Aquabio Ltd - Aerobic Treatment
Aquabio Ltd provide a range of process solutions for aerobic treatment of wastewater using ultrafiltration membranes. The use of ultrafiltration has the added benefit that it provides the perfect pre treatment for water reuse systems (Nanofiltration or Reverse Osmosis)
Below is a summary of our aerobic processes:
AMBR
AMBR is an aerobic wastewater treatment solution, combining jet and slot aeration with membrane bioreactor technology.
The basic process is an intensive activated sludge system with high biomass concentrations which enables a compact installation with high organic carbon removal and low surplus sludge yields.
The separation of biomass from the treated effluent is achieved by a "crossflow"ultrafiltration membrane system, thus producing very high quality effluent suitable for reclamation or potable reuse in combination with post treatment by reverse osmosis/disinfection (e.g. UV, ozonation, chlorination). More details are available on the AMBR product page
BIOVERT
AMBR BIOVERT is a low energy cross-flow membrane separation process. The membrane separation is provided by banks of horizontally or vertically mounted cross-flow membranes. Further details are available on the BIOVERT product page.
OXYMBR
In association with BOC Linde, Aquabio provide the OXYMBR process. The OXYMBR provides the same ultrafiltration separation technology as the AMBR system above. The aeration is provided by the injection of oxygen into the bioreactor. This has the advantages of reduced plant footprint with even lower sludge yield than the AMBR or BIOVERTprocesses. Further details are available on the OXYMBR product page
