Abstract From the Canadian patent

The present invention relates to a process and apparatus for biological treatment of liquid waste by an upflow aerobic biofilter and coating of the solid fraction by powder zeolite. The aerobic biofilter comprises a reactor filled with perforated media. The media prevent clogging by suspended material in the manure but allow accumulation of biomass within the reactor and high oxygen transfer.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 4, 1998 and granted August 8, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 4, 2018.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 4, 2020.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
