Product or process

The Biolytix® System is a compact waste treatment system that converts raw sewage, wastewater, and food waste into high quality irrigation water on site. The Biolytix® system removes solid wastes from wastewater immediately. Then selected worms, beetles, and microscopic organisms convert the waste into structured humus, which acts as a filter to turn the waste into garden irrigation. It needs no chemicals and produces irrigation water that is safe for the environment.

The biomimicry story

The inventor, Dean Cameron, was inspired by observing how forest litter decomposes. The Biolytix® filter mimics the intricate natural conditions that cause decomposition of debris on a river's edge.
