A wastewater solution
Regenerative By Nature
Restorative by Design
Our patented Biodynamic Aerobic (BIDA®) System catalyzes the digestive power of worms and microbes to remove up to 99% of wastewater contaminants within four hours. In doing so, we produce high quality water which can be reused for agricultural irrigation, discharged to the city at reduced fees, or disposed of over fewer acres to meet if not exceed nutrient management goals. We also generate worm castings which is a nutritious and valuable soil amendment utilized to improve crop yield, soil health, and carbon sequestration. Coupled with studies that show we reduce GHG emissions by 91%, we offer a high impact nature based solution.
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
BioFiltro strives to receive and process wastewater as it is generated to reduce potential for odors and methane generation.
Water flows from the source point and, if necessary, through a solid separator before arriving to an equalization tank. Here, BioFiltro’s telemetry system monitors the water’s characteristics, adjusts pH if necessary, and triggers the intermittent irrigation batch process.

Worms are simultaneously hermaphroditic and can lay 150 – 200 cocoons each year, which is about 400 – 600 future employees! The average worm lifespan is 6 years so we gain and retain a lot of employees each year!
The gut is rich in microbes which help us propagate and maintain our biofilm while also assisting in the nitrification denitrification process.
Each worm can produce up to 10 pounds of castings per year which maintains rich
microbial activity within our system.
Furthermore, when harvested, castings can be utilized by farmers, gardeners, and processors to increase crop yield, soil health, and water retention.
