On-site Water Filtration

Bioaction has developed a portable on-site wastewater filter unit - FiltaBin™. It can be used to treat wastewater that cannot be pumped into sewer or stormwater because of its potential contaminate loading.
FiltaBin™ is a simple robust design that can be delivered and removed from site and only requires a simple connection of a flexdrive pump and start pumping.

The applications for on-site filtration includes:
•    Infrastructure manholes and in-ground manway accesses
•    Drainage pits
•    Retention and settlement ponds
•    Liftwells
•    De-watering contaminated sites
•    Oil tank retention tanks and bunds

FiltaBin™ has the ability to remove environmental contaminates from waste water such as:
    •    Hydrocarbons
    •    Ammonia
    •    Heavy metals
    •    Acid Sulphate Soil Leachate (sulphuric acid)

The units are cleverly designed:
    •    Robust enough to be left on a construction site
    •    Operated by untrained staff
    •    Vandal-proof
    •    Varying flow rates

“Modular construction in GRP (AS 2634-1983 standards) allows the biofilters to meet airflow ratings without compromising the footprint”

Biomedia

Traditionally, there has been a variety of organic media types used in biofiltration such as bark, woodchips and green waste, all of which are problematic. Rapid and irregular decomposition of traditional organic media result in compaction which reduces airflow and increases backpressure or develops preferential pathways, creating venting of the airstream. High maintenance & replenishment costs limit their commercial viability regardless of their base costs.

The Bioaction Biomedia™ is significant advancement in organic media:

Robust - resists biological, chemical and mechanical degradation
Even diffusion – homogeneous structure with high “air-filled porosity”
High water holding capacity – large surface area (6000 m2/ltr) & excellent capillary action
Free draining – open and porous structure will not bind water to become wet
Biological host – surface area, moisture retention and thermal buffering optimises microbial colonization
Resists compaction – increases bed depth and reduces footprint

Bioaction have partnered with the Environmental Biotechnology Cooperative Research Centre (EBCRC) in the application of their modified Zeolite. This amendment is incorporated with the Bioaction Biomedia to biologically modify it to the specific odour or contaminate airstream.

Introduction

Bioaction has developed a number of passive filter applications for the removal of ecological contaminates such nutrients and hydrocarbons from stormwater and drainage water. The next stage from a “gross pollutant trap”, this simple application can reduce the risk of an ecological event:
•    Waterways and water bodies becoming devoid of life through oxygen depletion
•    Water bodies becoming contaminated and toxic
•    Aquatic mutation can cause species imbalance
•    Introduced flora flourishing at the expensive of indigenous species.

The company has designed and engineered filter structures to optimise the mechanical and biological filtration capabilities of the Bioaction Biomedia™.

Product applications:
Drain Filter
Filter Gabions
Filter Baskets
Filter Trench

Technical

Bioaction has developed flexible and functional designs for the application of stormwater filtration. A number of designs were developed conscious of the installation, maintenance and management:

•    Applicable to engineered and natural drainage systems
•    Robust construction to withstand severe storm events
•    Simple maintenance access for media replacement
•    Vandal-proof
•    Construction to meet Australian Standards

Further designs are under development to suit urban drainage design.

                                                        -        Outlet section
                                                -    Lid assembly

Filter units are flexible enough to extended to fit most applications. Each single section houses 4 coir baskets containing 320L of Biormedia™.

Introduction

The practice of sweeping kerbside gutters and cleaning Gross Pollutant Traps (GPT) in urban development reduces the amount of waste washed into waterways. While this is a sound environmental practice it requires regular maintenance and generates wet waste, which has to be dewatered prior to going to landfill.

Bioaction have developed two applications to assist in wet waste management:

1. Filtration system to remove contaminates and hydrocarbons from the wastewater.

2. Dewatering system including the primary filter screen, silt trap and filter.

These designs reduce both the financial cost or removing and disposing contaminated wastewater and the environmental cost of leachate contamination.Treated wastewater can be reused for dust control and subsurface irrigation.

Introduction

Testing and Monitoring

Bioaction provides environmental testing and monitoring of water. The company has a range of on-site test equipment to measure environmental contaminates.

Nutrient Testing:

Due to increasing pressure from legislation there is a growing requirement to carry out routine analysis on wastewaters prior to discharge. The range of on-site testing covers all the main parameters needed for wastewater monitoring, including Ammonia, Nitrate, Total Nitrogen, Phosphate, Total Phosphorous, Nickel, Chromium, Iron, Zinc and Copper.

