Biological treatment

Biological treatment for the home, the project and the municipality.

Three plants for the most common sites in South America: biological, chemical-free and odour-free. From a private home without a sewer connection to a housing development or a small municipality of three thousand population equivalents.

Our plants

Three plants, three needs.

  • AQUATO PUMP compact plant with submersible pumps

    PUMP

    SBR pump technology for 4 to 28 people. The classic for private homes without a sewer connection and small groups of homes. Compact, easy to maintain and CE certified in Germany (EN 12566-3).

  • STABI-KOM polyethylene tank for biological treatment

    STABI-KOM

    SSB® process with no electronics in the wastewater, from four to fifty population equivalents. AQUATO's best-selling plant in Germany: fully biological, low-maintenance and with a long service life. The high-quality option for homes and small developments.

  • AQUATO ORKA plant in cross-section

    ORKA

    SSB® process, sized to measure for up to three thousand population equivalents. For hotels, resorts, housing projects by property developers and rural municipalities. With PROCloud remote maintenance and expandable in construction phases.

Our approach

The right model, not the most expensive one.

One of our three plants fits around 90% of sites in South America: PUMP, STABI-KOM or ORKA. We recommend the one that suits your site, not the most expensive one. For truly special cases (a site with no power grid, a need to scale up very far), our manufacturer AQUATO has other systems, which we go through in the consultation.

Backed by AQUATO

Behind our plants is a German family business.

AQUATO Umwelttechnologien GmbH has been building decentralised treatment plants since 2007 in Herford, North Rhine-Westphalia. The PUMP and STABI-KOM compact plants carry the CE mark to EN 12566-3, the trusted European standard. What has proven itself in more than 70,000 systems worldwide works just as reliably in South America.

Five of its own factories in Germany manufacture the tanks, so the supply chain is tangible and short. We do not sell a white-label product, but plants with a clear origin. AQUATO is a family business, not a corporate group.

Since 2015 a PUMP demonstration plant has been running in Chile as part of our distribution partnership. On request, property developers, municipalities and future partners can visit it.
