Poo-Gloo - igloo-shaped devices that eat waste

Inexpensive devices in the form of the igloo, which is literally food contamination, of a mile a mentioned Poo-Gloo can clean sewage as effective as treatment plants, waste worth several million dollars in cities that outgrew its lagoon waste water treatment, according to a new study.Treatment of wastewater in small, rural communities is an important and challenging task of engineers. Appropriate treatment includes disinfection and removal of unwanted contaminants.Most rural communities rely on the lagoon for collecting waste water as a primary method of treatment because they are simple and inexpensive to manage. Lagoons are actually a large pool in which the sewage holding from one month to one year to be deposited solids, and sunlight, bacteria, wind and other natural processes clean water, sometimes with the help of aeration.But as communities grow and cleaning of pollution is becoming weaker, more conventional lagoons to collect waste water can no longer provide adequate treatment.Poo-Gloo is designed to address the problems faced by companies that grow their own sewage lagoon. The device provides a great surface on which bacteria can grow, thus ensuring the microbial air and dark environment in order to continually consume pollutants from sewage with a minimum of rivalry algae.

Poo-Gloo-use and advanced bacterial biofilm to consume contaminants. Two dozen or more Poo-Gloo in the form of the igloo is placed at the bottom of the lagoon, submerged completely and arranged in rows.Each Poo-Gloo consists of sets of four plastic dome, which is progressively reduced and are one of the other like Russian 'babushka', and are filled with plastic containers to ensure a large surface area for bacterial growth. Seals on the pipes to drain the bubbles are located at the bottom of each Poo-Gloo and emit bubbles of air through the cavity between the domes. The air coming out of the hole at the top of the dome. As the air moves through the dome, also pushes water from the lagoon bottom to the top of the dome.Each Poo-Gloo occupies 2.6 square feet of space at the bottom of the lagoon, which makes 260 square meters of free space for the growth of bacteria. The combination of large surface area, aeration, continuous mixing and dark environment that limits the algal growth rate approaching destruction of contaminants in Poo-Gloo, the rate of mechanical plant.
