Although ReCip®, can easily treat many forms of domestic waste, individual
homeowner systems have not been designed or installed
until recently.
Many areas of the country are plagued with marginal
lands that will not allow land owners to receive a standard
septic permit thereby minimizing building development.
The need is there to provide an effective and affordable
waste treatment solution to service these marginal lands.
BioConcepts has redesigned the typical open cell ReCip
system for individual homeowner use. The two open ReCip
cells have been enclosed into a two celled tank that
can be installed between a septic tank and effluent
disposal field. The buried ReCip system is designed
to provide the required treatment to allow a permit
for installation on marginal lands.
The newly designed homeowner system is currently under
evaluation by the National Sanitation Foundation, one
of the evaluation arms of the Environmental Protection
Agency. The evaluation concluded at the end of 2003.
An Innovative Permit will be sought as soon as practical.

before transporting to the NSF Evaluation Site at Buzzards
Bay.
The two black pipes (risers) designate
the location of the two ReCip cells inside the tank.
The tank is constructed from corrugated aluminum pipe
that has been vacuum tested to state standards.
The tank is approximately 10 feet long and designed
to treat up to 500 gallons of domestic wastewater per
day.

Site. The risers have vented lids to allow needed air
to reach the treatment area.
A simple control panel controls the ReCip system,
a dosing tank if required, and necessary alarms.
