DID YOU KNOW? A Truck Stop wastewater influent can be anything combining a gas station, restaurant(s), grocery store, rest area with showers and/or a campground?

With great anticipation in 2018, Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores purchased 2 land sites in Illinois for the development of its newest convenience stations.

The following video is the installation of the wastewater treatment plant, the BioMicrobics® BioBarrier® HSMBR® System in Wadsworth, Illinois. Construction on this new convenience station began early in 2019.

This BioBarrier® HSMBR® System is designed for larger commercial, high strength flows – perfect for the Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores!

The HSMBR® “6-pack” configuration allows for easier “plug & Play” installation and maintenance.

The BioBarrier® system comes equipped with a new smart, touch screen controller.

The tanks, made by Wieser Concrete Products (www.wieserconcrete.com) is set in the ground before our BioBarrier HSMBR commercial wastewater treatment system gets installed directly in the tanks.

A 7700 gallon trash tank with six 8″ SaniTEEs; then, two 38,500 gallon tanks for the BioBarrier HSMBR system, followed by a 10,000 sludge storage tank. And finally, a 3000 gallon tank to pump filtrate to the fire storage tank and surface discharge. No need for any disinfection, the system is designed to handle 10,000 gallons per day normal flow with a 15,000 gallon per day peak flow of greater than 1000 mg/l BOD5 influent and removes 99.9% of the contaminants.

This “scaled up” version of the certified NSF®/ANSI® Standard 350 for water reuse, the BioBarrier® HSMBR® adheres to strict water quality guidelines offering more opportunities for water recycling. Great Work, Kurt Bihler, BihlerTech Towers & BioMicrobics Illinois!
