COMPARISON of STP (Bacteria-based)

VS.

NBIRO (Non-Bio)

 PARAMETER-1: NO FOUL ODOR ?

NBIRO ****** YES STP *** Patented foul odor; normally placed away From residential area

 PARAMETER-2: NO AERATION TANK?

NBIRO ***** YES STP *** Aeration tank, a standard equipment

 PARAMETER-3: NO BACTERIA, NO
ENZYMES? NBIRO ***** YES STP *** Germs-dependent Via organic Purification

 PARAMETER-4: NO TOXIC GASES?

NBIRO ***** YES STP *** Hydrogen sulfide, methane, & ammonia are toxic gases and are constantly emitted from the Aeration tank by huge blowers

 PARAMETER-5: RAPID REACTION IN

MINUTES? NBIRO ***** YES STP *** Slow process in days

 PARAMETER-6: NO SLUDGE REQUIRED?

NBIRO ***** YES

STP *** Sludge-dependent as it cultures Bacteria

 PARAMETER-7: INDEPENDENT OF
TEMPERATURE? NBIRO ***** YES STP *** @>37C population is reduced; all dead @ 4oC; Thus needs re-starting; A problem during summer

 PARAMETER-8: UN-AFFECTED BY OIL

& GREASE? NBIRO ***** YES STP *** Oils adhere to bacterial Floss reducing oxygen Transfer; @ 20C => toxic effect

 PARAMETER-9: UN-AFFECTED BY
FOAMING? NBIRO ***** YES STP *** Foaming results to Sludge loss; thus Poor settling

 PARAMETER-10: UN-AFFECTED BY
ALCOHOL, CHLORINE, AND OTHER DISINFECTANTS? NBIRO ***** YES STP *** These kill the bacteria; Halts the bio-process; Leads to re-starting

 PARAMETER-11: UN-AFFECTED BY
TOXIC SUBSTANCES: AROMATICS, HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS, METAL SALTS

NBIRO ***** YES

STP *** These stops the bio-process; leads to Troublesome re-starting

 PARAMETER-12: UN-AFFECTED BY BAD

INFFLUENT DISSOLVED OXYGEN (D.O.)? NBIRO ***** YES STP *** @<1 ppm D.O.=> Loss of Sludge; de-nitrification And high D.O. Causes Sludge to float

 PARAMETER-13: UN-AFFECTED BY HIGH

CHLORIDES? NBIRO ***** YES STP *** @>200 ppm chlorides would adversely affect the bio-process

 PARAMETER-14: UN-AFFECTED BY BAD

INFFLUENT pH? NORMAL RANGE = 6.5-8.5 NBIRO ***** YES STP *** Bad pH de-activates the sludge process; acidic pH produces filamentous bacteria w/c causes sludge bulking

 PARAMETER-15: ECONOMIZES ON
WATER? NBIRO ***** YES due to recycling STP *** Not good to re-cycle due to bacteria in the effluent

 PARAMETER-16: SMALL SPACE

REQUIRED? NBIRO ***** YES STP *** Patented huge space due to the need to calculate the retention time in the Aeration tank; Vol / Flowrate

 PARAMETER-17: ECONOMICAL UNIT

PRICE? NBIRO ***** YES STP *** EXPENSIVE

 PARAMETER-18: ECONOMICAL
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE (O & M) COSTS?
NBIRO ***** YES STP *** Very high O/M cost

 PARAMETER-19: EASY TO OPERATE?

NBIRO ***** YES Due to Automatic Controls

STP *** Complicated: too many process variables

 PARAMETER-20: PROVEN TO HAVE

PASSED ALL THE DENR & INTERNATIONAL EFFLUENT STANDARDS?
NON-BIO ******* YES STP *** Not all

 PARAMETER-21: CONSISTENT RESULTS ?

NBIRO ***** YES

STP *** NO

 SOCIAL POSITIONS:

ENVIRONMENT: CLEAN & HEALTHY

STP

A NO-NO FOR HOSPITALS :

BECAUSE OF :
1. Foul odor 2. Emission of toxic gases: hydrogen Sulfide, methane, ammonia, etc. 3. Hospitals are symbols of health 4. Alcohol in the inffluent water. Germs wont grow. STP wont work. 5. Economics of hidden costs: process not working yet pumps & blowers are operating. Owners dont know.

NBIRO
Non-Biological and Reverse Osmosis Waste Water Treatment System

Definitely, the better system as compared to STP
