Water treatment (Bio UV) is the safest method to disinfect water for consumption. Treatment by ultraviolet light is natural, direct, radical and does not involve any chemical.

The BIO-UV system:

1. 1. Treats water originating from natural sources (wells, boreholes, intakes, etc.).
2. 2. Makes tap water safe to drink after disinfection using active carbon.
3. 3. Recycles rainwater for domestic use (conditions apply).

The BIO-UV Sanitization kit is equipped with 3 filters and a UV System:

• Washable Screen Filter – 60 Microns: Removal of suspended matter more than 60 microns
• Cartridge Filter – 10 Microns: Removal of suspended matter more than 10 microns
• Carbon filter – Removal of odour, organic chemicals and bad taste
• UV Reactor – Destroy bacteria and virus.

Advantages of the Bio-UV Water Treatment Kit:

• Easy to maintain.
• Does not modify the water ph.
• No risks of overdosing and under dosing hence not harmful
• No chemical products

BIO-UV reactors ensure that water complies with the health and safety requirement and with the Drinking Water Standards issued by the Mauritian Authority.

The working principle of the UV Systems

• Invisible Ultraviolet light is produced inside the BIO-UV kit through the lamps.
• The UV rays penetrate the cells of germs and disturb their metabolism until they are destroyed.
• The reactors in the BIO-UV are dimensioned according to the pump flow rate, as it is the combination of the contact time in the reactor and the Power of the lamp(s) that will ensure the necessary dose that is required to kill 99.9% of the micro-organisms.

What is UV (Ultraviolet) treatment?

Ultra-violet radiation is a proven process for disinfecting water, air or solid surfaces that are microbiologically contaminated.

How often should I replace my lamp?

Our UV lamp produces visible light past the 10,000 hours. We recommend changing the lamp every 12 months to maintain optimum efficiency as ultraviolet output decreases over time. Our system is equipped with a timer which gives the running hours of the UV lamp.

Where should the BIO UV be installed?

The water purifier is intended for indoor use and should be installed in a dry place against a well-supported wall. Provision should be made for maintenance (keep at least 1m around the equipment). The kit should be installed after a water pump.

Why is it recommended to install a set of filters before the UV lamp?

Filtering prior to the ultraviolet water purifier removes contaminants and particulates that may interfere with the ultraviolet process.

Does Duraco team provide maintenance services?

Upon purchase of our BIO UV kit, a maintenance contract is proposed to ensure regular servicing of your device.

Can I use filters other than the ones provided with the system?

To avoid contamination or misuse of the kit, it is not recommended to use other filters than the one proposed by Duraco.

Will the UV operate in case of power cut offs?

The system will not be operational as the filtration unit needs pressure from the water pump to activate the UV system.

What is the recommended temperature of the water?

Normal operating range is 60 degrees C. The water purifier must be connected to the cold-water line only

Our compost bin creates the right conditions for rapidly growing micro-organisms which decompose organic wastes to form compost

• 100% virgin material
• Moulded in-one-piece design
• Opaque design and UV stabilized
• Holes on sides for airflow
• No odour imparted
• High impact resistance
• Easy transfer of compost to containers

In Mauritius, 80% of the Municipal Domestic Wastes (papers, yard wastes and food wastes) are classified as organic. These can be recycled into valuable bio-fertilizers through the process of composting. Our compost bin creates the right conditions for rapidly growing micro-organisms which decompose organic wastes to form compost. Aerobic composting takes place in the presence of oxygen, humidity and organic matter. In the process, aerobic micro-organisms also produce carbon dioxide, ammonia, water, heat as well as humus (compost).

The main features of Duraco Compost bin are as follows:

• Manufactured from 100% virgin material
• Moulded in-one-piece design
• Opaque design with holes on the sides for airflow
• UV stabilized
• No taste or odour imparted from polyethylene
• High impact resistance
• A robust and user-friendly system made in two pieces; the drum and its base
• Wheeled base makes turning and mixing process effortless as compared to conventional compost bins
• Easy transfer of compost to containers

Capacity: 250L

Length: 885 mm

Width: 590 mm

Height: 885 mm

• For best results, it is recommended to make mixed layers (green matter and dry matter):
  • Garden Waste – 1 part dry: 4 parts green
  • Kitchen Waste – 1 part dry: 1 part green
• If moisture leakage is noticed at the vent holes of the compost bin, add some dry matter to the mixture
• Composting can be carried out with the compost bin half full – minimum necessary to produce required heat to destroy harmful elements
• When the compost bin is full, leave sufficient space for movement and aeration of waste matter for the first days until heat production and decomposition start
• Always keep the compost bin closed during composting
• The internal temperature rises to 55°C during the first 2 days and remains constant for 15 days. The last 5 days are the cooling period of the cycle
• It is recommended to rotate the compost bin 5 times a day. These rotations are necessary for the circulation of oxygen essential to the growth of aerobic bacteria. If not aerated, the process is delayed and there is risk of decay and odour.
• Compost is ready when it is black in colour and smells like soil
• Leave a small amount in the compost bin to speed up the next composting process

Duraco Road Barrier is a Polyethylene barrier used to keep vehicles within their roadway thus preventing them from colliding with dangerous obstacles and avoid accidents.

Features:

- UV stabilised and weather resistant

- Moulded in one piece design

- Lifetime expectancy: 10 Years (if used under good conditions)

Sites for installations of Road Barrier

- Bridge ends

- To indicate traffic diversion

- Near steep slopes from roadway limits

- At drainage crossings where steep or vertical drops are present

- Near large signs/illumination poles or other roadside elements which may pose hazards

Advantages

- The road barrier can be linked in straight or curved line

- To maintain stability, it can be partly filled with water

- A custom plate can be added on one side to indicate the owner's name

- Can be moved by forklift when filled with water
