Clean Water Act
The Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 (Republic Act No. 9275)
aims to protect the country’s water bodies from pollution from
land-based sources (industries and commercial establishments,
agriculture and community/household activities).
What are the prohibited acts under The Clean Water Act?
Among others, the Act prohibits the following:
1. Discharging or depositing any water pollutant to the water
body.
2. Discharging, injecting or allowing to enter into the soil,
anything that would pollute groundwater.
3. Operating facilities that discharge regulated water pollutants
without the valid required permits.
Prohibited Acts
Among others, the Act prohibits the following:
Design
• A suspended/fixed growth biological treatment processes used to
consume organic matter (BOD) from wastewater.
• Consists of 2-4 m diameter disks, closely spaced on a rotating
horizontal axis.
• Disks are covered with a biofilm.
• The disks are only partially submerged in wastewater.
• As the disk rotates the biofilm is exposed to the wastewater only part
of the time.
• The rotation in and out of the wastewater serves to vary the feeding
cycle (starve/gorge) of the bacteria and microorganisms that make
up the biofilm.
• The shaft rotates about about 1-2 rpm (slowly).
• Some advantages: Less Upset, High Loading Rate, Nitrification/De-
nitrification, Low O&M Cost, Durable Constructions, Odorless, No
Noise.
How it works
RBC Package Plants
Three separate processes (primary settlement, bio-contactor and final
clarification) are combined in a single tank enclosed by low-profile
covers. The integral primary tank collects and stores screenings and
detritus and provides 90 days sludge storage to remove the need for
separate on-site facilities, thus reducing capital and operational costs.
RBC Package Plants are generally supplied for small and medium
populations; where populations are large, multiple units can be used in
parallel.
Modular RBCs
Generally used for large populations, in a modular system in both primary
and final settlement tanks are separated from the biological treatment
zone. Using individual tanks for each of the three unit processes provides
the greatest flexibility in process design and site layout. The Primary
section may be either a sealed septic or a conical upward flow settlement
tank. Biological treatment takes place in the self-contained Bio-Contactor
which may be installed in either a GRP or concrete tank. Final settlement
occurs in an upward flow clarifier.
Operation &
Maintenance
Operating a stand alone facility like our treatment system brings
a lot of challenge. Normally, most designers are not prepared to
do it or sometimes are faced with very costly prospects to have it
done "in-house". With these considerations in mind, we offer
our services to operate and maintain the treatment facilities that
we have installed. Our years of experience give us the edge and
confidence to operate and provide the best treatment for your
specific wastewater issues. We are sharing this confidence with
you as we build mutual trust and partnerships to clean our
environment. Indeed it is our pride to be operating a system
which is truly our own - a Filipino ingenuity.

Principles of RBC-PMT
DISCS
An array of discs (3m diameter) which are made of
some light synthetic material (Amazon screen) will
keep on rotating via the horizontal axis at a rather
slow speed (1.5 rpm) inside a wastewater
treatment tank.
BIOMASS
A microbial film or a layer of sludge that will
digest all the organic pollutants during the
process and degrade it biologically.
BREATHING-PHASE
The upper half of the rotating disc will have
access to the ambient air (breathing phase) to
take up oxygen so that the BIOMASS will exist
and the biological degradation of the organic
pollutants inside the wastewater will take place.
EATING-PHASE
While the lower half of the rotating discs is half
submerged to the wastewater to take up organic
pollutants in order to undergo the treatment
process.
