No, the backflow isn't an alternative to venting, BUT, depending on how close to the vent stack you are, you may not need a separate vent. Another workable method is an inline vent. I've had one on my kitchen line for years and it works without a hitch. They just screw into a 1-1/2" adaptor. I would suggest that you use the backflow device as a precaution against, of all things, backed up sewage. Years ago I had the city sewer clog in the manhole below my property. It put about 4" of gray water in the basement. City paid, but who needs it.
