The BioBarrier® HSMBR® (High Strength Membrane Bioreactor) Systems help meet the increasingly stringent needs of specialized applications. The membranes and processes used in this advanced system act as an impenetrable physical barrier for nearly all common pollutants found in wastewater today. The advanced technology offers the highest quality effluent possible on the market. The BioBarrier® MBR was the first system to be approved for water reuse (NSF/ANSI Std 350, class R) by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) International.
BioMicrobics has grown from one product focused on single-family, decentralized wastewater treatment into a multi-faceted corporation.

With distributors in more than 80 countries and 80,000 installations worldwide, we provide end-clients with high-performance technology solutions for removing 90-99.9% of contaminants from polluted blackwater and greywater sources.
Case Studies
Bayview is an unincorporated community located on the eastern shore of VA, in Northampton County. This 300 year-old community grew significantly with an influx of recently freed slaves after the Civil War, and to this day, largely comprises African American residents. In 1998, Bayview Citizens for Social Justice formed to install, for the first time, a water and wastewater treatment system.
New Products/Announcements

We can custom build any size unit for any use. Our systems can be engineered to accommodate any size work force in any weather.
Possible uses:
Oil Platforms, Dock barges, Oil rigs, Construction sites, Pipelines, Parks and Recreation
Wastewater lift stations are designed to move wastewater from lower to higher elevation, particularly where the elevation of the source is not sufficient for gravity flow.
Custom built systems are available, with many options, such as grinder/macerator pumps.
Wastewater Solutions - Residential and Commercial
The RetroFAST® wastewater treatment systems are designed in 3 specific sizes for 1 to up to 8 persons living on the property.
The BioMicrobics FAST® systems provide significantly improved nitrification/denitrification performance over traditional systems and exceeding typical effluent requirements for wastewater recycling opportunities or reducing the size of the leach field with less aesthetic disturbance of property value or system components. Offering versatility and consistent high performance, the FAST® are also a favorite on marine vessels and offshore platforms of all types to produce high-quality effluent, specifically designed for extreme environments.
Unobtrusive and dependable, the FAST® system handles smaller, variable flows generated from onsite applications. The clean effluent prevents biomat formation and leachfield clogging. This septic technology is very compatible with shallow drip, direct discharge, pressure distribution, spray irrigation, and conventional leachfield.
MacroFITT® is a scaled-up version of the FAST process that is engineered for the needs of community wastewater with flows in the 200,000 GPD – 2 million GPD range. This system is an advanced wastewater treatment system that uses Fixed Activated Sludge Treatment (FAST) to break down organic material and nutrients in wastewater.
Single-Family, Decentralized Membrane Bioreactor Systems that Meet Future Effluent Standards
Greatly exceeding effluent requirements found in local regulations, this system produces high-quality effluent that provides new opportunities for wastewater reuse projects. NSF/ANSI Standard 40/245/350 and EN12566-3 certified.
The FITT-ee® product line was created with energy efficiency (“ee”) in mind. The FITT-ee systems operate on the same principles as the traditional FAST line, but with cost effective treatment, requiring less electrical power.
RetroFITT-ee® — Equivalent to the RetroFAST®, but with lower energy consumption
MicroFITT-ee® — Equivalent to the MicroFAST®, but with lower energy consumption
Unobtrusive and dependable, the FAST® system handles smaller, variable flows generated from onsite applications. The clean effluent prevents biomat formation and leachfield clogging. This septic technology is very compatible with shallow drip, direct discharge, pressure distribution, spray irrigation, and conventional leachfield.
The SeptiTech STAAR™ Commercial Trickling filter systems screen and remove non-degradable particles from raw sewage. The simple, automatic and reliable equalization and clarification process of the STAAR™ biological trickling filter technology also maintains low levels of Nitrate-N with all below-grade components that fit in readily available concrete, plastic or fiberglass tanks.

The RollsAIR®, RollsAIR® XL, and RollsAIR® XXL Extended Aeration Systems offer a cost-effective method and versatility to treat larger flows for a multitude of applications.
The complete RollsAIR™ System uses the MyTEE® in the “headworks" zone, to screen trash and settle grit. The MyTEE® Screen deflects non-soluble solids to stay in the vault. All non-biological screened and settled items require periodic - NOT daily maintenance from the MyTEE® Vault. The easy maintenance of the MyTEE®'s patented Clean-in-Place swab alleviates the need for manual raking from non-biological solids.
Stormwater Solutions
The d-Rain Joint is a filter inserted into concrete expansion joints that allows rainwater and other runoff to filter into the native soil without pooling or contributing to excessive off-flows of stormwater. The drainage channel is less than 1 inch wide and comes equipped with a removable, washable mesh filter. As an alternative to permeable concrete and paving stones, the d-Rain Joint® is cheaper and easier to install and maintain.
Pre-engineered stormwater treatment system removes trash, sediment, oil and other pollutants from stormwater runoff. The BioSTORM®'s unique off-line design consists of a patented StormTEE® self-cleaning deflector screen and a modular separation/coalescing unit, all housed in readily-available precast concrete tanks. The versatility of the system allows components to be used separately for different applications, or together to form a complete BioSTORM system. Various sizes are available depending on local site and environmental considerations.
Water Solutions
Scienco® SciCHLOR® Sodium Hypochlorite Generator with SciCELL® technology is a fully automated, pre-packaged on-site hypochlorite system designed for economical installation, safe operation and easy maintenance to safely and efficiently make chlorine on demand.
Greywater Solutions
Other Treatment Solutions
BioSTEP® makes it easier to design an effluent sewer system for an entire community. We can assist you with designing the hydraulic grade lines, selecting pump systems and packages, transport line sizing, and any other key details for successful effluent sewer design.
The MyTEE® screen separates suspended solids from wastewater, preventing large particles from being passed on to downstream processes. MyTEE screens are typically used to remove solids ahead of large (greater than 10,000 GPD) advanced treatment systems, particularly the MyFAST® wastewater treatment system.
Our family of affordable detergents and cleaners are available to meet the multiple needs of a variety of unique applications.
We strive to make the safest and most effective cleaners on the market. Ideal for use with biological wastewater (septic) treatment systems to not cause upset conditions with treatment water quality, Mighty Mike® complies to biodegradable standards.
BioRobic® is a coarse-bubble submerged aeration system that provides supplemental aeration within the BioBarrier® HSMBR® or BioBarrier® HSMBR® Winery systems. Increased oxygen in the MLSS of the BioBarrier treatment tank increases breakdown of biological material.
Marine Solutions
MarineFAST® Systems are commonly referred to as a Type II (two) MSD biological (aerobic digestion) treatment system. The Type II MSD systems are powerful, flow-through discharge devices and tested in conditions described in 33 CFR 159.121. MarineFAST® Marine Sewage Treatment Marine and offshore sewage treatment systems built to handle extreme environments. All MarineFAST® (Fixed Activated Sludge Treatment) units are fully certified by US Coast Guard under U.S. and IMO regulations.
