Biolytix Water Pty Ltd

  Overview

Biolytix Water manufactures Australia’s most awarded wastewater system — the Biolytix wastewater treatment system. Biolytix recycles sewage and wastewater into clean irrigation water.

  Competitive Advantages

Biolytix was recently the overall winner of the Asian Innovation Award, beating 260 entries from 16 countries, including some of the world’s largest multi-national companies. The prize is sponsored by the Wall Street Journal (Asia) and awarded to the company that demonstrates the most potential to improve quality of life.

Biolytix is a clean technology that cuts energy use by up to 90%, thereby helping to reduce the carbon pollution footprint. Biolytix systems can be used for households and commercial projects with high loadings and networked for housing developments, potentially halving costs.

  Technology & Services

Biolytix copies nature’s biolytic process: the efficient breakdown of waste by a complex range of organisms. The humus inside the Biolytix system is like a sponge that acts like a huge lung with an estimated 450 square kilometres of oxygenated pores. These pores naturally draw high levels of oxygen directly from the air, fueling the ecosystem inside the tank and ensuring it treats the waste rapidly.

In contrast, most conventional systems leave the waste in oxygen-deprived water. Consequently, for 12–20 hours per day they must run energy-intensive, noisy blowers to force oxygen into the water. Even with the blowers, most systems are unable to match the high oxygen levels that ensure the efficient and reliable breakdown seen in nature and in the Biolytix.

Biolytix has the robustness and resilience of nature. No grease traps, no pump-outs, no chlorine. Biolytix household systems have proven so reliable they only need one service per year, whereas most conventional systems need four.

  Markets, Brands and Alliances

Biolytix wastewater treatment systems can be used in a large cross-section of applications ranging from household onsite wastewater treatment systems for 2,200L/day to commercial systems for more than 200kL/day. The systems also can be networked together for housing developments and small towns. Each household can irrigate their own garden, with excess water piped off to irrigate parks, ovals and golf courses. Each of the 1,000 houses at the Point Boston development in South Australia will have a Biolytix system. The systems can be retrofitted into existing septic tanks and linked for whole towns, if necessary.  

Many organisations have supported the development of the Biolytix technology, including GHD engineers, Queensland University, Murdoch University and the Cooperative Research Centre for Waste Management & Pollution Control. A range of partnering opportunities are available.
