Industrial wastewater treatment
siClaro® Compact
Production wastewater is often characterised by high concentrations of
organic constituents. Physical and chemical methods are suitable only
to a limited exent to treat such wastewater on account of the low degradability
and removability of the dissolved substances.
Moreover, their use entails a use of chemicals and a resulting accumulation
of excess sludge from the precipitation processes. Biological methods, on the
other hand, have proven to be very good for the treatment of wastewater from the
industrial sectors of food, metal, paper, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals,
motovehicles and breweries. The operation of conventional secondary settling tanks
in the activated sludge process, however, generally poses problems. With the
siClaro® BMA® method the aerobic biological process is combined with membrane
filtration to separate the activated sludge.
siClaro® BMA® reactors are characterised by high concentrations of biomass, the
avoidance of excess sludge and the complete retention of the biomass.
siClaro® Compact are ready-for-use filtration containers that are connected in
parallel downstream of the aeration tanks. This means that it is very easy to
retrofit existing plants. The plants are designed and dimensioned individually
after trials with the customer’s wastewater. Our test facilities are available for this purpose.
Advantages:
- low space requirements, compact design
- outstanding quality of the effluent, in some cases can be discharged directly
- reutilisation of the filtrate, e.g. as industrial process water
- ruggedness of the siClaro® filter
- reliable operation
- suitable as pre-treatment for reverse osmosis plants.
