Cleanwater Farm - Nutrient Recycling

A new kind of nutrient recycling is coming to Northwest Arkansas

Northwest Arkansas has been experiencing tremendous growth in the past few years which utilities have been struggling to keep up with.

BBB Septic is proud to bring a new kind of nutrient reccycling to the area in the form of our Cleanwater Farm. A brand new start-to-finish filtration and recycling process utilizing wastewater.

Here’s how it works...

Our team collects wastewater from septic and portable toilet customers in our region

The wastewater is carried to the nearest drop off point and the wastewater is transferred to a holding tank through a filter which removes trash and large debris

Our bulk hauler pulls from the storage tanks and blends natural additives in to the load which kills the pathogens and bacteria and also neutralizes the odor

Once the second filtering process is complete, the liquid either goes to a holding tank to await the de-watering process, or, it is transferred to our land application vehicle, aka “The Beast”, which will apply the liquid on the properly designated fields where we grow hay for livestock uses

The liquid that is held over for de-watering will be saved until there is sufficient liquid for a full de-watering cycle and will be stirred periodically to make sure the solids stay suspended, instead of all settling to the bottom of the tank

Once there is enough liquid for a full cycle, the liquid is pumped through a polymer blending system and in to the de-watering unit

The released clear water flows out of the de-watering unit to another holding tank. The clean water in holding goes to one of two places: Our tree farm or the designated, large absorption areas

The tree farm uses the nutrient rich clean water for irrigation of the trees which are being grown for retail purposes such as decorative evergreens and oak and maple varieties to be used in landscaping

The absorption area takes any excess clean water and allows it to naturally flow back down through the soil for further purification and will eventually re-enter the underground water tables

The solids that are separated from the water will be used as fertilizer on designated fields or will be put through a process to create bio-char which is a charcoal used for heating fuel and also can be used as a charcoal filter additive for use in chicken and turkey grow houses for absorbing toxins out of the air like ammonia

Adding Cleanwater Farm to the wastewater picture in NWA ensures that every gallon we process in our system is helping relieve the pressure on the municipal wastewater systems.
