Eco-Sep, the solution for waste-water.
Successfully promoting the island paradise - Boracay has become a must-visit place and favorite Philippine local and tourist destination according to Philippine Department of Tourism
For that cause, Boracay have been subject to issues like solid wastes, wastewater and drainage system.
The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) as the primary researcher that may help for that issue had conducted a study and developed solution to sustain the fragrance and and eco-air within Boracay Islands. They developed the Eco-Sep.
What is Eco-Sep? Eco-Sep is an organomineral treatment
used in a self-sustaining and portable wastewater treatment system.
What are organominerals? These are
mineral products formed from interaction of organic matter.
The organominerals enhances the Eco-Sep,
a low-cost method for immediate installation of domestic wastewater clean-up.
Application. To help Boracay solve the problem, the
DOST, through the help of local government unit of Boracay, applied the
treatment in selected Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) and in some hotels
within the beach area. Their team also sprayed organominerals
on biodegradable wastes so that the odor from garbage may also be reduced. A significant reduction in bad odor was
achieved both in hotels and in the MRFs. Meanwhile, in a jar test conducted in a
pumping station in Boracay, it was reported that after applying treatment, the
isolated water changed in color and the bad odor was eliminated.
The DOST said that the LGU is having interest in this technology, since they saw how it addresses the problem on waste-water.
