Quotation for requested BIOCOS® wastewater treatment unit: 250 PE/ 200 l/PE
Concrete Plant

Dear Mr. Stefan Lliev, Dear IG Eco – Team!

Thank you for your interest in our unique BIOCOS® wastewater treatment plants.
According to your information we worked out a proposal for a BIOCOS wastewater treatment
solution including a mechanical pre treatment (settling tank) with a concrete plant.

The basic offer contains the biological wastewater treatment, the heart of BIOCOS®. Other
components of the plant can be added as options according to individual requirements.

We suggest constructing the tanks under ground in on site sewerage proof and reinforced
concrete established by any preferred construction company. All architectural work
(construction of tanks, influent- and effluent piping) is excluded in that offer.

We are happy to receive your feedback soon, in order to move forward and to begin
reservation of production capacities.

Best regards,

Christian Becker

Approach / Basic principles of the BIOCOS® technology

BIOCOS® is the most innovative and proven solution for wastewater purification based on
the activated sludge technology. The technology was invented and has undergone further
development in Germany and Austria. BIOCOS® was named “Most Innovative Process for
Waste Water Treatment” in Germany in 2002.
BIOCOS® is based on the activated sludge technology but replaces all the disadvantages of
the conventional activated sludge process. The result is a simple, innovative and highly
effective solution for waste water treatment. In addition, the competitive investment and
comparably low operating costs make BIOCOS® a very economic solution for applications of
any kind around the world. Hundreds of installations and satisfied customers confirm the
excellence of BIOCOS®.

How does BIOCOS® work?

BIOCOS® consists of at least two reactors. In the aeration reactor, oxygen is added to allow
the bacteria to biologically eliminate the organic load. The activated water-bacteria-sludge
mixture then floats into the sedimentation and circulation reactor. After a period of
circulation to establish a homogenous environment, the sedimentation phase starts. The
bacteria flocks are sinking down to the bottom of the reactor. The result is purified water at
the top and sludge at the bottom of the reactor.

Page 4 of 14
BIOCOS® plant (symbolic)

The purified water can then be withdrawn from the reactor directly, without further
treatment, or indirectly, with for example the addition of chlorine, to be released into the
environment.

A constant mass of the settled sludge is pumped back into the aeration reactor. Surplus
sludge, however, is taken from the sedimentation and circulation tank e.g. to be stored in
another basin or to be dried or processed in any other way e.g. electromechanical surplus
sludge dewatering. Afterwards the process starts again.

BIOCOS® waste water treatment can be designed to solve individual waste water treatment
problems. For example, the size of the plant and the number of BIOCOS® lines used can be
adjusted to the quantity of waste water to be handled. BIOCOS® plants can be built in
modules to allow future expansion right from the start. Mechanical pre-treatment, pre-
settling tanks, sludge drying applications, UV treatment, chlorination, arrangement of single
installation sections etc. also can be adapted to your specific requirements. With BIOCOS®,
we can build an optimal solution in terms of technology as well as economics.

BIOCOS® Effluent Quality

High, sustainable, effluent quality is ensured even at fluctuating influent composition and
quantity through an automatically controlled, stable biological environment, from which only
surplus sludge is removed.
The values presented here are maximum values during normal operation. The values are
guaranteed as long as the operator complies with all operating and maintenance guidelines
stated in the manuals. We give no guarantee for any value if standard operating procedures
are not being followed, maintenance of any type is neglected, or if influent values do not
correspond to the values provided to us before the start of the project.
As can bee seen in the table, the plant’s performance will under normal conditions always
exceed the limits defined under European law.
Optionally the effluent can at the end of the purification process be treated with chlorine for
disinfection.
