I. Clean version——Water-Saving: A Technical Loop Centered on “Process Integration + Resource Reuse”
The design philosophy of the Clean version stems from the ultimate pursuit of the “on-site treatment, on-site reuse” concept for decentralized wastewater. Its technical core lies in the integration of a self-developed M2B2R (Sequencing Batch Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) biochemical unit and an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) advanced treatment unit, forming an efficient, stable, and shock-resistant process chain.
Our self-developed M2B2R biochemical unit utilizes a one-time dose of bacterial inoculum and specially configured suspended biofilm carriers as microbial habitats, creating a highly efficient biofilm system. Its “sequencing batch” operation mode, controlled by timing sequences (Anoxic/Anaerobic/Aerobic), achieves simultaneous and highly efficient removal of organic matter (COD), ammonia nitrogen, and total nitrogen. The moving media significantly increases biomass retention and mass transfer efficiency, enabling the system to maintain high degradation rates even under COD shock loads ≤ 800 mg/L, ensuring effluent COD remains stable at ≤ 60 mg/L.
Our Advanced oxidation process safeguard system is equally important. Following the biochemical unit, the system integrates Heterogeneous Catalytic Ozonation with an optional Electrocatalytic Oxidation unit. Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation enhances the removal of color, odor, and trace organic compounds, ensuring effluent color ≤ 30 dilution factor and excellent sensory indicators. The Electrocatalytic oxidation unit generates highly oxidizing •OH radicals on the electrode surface, enabling the ring-opening, chain-breaking, and complete mineralization of refractory organic matter. This dual “biological + physico-chemical” safeguard process allows stable daily treatment capacity within the 0.3-1.5 t/d range and is also the key to achieving the limit requirements of effluent water quality as stated in the table. This makes the water safe for direct reuse in yard irrigation, landscape supplementation, or toilet flushing.

Note: The designed influent water is the effluent from septic tanks or collection tanks after mixing domestic black water and grey water.
We go beyond perfecting the process, also refining energy and system integration technologies. The system comes standard with 50W photovoltaic modules and high-efficiency lithium-ion battery storage modules, coordinated via an Intelligent Energy Manager (IEM) for “solar-storage-use” synergy. Under typical sunlight conditions, the system’s average daily energy consumption can be controlled within 85W, enabling genuine “off-grid” operation. The energy system is specifically optimized for the power demands of the water treatment unit, prioritizing solar power dispatch, with the storage unit supplying power to core equipment (e.g., water pumps, blowers) during non-sunlight hours, ensuring process continuity.
To suit different global climate zones, especially cold regions, the Clean version offers an optional active insulation system. We innovatively employ “heat recovery and temperature control technology” – for instance, efficiently recovering heat generated by blower operation to naturally raise water temperature. Additionally, advanced aerosol insulation materials and a tightly sealed industrial insulation structure design fully equip the system for temperature control and retention. This allows stable outdoor operation even in extremely cold regions, without excessive additional electricity consumption for heating, achieving a technical level where system energy consumption in cold northern winter regions is locked at 0–3 kWh. It perfectly adapts to harsh northern climates, fortifying water conservation efforts with a warm line of defense, ensuring continuous, stable wastewater treatment and water-saving performance even under low-temperature conditions. This completely resolves the issue of treatment efficiency plummeting in winter for traditional equipment.
Regarding user experience, Plop Phantom® is equally meticulous. Addressing operational noise, we employ a triple guarantee: low-noise blowers, acoustic insulation media, and vibration damping design. Practical tests confirm operational noise levels below 40 dB, close to natural ambient sound levels, ensuring it never disturbs your sleep when running at night – a true harmonious coexistence of technology and life.
