Waste Water Treatment

Sustainable water treatment systems that reduce discharge costs, recover resources, and meet environmental regulations.

Product Overview

Our wastewater treatment systems process industrial effluent to meet discharge requirements while recovering valuable resources. These systems combine physical, chemical, and biological treatment methods to remove contaminants, reduce COD/BOD levels, and enable water reuse. From pre-treatment to tertiary processing, our solutions minimize environmental impact while reducing disposal costs and water consumption.

Product Breakdown

  • Physical-Chemical Treatment: Pre-treatment systems using screens, DAF (dissolved air flotation), pH adjustment, coagulation, and flocculation to remove suspended solids and fats/oils/grease (FOG) reducing TSS by 80-95%
  • Aerobic Biological Treatment: Activated sludge, MBBR (moving bed biofilm reactor), or SBR (sequencing batch reactor) systems achieving 90-98% BOD/COD removal through controlled microbial oxidation with capacities from 10,000-5,000,000 GPD
  • Anaerobic Digestion Systems: High-rate anaerobic reactors (UASB, EGSB) treating high-strength wastewater (COD >2,000 mg/L) while generating biogas for energy recovery, reducing treatment costs by 40-60%
  • Membrane Bioreactors (MBR): Combined biological treatment and ultrafiltration producing high-quality effluent suitable for reuse, with footprints 50-75% smaller than conventional activated sludge systems
  • Advanced Oxidation Systems: UV, ozone, or chemical oxidation for color removal, disinfection, and degradation of recalcitrant compounds achieving >99.9% pathogen reduction and meeting stringent discharge standards
  • Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD): Complete water recovery systems combining evaporation, crystallization, and brine concentration to eliminate liquid discharge, recovering 95-98% of water for reuse

Technical Details

  • Equalization Tanks: 10,000-500,000 gallon concrete or steel tanks with aeration and mixing systems buffering flow and load variations, maintaining consistent treatment performance during production fluctuations
  • Aeration Systems: Fine bubble diffusers, surface aerators, or jet aerators delivering 1-3 lb O2/HP-hr efficiency, maintaining 2-4 mg/L dissolved oxygen for optimal biological treatment with SCADA-controlled blowers
  • Clarifiers and Settlers: Circular or rectangular clarifiers with 500-50,000 sq ft surface area, featuring sludge scrapers, scum removal, and effluent weirs achieving <30 mg/L TSS in overflow with 2-4 hour retention times
  • Chemical Dosing Systems: Automated pH control, coagulant, and polymer addition using metering pumps (0.1-100 GPH) with inline mixing and feedback control maintaining optimal treatment chemistry
  • Sludge Dewatering: Belt presses, centrifuges, or filter presses concentrating biosolids from 0.5-1% to 15-30% dry solids, reducing disposal volumes by 90-95% with polymer conditioning
  • Monitoring and Control: Online analyzers for pH, DO, ORP, TSS, COD, and flow with PLC/SCADA systems providing automated process control, alarm management, and compliance reporting with data historians
