOD Recycled Water?
Biochemical Oxygen Demand is the primary measure and performance yardstick of water safety for
humans. With a BOD of less than 8 mg/L, the accelerated treatment provided by the innovative multi
-stage Bio-Xpress Reactor ensures the lowest BOD of any primary (1st Phase) sewage treatment
system. This extremely low BOD ensures you and your family's health for responsible Recycled
Water re-use, and very importantly, saves costly membrane consumables and lowers maintenance
when going on to 2nd Phase treatment for the return to Class A potable water.
Reclaiming for your choice of water re-use
By keeping the Class A water treatment as a separate 2nd Phase, Bio-Xpress clients and operators
are able to decide how much of the treated Recycled Water is set aside for Class A potable water
production. This means in those times when water is in abundance, primary treated, very low BOD
Recycled Water can be mined and recycled. With Bio-Xpress Sewer Mining Stations you have the
flexibility to ensure you are always operating for the minimum cost and the maximum effectiveness,
irrespective of water availability or demand.
About our Bio-Media
The Bio-Xpress Micro-Media provides a lifetime of operation and eliminates the need for
consumables in the primary treatment Phase. The micro construction ensures the maximum surface
area to house the bacteria. The serrated external surface provide a highly effective series of
cutting edges to speed the break-down of suspended solids and ensure the minimum cycle time from
sewage to low BOD Recycled Water.
Total Cost of Operation
When we quote for the installation of a Bio-Xpress Sewer Mining station you will be provided with a
Total Cost of Operation financial plan that spells out in fine detail every aspect of both the capital
and on-going expenses. With this useful tool, you are provided with a yardstick that ensures all your
competitive quotes are providing the maximum comparative financial detail. Call us any time for an
obligation free TCO for your project.
Minimising on-going maintenance and consumables
Bio-Xpress Sewer Mining Stations can be designed with 2nd Phase treatment facilities. This means
that the bulk of the treatment task (1st Phase) is handled by the Primary Bio-Xpress Reactor
equipped with Kuma Micro Bio-Media with no need whatever for consumables. The optional 2nd Phase
water purification system takes the low BOD Recycled Water from the Bio-Xpress Reactor and
returns it to Class A potable water as required using reverse osmosis and membrane technology
coupled with proven UV and Ozone sterilisation.