Hydrocarbon Testing:

Bioaction are Australian agents for the Hanby TPH Water Test Kit

Providing the best analytical field tests to detect and monitor petroleum contaminants in water, Hanby analytical test kits are used in the detection and monitoring of a broad range of petroleum-related contaminants. The patented system provides the fastest and most accurate results available. Recommended by the USEPA.

Case Study

EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL “V” DRAINS
USING COIRNET & FILTABOOMS

Maitland City Council

Maitland City Council faced a common problem of stabilising roadside “V” drains to prevent and reduce erosion and scouring of newly disturbed ground. Use of soil stabilisation geofabrics such as jute was ineffective, as its integrity was compromised well before vegetation could be established. Bioaction recommended the council use Bioaction CoirNet and FiltaBoom products.

A "V" Drain, approximately 300 metres long, was cleared of all vegatation and prepared using standard civil engineering practices (without compaction). Two stabilizing methods were compared along the length of the drain.

Method 1 - Standard Construction

When the drain was prepared a 100m section was allocated at the first part of the drain flow. They applied traditional construction methods using silt fencing and silt bags filled with sand. The section was treated with Rye Grass Seeds and Bitumen to stabilise the soil.

The images enclosed in this case study were taken 3 weeks after the installation in conjunction with council staff responsible for the construction.

The traditional construction (method 1) had shown deep scouring and erosion, particularly the loose uncompacted soil common through the entire drain. The soil retention applications such as silt fence and silt bags were damaged or relocated by the energy of the stormwater flow. All the grass applied was lost with the loss of soil.

Method 2 - Bioaction Recommended Construction

The second 200m section was prepared using the same clearing and reshaping process. The drain was then covered with CoirNet along the length of the drain to its 2m width. It was then pinned with 1m centres using “U” shaped soil pins. FiltaBooms were placed across the drain at 20m intervals and pined to the soil through the coir netting in a “V” shape to trap floating solids in the valley. This section was then treated with the same Grass & Bitumen application as the first section.

In contrast the second section showed no damage even though the stormwater would have had greater energy and carried all the soil scoured from the upstream section. It retained the soil and sediment from the first section, and the grasses were well established with the roots system stabilised by the retained moisture in the CoirNet.

12 Months Later...

Bioaction staff visited the site 12 months after the original installation to inspect the condition of the CoirNet and FiltaBooms, and how the construction was standing up to normal conditions. The installation had major environmental significance as all the drainage flows to a natural wetland, and any silting would impact the quality of the wetland flora and fauna.

These images clearly demonstrate that the installation meets all the criteria for ground stability and erosion mitigation. The initial installation is now completely vegetated and any damage caused by heavy vehicles was purely cosmetic and did not effect the CoirNet or the construction.

The FiltaBooms helped to reduce the energy of the water flow while the CoirNet stabilised the ground. This allowed vegetation to naturally bind in the material and establish proper ground rooting. It was difficult to see the CoirNet and FiltaBooms as they had been covered by robust vegetation and there was no evidence of any silting.

Maitland Council have since extended the installation due to the very positive outcomes of the initial installation.

Slope Stabilisation

This is an example of slope stabilization where FiltaBooms were used to bind the slope and create an environment to promote vegetation. FiltaBooms have the ability to maintain moisture and become a natural host for plantings or natural seeding.

Parks Victoria have used FiltaBooms along walking trails to stop erosion across the pathways at the natural drainage depressions. The environmental ordinance restricts ground disturbance and as such does not allow them to use traditional erosion control measures.

FiltaBooms were the answer as they can be installed without the use of pegs or star-pickets as the booms are held in place with “U” pins. The booms then reduced flow and erosion potential. They quickly become a point for native vegetation to establish and further control the erosion.

FiltaBin

FiltaBin^TM was developed and patented by Bioaction to provide an effecient and cost effective solution for operators and contractors to safely manage industrial and environmental wastewater and reduce the incidence of potential environmental contamination.

The applications for on-site filtration includes:

Infrastructure manholes and in-ground manway accesses
Drainage pits
Retention and settlement ponds
Liftwells
De-watering contaminated sites
Oil tank retention tanks and bunds

The system offers significant cost benefits over traditional wastewater removal costs, hazardous waste disposal costs and the reduction of downtime.
Designed to use standard skip bin transport, the FiltaBin^TM can be delivered directly to the waste processing point.

