xylit
The x-perco® trickling filter is a biological filter that uses the natural wastewater purification principle. This technology is powerless. Treatment is provided by a bacteria population fixed to an fibre called xylit.
what is xylit from eloy ?
- by-product from lignite extraction
- extracted in Germany
- composed of natural wood fibres, semi-fossilised
- large contact surface for bacterial development
- high carbon content
many benefits
Of all filter media (zeolites, rock wool, coconut shavings, etc.), only xylit has been tested under extreme conditions with 10% contribution in the total mass of the compost.
At the end of the tests, the compost largely achieves the results necessary to obtain the French standard NF U44-095. This standard guarantees the quality of a compost containing materials of agronomic interest, resulting from water treatment. It certifies its use as a soil enrichment product, whether in agronomy or simply in the vegetable garden.
a sustainable development approach
Xylit is a waste that we recycle.
In our x-perco® wastewater treatment plants, it is enjoying a new life in service of the environment as a filter media. At the end of its life, it once again becomes waste that can be co-composted. It then becomes once more a high added value product with multiple uses.

wastewater treatment
Our x-perco® trickling filter uses the percolation process on a filtering medium, xylit, to purify wastewater. After the decantation process, the water is distributed evenly over the xylit by means of the aquacan®, a rotative bucket designed by eloy water.
wastewater treatment in two steps
wastewater treatment
The compact x-perco® filter works by percolation. This simple, cost-effective process is driven by gravity in two phases: primary decanting and filtering via the xylit filter media. Xylit consists of natural wood fibres derived from lignite. It has a minimum life span of 10 years, can be composted according to the French NF U44-095 standard, and has a low ecological impact.
