Brief Description
Description : | This technology is designed for primary wastewater treatment by simultaneously removing colloidal and suspended particles without the use of chemicals, thereby avoiding formation of chemical sludge. The reactor consists of oxic and anoxic zones, where the oxic zone captures suspended particles through interception and the anoxic zone digests the collected solids. This integrated approach results in reduced sludge production, lower energy consumption, and decreased operational costs compared to conventional systems.
Key Features: • Dual-zone system combining oxic and anoxic processes • Removes suspended and colloidal particles without chemical addition • Reduces sludge generation significantly • Low energy consumption and operational cost • Compact design suitable for primary wastewater treatment |