Flow Rate and Capacity

FiltaBin^TM has been designed for simple site management. Flow rates and capacity can be managed by untrained staff. Inflow is predetermined by a control restrictor which allows the wastewater to be pumped with a range of pumping options.

FiltaBin^TM can be setup in series to increase capacity, or in parallel to increase flow volume. Once set, all operate at the same rate. One bin processes up to 200L/min, with an overall capacity of 300,000L depending on contaminate and loading.

FiltaMedia^TM Organic Filter Media

Bioaction have advanced the application of organic media for a range of environmental filtration applications. FiltaBin^TM has been designed to apply this media, and the “bottom-up” filter design means that there is even infiltration throughout the filter bed to maximise the contact time with the media.

Further advances have been made in amending the filter media for specific filtration needs. These amendments are natural mineral and organic inputs that match the media so not to create stratas or disaggregation.

Reduce Environmental Contamination

FiltaBin^TM minimises the risk of environmental contamination, which is a responsibilty of any contractor or operator.

FiltaBin^TM provides a significant management process to manage risk and deal with many of the common wastewater contaminates:

Hydrocarbons
Ammonium
Organic
High level BOD's
Acid Sulphate Soil leachate
Suspended solids

FiltaMedia

Traditional organic media such as bark, wood chips and green waste are problematic when used as a biofiltration media. Rapid, irregular decomposition and mechanical degradation results in compaction, which reduces flow and increases back pressure or develops preferential pathways and venting. High maintenance and replenishment costs limit their commercial viability regardless of their base costs.

Bioaction FiltaMedia^TM is a significant advancement in organic filtration media:

Robust – resists biological and mechanical degradation
Even diffusion – consistent structure with high "air-filled porosity"
High water holding capacity – large surface area (6000 m²/L) and excellent capillary action
Free draining – open and porous structure
Biological host – surface area, moisture retention and thermal buffering optimises microorganism population
Resists compaction – increases bed depth and reduces footprint

Bioaction FiltaMedia^TM can be used for a range of filtration applications, such as biofiltration of odorous air and wastewater filtration.

FiltaMedia^TM is convenient to use. Available in bulk or 25kg bales, they are an efficient choice when managing installation and maintenance. Each bale yields 200 Liters and is compacted at a ratio of 2:1 to improve freight and handling logistics.

FiltaMedia^TM is effective in a range of environmental filtration applications as it treats a range of organic and inorganic contaminates such as hydrocarbons, heavy metals, nutrients, acid sulphate leachate, suspended solids and silt.

Wastewater Filtration

FiltaMedia^TM can be effectively used in a range of wastewater filtration applications:

Filter Trench - FilterMedia^TM is laid into trenches to provide a lateral filtration format. Wastewater is directed into the trench where contaminates and nutrients are entrapped. The moisture holding capacity and air filled porosity promotes biological oxidisation of contaminants.
Filter Gabions - FilterMedia^TM is housed in a formed structure in a storm water drain. The media is held within a geo-basket that resists blinding and allows for easy replenishment and maintenance.
Filter Trap - FiltaMedia^TM is used in a concrete structure that allows “bottom up” filtration. It can provide post "Gross Pollutant Trap" treatment of polluting contaminants.
On-site Portable Filtration - FiltaMedia^TM is used in the patented FiltaBin^TM which provides on-site filtration of contaminated wastewater. The mobile units can be set up in series to increase capacity or in parallel to increase flow rate.
Biofiltration - FiltaMedia^TM is a highly effective biofiltration media providing the optimum conditions for odour entrapment and biological degradation.

About FiltaMedia^TM

FiltaMedia^TM is made from Coir Husk which is a natural organic material derived from coconut production. It is the ultimate renewable resource as it grows without the need for irrigation, fertilisers or pesticides. The fruit is harvested without destroying the tree, which continues to yield friut for many years.

Coir demonstrates polymer-like charcteristics. and is very robust. It maintains its integrity in acid and alkaline state while resisting mechanical degradation in waste water filtration. The high lignin content of coir resists biological degradation. Its open capillary structure and large surface area provides a free-draining media with moisture retention capacity of up to 70%.

