An innovation in waste water management
Feeding is the starting point of each cycle, when the set volume of wastewater is being fed to an anaerobic reactor by the feeding pump installed in an equalization basin. The fed wastewater then flows into an aerated reactor through a recirculation pipeline. | During the reaction phase, a pump continuously recirculates the mixture of sludge and wastewater between the anoxic and aerobic compartments of the FBR reactor. Good conditions and flexible control can be provided for nitrification, denitrification and microbiological decomposition of organic matter during each reaction cycle. | The third phase of the cycle starts at the end of the reaction phase. Settling begins with equipment in the reactors being shut down. As the water in the reactor becomes motionless the sludge settles to the reactor’s bottom, leaving clear water on top. | The clear water left at the upper part of the reactor is pumped to a finished water effluent tank, while the settled sludge is pumped to a processing line where it is disposed of as solid waste. |
The Organica Fed Batch Reactor (FBR) technology combines the advantages of conventional batch process and continuous-flow wastewater treatment technologies. Moreover, it utilizes natural and artificial plant roots as solid media biofilm carriers for biological intensification.
The FBR can be regarded as semi-continuous technology, since it has certain features similar to batch systems (sequential feeding) and others resembling continuous flow characteristics (simultaneous nitrification and denitrification within the two compartments). This combination of continuous-flow and sequencing- batch reactor systems has proven efficiency.
