Feed Sludge
1. PRIMARY SETTLER TANK
Pumps Pumps Here solids separation & settling occurs. Other beneficial processes, including Hydrolysis & Anaerobic digestion, takes place which aid secondary treatment. Stored organic
sludge undergoes anaerobic digestion and thus volume is reduced over time. The primary tank also receives waste sludge from the secondary biological treatment stage,

0.25
captured in the lamella settler clarifier, which also undergoes anaerobic digestion.
The Primary Tank outlet is fitted with Polylok Effluent Filters. Polylock Effluent Filters - Here fine solids larger than 1.5mm, such as hair, fibers & small plastics are caught and
0.20 0.20 0.20 0.20 0.20 removed so as to protect downstream process & equipment.

The Equalisation Chamber buffers the peak flows and regulates the feed rate of effluent fed into the Bioreactor. The Feed pumps are program controlled and setup as Duplex
(Duty/Standby) for best reliability. A level float tree monitors levels, alarms, and emergency override.

3. MBBR BIOREACTOR
Organic Carbon & Nitrification - Inside the Reactors, millions of bacteria grow on the carrier MBBR media which has a huge surface area. The bacteria and microorganisms
rapidly feed on the waste in the water. The oxygen needed by the bacteria is provided by an aeration blower and fine bubble diffusers. The aeration also provides mixing of the
water to ensure proper contact between waste, oxygen and bacteria. And additional benefit of this mixing action is the media is scoured as it comes into contact with other
media – thereby keeping the media free from fouling.

Tank depth 3.0m. 5. LAMELLA CLARIFIER

The effluent then passes into the Clarifier where the sludge settles at the bottom and the clear water separates at the top. A high quality chevron shape tube settler media is
Freeboard - Min 0.3m, Max determined by sewer invert used to significantly improve efficiency and performance of settling. In this case the accumulated sludge at the bottom of the clarifier will be sent to the Primary Settler Tank for
storage and anaerobic digestion.

6. CONTACT STORAGE
Dimensions (m)
The final stage is to disinfect the treated water with chlorine. The effluent is clear and odourless, ready for discharge to the environment or for reuse such as irrigation.
