Garbage can be transported back to more populated areas where it can be disposed of, but waste water poses a different challenge. If not treated properly, waste water can have long-lasting, negative impact on an area’s natural beauty and biodiversity.
The BIOROCK system can be used to clean domestic waste water using stone wool from Lapinus. The system has been installed in hundreds of off-grid locations around the world. It works silently without the need for external electricity and requires minimal maintenance. The cleaned water can be discharged to the surroundings without having a negative impact on the environment. This solution opens up new possibilities to bring sanitation to even the most remote places so people can experience the joys of nature while at the same time preserving it.
In South Africa, the BIOROCK system was used to clean the waste water of a holiday house where people stay to unwind and enjoy the serene, pristine coastal surroundings.
Key figures:
- Up to 99% cleaning efficiency[1]
- As the system is passive, it is completely Silent

Treatment efficiency
- BOD5: 98.7 % (4 mg/l) (DdK: Biological Oxygen Deficiency = how much organics are taken out)
- COD: 96.3 % (26 mg/l) (DdK: Chemical Oxygen Deficiency = Same as above, different way of measuring)
- SS: 99.3 % (3 mg/l) (DdK: Suspended Solids = How much of the fine particles are removed = How clear is the water)
