Unit Biofiltration Ecoflo Premier Tech Environment develops and markets innovative technologies, efficient and economical for the treatment decentralized wastewater requiring a minimum of operations and maintenance. In its product range it has, Biofilters Ecoflo ®, a treatment system based peat for the treatment of domestic sewage. With the RotoFixMD, EcoflexMD and BioSegMD, it makes commercial projects, community, municipal and industrial. It also specializes in the treatment of wastewater such leach ate (sanitary landfill). It also offers a full range of products including high-performance devices; septic prefilters, posts pumping accessories polyethylene septic concrete separators flows, and so on. Premier Tech Environment is one of the few companies, if not the only one in the industry sanitation decentralized, to maintain a professional service unmatched before, during and after the completion of a project and also throughout the useful life of facilities its systems wastewater treatment ..
Application residential
The Biofiltre Ecoflo ® is a treatment system fully independent, consisting of a box of fiberglass small and a filter-based peat moss specially treated. Its design allows it to handle a volume of 1 000 liters of water per day.
The process is simple; wastewater from the septic tank are transported in the box and are evenly distributed over the entire surface of the filter through a distribution system gravity. The water is then purified in percolating through the filter-based turf and eventually evacuated by infiltration into the ground or a dilution in a watercourse continuous flow (according to the regulations in force).
Applications commercial, institutional and community
The results obtained by the system biofiltration Ecoflo ® in the residential area have allowed its adaptation to the conditions of use of certain communities and businesses (restaurants, hotels, residences reunification, etc…). Under these conditions, the installation of several biofilters Ecoflo ® is necessary. The addition of a pumping station out of the septic tank and a separator flow can be prescribed to distribute water to the various systems for biofiltration.
Performances
Performance physico-chemical and biological micro-based filter bed of peat allow retention of 90% of suspended solids (TSS), degradation of 95% of biodegradable organic matter and the reduction of 99% of pathogenic organisms (coliform ).

Who's who?
Consumers are sensitive to price increases of water. They are all the more that these increases are not always linked to an improvement in the quality of service rendered.Twenty consumer organisations are now officially approved at national level to represent consumers and defend their interests. Their action is relayed to the local level by many other associations, federated for each region by a Regional Centre Technique de la Consommation.
Consumers are also represented in the National Committee on Water, body formulating opinions on certain public decisions taken in the field of water.
The mayor and city council choose the mode of management is most appropriate for the services of drinking water and sanitation in their commune. Whatever the mode of management chosen, they are responsible for the quality and cost of each service, their proper functioning and therefore also the techniques used.
The mayor must approve any change in the price of water. It is the main person in the event of a dispute arising in this connection with consumers.
The information that the mayor must provide users have been extended with the law on strengthening environmental protection. The mayor must now submit an annual report detailing the conditions of financing, billing, operation and development of services of drinking water and wastewater treatment.

 The lifespan of facilities, and their effectiveness requires that we obtain a balance of water. It must contain a concentration of carbon dioxide such as calcium entertains bicarbonates. Conversely, it should not contain too much concentration of carbon dioxide that would make water aggressive. A water entertains deposits of calcium carbonate in the filters and hinders their operation, in pipes and reduced their speed on the walls of the pool where s'incrustent micro-organisms, the floodgates whose handling becomes difficult.
An aggressive water, it corrodes pipes and metal parts.
We should not be a chemist to balance water from a spa. Quite simply… And no, you do not need to test tubes!
Water treatment
The disinfectant (chlorine or bromine) is determined to 3-5 ppm (part per million). The bacteria will be removed continuously. Bromine, unlike chlorine, is effective even after the disinfection operation, the smell is much less active and cause less irritation. The use of tablets is simpler, more convenient and gives the pH more stable. Even if your spa is equipped with an ozone generator, chemical treatments and slow shocks remain essential. Bromine has a disinfectant and oxidant superior to conventional disinfectants, better tolerance compared to the pH: the ideal pH of the water is between 7.0 and 7.4. When the pH reached eight, 87% of components disinfectants bromine remain active, against 33% only in the case of chlorine.

Climate change, which affects weather patterns, precipitation and the hydrological cycle, and hence the availability of surface water, soil moisture and food on groundwater, could cause an increase in the size and the frequency of natural disasters related to rainfall floods, droughts, landslides, hurricanes and cyclones. And, therefore, cause major waves of "environmental refugees". If current projections are confirmed, with a climate more irregular in coming years, crop yields would be threatened as in developed countries than in developing countries, and nearly 3 billion people are exposed to shortages of water.
In large parts of Eastern Europe, Western Russia, central Canada and California, the peak flows of rivers are now stored in winter, because the proportion of rainfall compared to the snow is more important, and the runoff reaches the rivers more quickly. In the basins of Niger, Lake Chad and Senegal, which are part of the catchment the biggest in Africa, the total quantity of water available has already fallen by 40% to 60%.
If drastic changes of the water cycle is widespread, trends in the past can no longer provide reliable models to predict the management of water resources in the future. New models will be implemented to anticipate floods and droughts, determine the size of water and decide on the allocation of resources between the domestic, industrial and agricultural. The implications are very heavy, if one considers that the annual global investment in water infrastructure represents 500 billion dollars, and that it is done based on the assumption, already outdated, according to that the water cycle oscillerait within relatively narrow observed in the past.
Flight to technological advance
To meet the challenge of resource depletion, failing to challenge development models generating excessive levies, waste and pollution, the temptation is a leak ahead fraught with technological risks, and generating new inequalities.

Sewage waters are not polluted drinking water. They contain 99.9% water, solid and other chemicals. There are also viruses and microorganisms: coli form, streptococci, the bacteria spore and anaerobic, proteus and intestinal bacteria. Other microorganisms from sewage industrial waste.
There are four broad categories of wastewater:
The waters of domestic waters are arranged, mainly belonging to the bathrooms and kitchens loaded fat, detergents, solvents, etc. .....
The industrial water: have a different composition across industries may contain solvents, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, etc. ....., but also toxic products.
Storm water: can be charged with impurity in contact with air, then dripping; residue deposited on the roofs and shoes cities (oil drain, fuel and tire residues, heavy metals, etc. .. ...
Sump belonging mainly to the release of toilets, in charge of various organic substances containing nitrogen and germs.
In most cases, the sanitation system is unitary, all these waters mixtures into sewers, which complicates their treatment that this is one of the major problems. On the other by, in case of heavy rain, it rains be a shedding process, ie a spill too full of sewage into the environment. Finally, flooding can cause pollution.
The treatment of their waste is required before their disposal, because if untreated the facts following occur:
A great read spread of pathogens.
An increased danger of using natural waters as a source of drinking water.
The contamination of oysters and other seafood, thus making them unfit for consumption.
Large losses in aquatic game.
Increased risk for swimming in contaminated water and the loss of value of water for other recreational purposes.
The depletion of oxygen, which can lead to the disappearance of aquatic life.
The emergence of adverse conditions as bad odors or an accumulation of debris.
Before, wastewater is collected by sanitation systems built-up areas, then they are moved to a sewage treatment plant or they will undergo several phases of treatment.
