OPERATING & MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
If you have not subscribed to a service and maintenance contract, consult a BIOROCK® Certified or
a BIOROCK® trained and approved company for the maintenance on your sewage treatment plant.
Contact your dealer if necessary or contact us for more details about the closest dealer to you.
The summary below indicates the commissioning of your sewage treatment plant.
Your sewage treatment plant can be free from any failures as the BIOROCK® system does not require
electricity. (In normal operation, and following the maintenance recommendations)
GENERALLY:
