1. Field Efficacy of VBTTM
Application of VBTTM will:
Reduce accumulated solid wastes.
Reduce power consumption.
Reduce undesirable odors.
Reduce contaminants in discharged. water (Improve water quality).

2. Military Application Deployable Aerobic Aqueous Bioreactor
Military Application Deployable Aerobic Aqueous Bioreactor* (The “DAAB”)
Traditional aeration uses buoyant bubbles
buoyant bubbles float to surface
contact/DO delivery time is minimal
buoyant bubbles are expensive to generate
Aerob-A-Jet bubbles are tiny
vacuum bubbles are created under a partial vacuum
tiny bubbles remain suspended for hours (.25 mm for hours)
they readily diffuse and disperse
optimize aerobic bacterial growth
VBA (Vacuum Bubble Aeration) technology replaces large motors
3 hp can replace a 25 hp motor (traditional aeration)
VBA is maximized with less mixing
Even better results if sludge is not disturbed !!
For high strength wastes, VBA has no equal !
traditional aeration can’t handle BOD above 2-3,000
VBA can handle 9,000 BOD!
Converts anaerobic to aerobic
can dramatically improve aerobic performance in any BOD application
Traditional aeration is very common and well established
numerous large companies with established world-wide market-share
old method of traditional aeration has NSF approval

*Patent Pending

10. Deployable Aerobic Aqueous Bioreactor* - The “DAAB”
A new bioreactor system for treating industrial and municipal wastewaters is easy to deploy and operate.
Produces minimal amounts of sludge and odor.
Fully functional and meets EPA release requirements in less than 24 hours.
*Patent Pending

11. Deployable Aerobic Aqueous Bioreactor* - The “DAAB” continued
Small, flexible foot print.
Can be set up as a self contained, stand alone unit or incorporated into an existing 400 sq ft space.
Low energy (<10 kW/h daily) requirements.
*Patent Pending

12. Deployable Aerobic Aqueous Bioreactor* - The “DAAB” continued
Other uses - sanitation and environmental cleanup for communities affected by natural disasters.
*Patent Pending

13. How DAAB Works
Uses bio-augmentation to optimize the growth of healthy biofilms.
Optimizes the metabolism of selected wild type microorganisms by increasing their collisions with biodegradable waste products.

14. How DAAB Works continued
The system’s VBTTM provides an oxygen saturated environment to maximize aerobic metabolism of the microorganisms.
The DAAB system* utilizes gravity to reduce operational costs.
*Patent Pending

15. What Separates DAAB from Other Portable Wastewater Treatment Units?
DAAB generates very little odor; other systems use aerosols to suppress odor.
DAAB generates approximately 1% sludge; comparable units generate from % sludge.

16. What Separates DAAB from Other Portable Wastewater Treatment Units
What Separates DAAB from Other Portable Wastewater Treatment Units? continued
DAAB produces effluent acceptable to EPA standards within 24 hours following setup.
Comparable units require days to produce an effluent acceptable to EPA standards.

17. What Separates DAAB from Other Portable Wastewater Treatment Units
What Separates DAAB from Other Portable Wastewater Treatment Units? continued
DAAB is a fixed film reactor capable of complete digestion, unlike activated sludge systems that do partial digestion and rely on settling to remove residual organic matter.

18. What Separates DAAB from Other Portable Wastewater Treatment Units
What Separates DAAB from Other Portable Wastewater Treatment Units? continued
DAAB operates on approximately 1/5 power required to operate units with comparable treatment capacities.

The DAAB system* has undergone extensive testing to establish its ability to degrade numerous VOC’s within 24 hours of exposure.
Microorganism degradation of VOC’s is enhanced when provided with the DAAB environment.
In the DAAB environment the microorganisms are resistant to VOC concentrations in excess of 80 ppm.
