Learn more about the increasing challenges of wastewater treatment.

Our environment faces numerous challenges, including the impact of inadequately treated wastewater effluent. This pollution harms surface and groundwater quality, disrupts ecosystems, and negatively affects plant and animal life. One visible consequence is the alarming rise in blue-green algae blooms and red tide events. 

At RioVation®, we are dedicated to creating a positive environmental impact by providing innovative and cost-effective onsite wastewater treatment solutions.  

NOTE:   As a for-profit enterprise dedicated to developing innovative wastewater treatment solutions, 

RioVation® is strongly committed to tackling the vital issues like those found in the news items and information below.

BioMaze® uses biological processes that work with nature

—not against it—

directly in the tank where treatment is most effective.

Treating in the Soil vs Treating in the Tank

  • Up to 50% of U.S. soils are unsuitable for proper soil-based treatment.
  • Soil conditions are unpredictable and affected by hostile climates.
  • Most drainfields develop biomat over time and fail; the EPA estimates a drainfield lifespan of 15–20 years.
  • Additional system loads can exceed design capacity, leading to hydraulic overload.
  • Tank-Based Treatment Advantages:
    • Controlled and predictable environment.
    • Point-source verifiable—easily monitored and tested.
    • BioMaze® prevents failures and restores biomat-clogged drainfields.

Why are We Planning to Fail?

  • Current septic system site plans require a "designated replacement area" for future drainfield failures.
  • Reserve areas are protected land, ensuring usability when failures occur.
  • BioMaze® offers a proactive alternative to premature drainfield replacement.

Microbe Rich Effluent

  • Oxygen & Aerobic Microbe Rich Effluent
  • Bacteria will colonize and build up on pods
  • The thickness will adjust based on the loading

Crystal Clear and Odorless Effluent

  • Resulting is crystal clear effluent
  • Odorless
  • No solids or toilet paper


Alabama Sample

  • Single Compartment Tank
  • 5 Adults
  • Drainfield was failing
  • Rejuvenated Drainfield
  • Crystal Clear Effluent


Eats Sludge

  • Installed May 2021
  • First Sludge Judge Sample taken shows about 9 inches of Sludge
  • Second Sludge Judge Sample taken 9 Months Later -  BioMaze® Ate the Sludge
