BioCycle -
A Treatment Process for Nitrification/Denitrification

 

The BioCycle system operates in conjunction with fine bubble diffusers to cause the reactor to alternate between aerobic and anoxic treatment conditions. Due to the insignificant amount of gas transferred to the wastewater, the BioCycle system may easily be optimized for biological phosphorus release, denitrification, and alkalinity recovery. Normal aeration of the tank is accomplished using the existing facility blowers feeding fine bubble diffusers. After the aeration phase is completed using the diffuser system, BioCycle will actuate a valve to stop air to the diffusers and start the BioMx system to provide mixing during the anoxic phase.  Upon completion of the anoxic phase, BioCycle will actuate the valve to admit air to diffusers and aeration will begin again. The sequencing of the aerobic - anoxic phasing may be determined either by using a proprietary control algorithm to detect oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and using that value as the trigger for sequencing, or by setting a pre-determined time duration for each phase.

 

 

Key Benefits:

  • Minimize electrical power while mixing in the anoxic phase of the treatment process
  • Reduce filamentous bacteria
  • Reduce the level of nitrogen in the aeration tank and recover alkalinity
  • Improve settleability of solids in the clarifier

Warranty: All system components except for injection nozzles carry a manufacturer's one-year warranty. The injection nozzles are warranted to be free of defects in workmanship for a period of one year after installation. The life expectancy of every component is at least five years of continuous service.
