Traditional septic systems only perform about 30 - 40% of wastewater treatment inside the tank. This means that septic effluent is still 60 - 70% untreated when it flows into the drainfield, where the treatment continues in the soil. Using his background in design and manufacturing of NSF 40 aerobic treatment units, RioVation founder Gig Drewery began R&D on ways to treat the effluent to a higher level before it leaves the tank. The result of his research is the BioMaze™ Fixed Film Media, kits that can convert septic tanks into a biofilm reactor, which performs 90+% of the treatment inside the tank. This makes the effluent clear and odorless, typically with CBOD5 and TSS levels in the single digit, thus better for the drainfield and the environment. According to university research and RioVation’s® field experience, drainfields clogged with biomat will be rejuvenated, brought back to life in a matter of a few weeks to a few months depending on the extent of the biomat issue. By converting the existing septic tank into a biofilm reactor, the effluent becomes high in dissolved oxygen, killing problem-causing microbes in the soil and introduces aerobic microbes which consume the biomat. BioMaze® will also protect drainfields against future failures.
RioVation® has a line of BioMaze® product in commercial/high strength models which can be incorporated into designs utilizing existing on retrofit projects or new tankage on new projects.
RioVation® also manufacturers a line of mini filtered pump vaults that suspend within a riser on the outlet end of the tank to provide level control when required.

SludgeHammer Group, Ltd. - New for 2023!

SludgeHammer Group, Ltd., manufactures and markets technology developed in 2000 for the purpose of recovering percolation in biomat clogged on-site leachfields. The core component is a patented device that acts as a bio-reactor placed directly into existing septic tanks. This device circulates and aerates the contents of the septic tank, moving these contents of the tank through the unit up to 20 times a day. The device is inoculated with a specific proprietary blend of facultative bacteria that have a demonstrated capability to digest the anaerobic slime-producing mucous that clogs the leach trench via the process of fermentation. This process was tested under IAPMO Standard IGC180-2003 to demonstrate effectiveness in clearing clogged soils and has been certified and listed under that standard since 2004.
Experience with the technology over the last two decades showed that as the SludgeHammer worked to restore percolation in existing leach trenches it also treated the contents of the septic tanks to advanced secondary treatment quality. SludgeHammer, therefore, tested under the NSF-40 standard and has maintained NSF-40 listing and certification since 2008.
The SludgeHammer system is particularly economical since it is designed to treat in any sufficiently-sized standard septic tank so the bulk of the infrastructure can be locally obtained. The only mechanical portion of the system is the linear air blower that is housed outside the system at any convenient locale. Maintenance is simple and involves an annual inspection and reinoculation with the bacterial blend. The treatment occurs in the inlet chamber and eliminates the need for frequent pumping.
Abundant field sampling has shown a high level of compliance to treatment goals. SludgeHammer has developed an extensive national and international distribution network focusing on high-quality companies in the design, maintenance and installation categories in the on-site industry.