Stormwater Filtration

Ecologically Responsible

Bioaction design and supply a range of packaged systems to suit the stormwater hydrology, geographical location and water reuse requirement. The systems are designed for easy and consistent application and avoid the problems of sourcing specific filter substrates. Water retention tanks can be engineered into the same construction for potential harvesting and reuse. The company can arrange installation of biofiltration systems in conjunction with our national affiliate network.

Effective conveyance function of stormwater.
Removes fine and coarse sediments.
Efficiently remove hydrocarbons, soluble contaminates, soluble nutrients and fine particulate contaminants.
Provide a low level of extended detention.
Provide flow retardation for frequent (low ARI) rainfall events.
Simplifies installation process to consistantly meet the guidelines of “Water Sensitive Urban Design” (WSUD) installation.

KEY DESIGN ELEMENTS
Maintaining adequate infiltration capacity is crucial in ensuring the long-term treatment efficiency of the system. The ability of a bioretention system to detain and infiltrate incoming stormwater is a function of the filter surface area, extended detention (ponding) depth, and the hydraulic conductivity of the filter media. The Bioaction designed bioretention system optimises the combination of these three key design elements.

BIOENGINEERED DESIGN
Bioaction SBS was designed for consistent and efficient construction
of bioretention swales. It includes an engineered overflow pit to meet the FAWB Stormwater Biofiltration System Adoption Guidelines monash.edu.au/fawb/publications/index.html. It is designed and constructed with predetermined overflow points to control anoxic zone in the filtration media and allow unrestricted overflow in a storm event.
The system can be adapted to allow stormwater detention for harvesting in the same pit construction.

ADVANCED FILTRATION MEDIA
FiltaMedia is a specially formulated organic filtration media designed to meet the standards of a bioretention systems. Unlike sand/gravel filter media, FiltaMedia provides a high level of buffering to plants (nutrient exchange and water availability). It is consistent homgenous media mix that significantly reduces the cost of, sourcing mineral filter media and the costs of installing different media substrates.
FiltaMedia is a highly robust media with high hydraulic conductivity, large surface area and up 70% water-holding capacity. It resistsbiological degradation and provides enhanced nutrient removal - physical & biological. FiltaMedia comes in compressed 25kg bales which can be easily handled during installation.

FiltaBoom

FiltaBoom Silt Retention Boom is a new innovation by Bioaction in conjunction with its partner Galuku International. While the concept of a retention boom (wattle) is not new, the use of Bioaction FiltaMedia within Coir Geonetting makes FiltaBoom a very functional solution for silt and contaminate retention. FiltaBoom is a very robust and durable construction that will meet the demands of environmental installations.

Easy and simple installation
Retains suspended solids (silt & organic matter) and contaminates
Allows water infiltration and avoids water backing-up
Open matrix of the FiltaMedia and Coir Geonetting reduces blinding
Robust construction avoids vehicle damage
Natural organi material can be left to incorporate into the landscape
Avoids the use of star pickets and wooden stakes

Avoid the problems of traditional silt retention

Water which flows, or is pumped from land disturbance sites can be contaminated by suspended, dissolved, floatable and settleable soil materials, oils, detergents, litter, fertilisers, alkaline cement materials and other chemicals.

Soil nutrients and chemical pollutants become attached to, and are transported by sediment particles as a result of soil erosion, dewatering of trenches, washing of vehicles, cleaning of concrete supply equipment, careless waste disposal, and other similar incidents.

Many of the traditional silt retention systems used today do not adequately address the problem:

Retaining solid and dissolved contaminates
Providing adequate flow-through to avoid water build up
Preventing water diversion and scouring

FiltaBoom^TM provides the simple, safe and effective solution!

Robust construction

FiltaBoom is made from Coir Geonetting filled with FiltaMedia, which is a renewable, organic fibre resulting from coconut production. It has polymer-like characteristics, making it very robust and structurally sound. Able to resist vehicular damage, it will not degrade under environmental exposure.

Unlike traditional silt retention, FitaBoom can be left on the ground well after use, as it will naturally incorporate into the landscape. Turf strips can be laid on the upside of the slope hard up against the FiltaBoom, covering the exposed seam to increase silt retention and promoting the establishment of grass.

FiltaBoom can also be used for bank stabilisation in drainage swails, and can be used for direct planting into the boom itself.
