Secondary treatment bioreactors create ideal conditions for microorganisms to degrade pollutants found in wastewater streams. Aeration and mixing in bioreactors ensures the microorganisms are properly homogenized with the pollutants they use as food and the oxygen they use to proliferate. In many bioreactors, the aeration equipment provides both the oxygen and the mixing. This approach limits the flexibility of the system, whereas decoupling oxygen demand from mixing requirements provides the operational flexibility to reduce the airflow rate to meet the air required for plant loading.
The BioCycle-ENR Activated Sludge Process and FlexZone Adaptive Process Volume System are ideally suited for bioreactors within municipal and industrial secondary treatment processes. The technology is extremely effective for plants that are underloaded compared to design, or plants with wide diurnal variations.
In mixing limited applications, BioMix Compressed Gas Mixing can be interlaced with diffused aeration grids, allowing simultaneous operation and preventing over-aeration.
