An experienced specialist's eye can distinguish a quality product from a counterfeit just by its appearance. But not all buyers are experts in wastewater treatment.
Therefore, unscrupulous managers try to sell systems that only simulate the wastewater treatment process, convincing the buyer that they shouldn't overpay for "BIOTAL."
Others cut corners in the production of their installations: on the materials used for the installation's casing, on the reliability of the components and parts, on the number of blowers, on the automation. For example, if such a unit is filled with water and air is supplied to it, the buyer gets the illusion that the processes occurring there are the same as in the "BIOTAL" unit. But the buyer is unaware that for normal wastewater treatment at the stated capacity of the unit, it is necessary to supply twice as much oxygen to the unit, and for that, not one, but two, or even three blowers are needed.
In wastewater biological treatment facilities, it is essential to provide a system for recirculating activated sludge between treatment zones, measures for effectively retaining coarse impurities, a system for automatic removal of excess activated sludge, etc.
Such imitators in their advertisements will provide you with detailed information on how to perform preparatory work, how to install the system so that groundwater does not push it out, how to arrange drainage and its ventilation, but you will not receive a detailed description of the technological processes of wastewater treatment that occur within the system itself, because there is nothing to describe there. Therefore, until a clear system for controlling the quality of treated wastewater is established in our country, such unfair competition will thrive.
