Product description

The BioFiltro BIDA® System is a revolutionary wastewater treatment technology that harnesses the power of earthworms and beneficial microbes to efficiently break down organic matter in wastewater. This patented vermifiltration system operates by allowing wastewater to flow through layers of organic media inhabited by earthworms, where pollutants are rapidly digested and filtered.

Unlike traditional treatment methods that can take days to produce clean water, the BIDA® System achieves this in just four hours, making it a highly efficient and time-saving solution. The system is designed to be scalable, allowing it to adapt to varying wastewater volumes, and is incredibly energy-efficient, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.

One of the key innovations of the BIDA® System is its ability to produce vermicompost, a nutrient-rich soil amendment, from the worm castings generated during the treatment process. This circular resource recovery approach not only helps in waste reduction but also supports sustainable agriculture practices by providing a valuable organic fertilizer.

With successful deployments in agriculture, food processing, wineries, and municipal projects, the BioFiltro solution has proven its versatility and effectiveness across diverse sectors, showcasing its potential to revolutionize wastewater treatment practices.
