The simple answer to this questions is no, the BiobiN® doesn’t smell. As long as the simple housekeeping rules are followed;

• Manage your wet:dry ratio’s.
• Don’t leave the lid open
• Undertake routine checks

The pipes disconnect from the bin unit so it get be maneuvered independently of the filter unit. It the bin unit is required to be transported any distance, plugs are placed into the pipe points to prevent any chance of any material dislodging from inside the bin during transport.

Any carbon based material is fine. The BIGGEST consideration is that it needs to be dry! Wet material will eventually flood the system.

Nothing precise, keep it simple! Start with a 1:1 ratio of dry carbon material to wet waste, i.e. poultry. If you start to see moisture building around the edges or bubbles appearing when the fan is on, increase the dry carbon material to 2 parts and 1 wet organic part.

• Leaving the power off and the lids open, and then it rains.
• Not putting in any or enough dry material.

These might sound like simple things to do, and they are, but these are the biggest challenges we regularly face.

Weekly draining of condensate, commonly done by the customer.

3 monthly system check for leaks, cracks, etc., twice yearly filter cartridge change and annual biofilter media change, commonly undertaken by the service provider but can be undertaken by the customer.

The idea of the BiobiN® is that it commences processing on site and only requires to be emptied when it’s full – which maximises transport efficiencies. This time frame can vary between locations and uses, and can be as often as every week or as long as a year. Your BiobiN® technologist can determine when yours will need emptying.
