Biological Treatment

Aerofloat has a thorough understanding of notoriously complex biological wastewater treatments, offering a range of biological wastewater treatment options for industrial and municipal applications.

This commonly includes reducing and removing soluble contaminants, such as BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) and COD (chemical oxygen demand) and removing soluble organics from high strength wastewaters.

Aerofloat has extensive in-house process engineering skills and access to a range of technologies to tackle a variety of wastewater problems. Aerofloat’s patented aeration lance technology provides a unique low maintenance solution for standard biological treatment plant technology, including AeroMBBR (moving bed biofilm reactor – MBBR), AeroSBR (sequencing batch reactor), AeroASR (activated sludge reactor) and AeroMBR (membrane bioreactor).

Biological wastewater treatment is typically needed to remove soluble organics in wastewater – for example, dissolved sugars. The biological process needed will be determined by the wastewater influent profile (looking at flowrate and concentration) and the discharge requirements and applications of the treated wastewater.

In some instances, biological treatment processes will be coupled with physical/chemical treatment processes (such as dissolved air flotation) to remove the undissolved contaminant before or after the biological treatment phase.

Aerofloat has extensive experience in designing a fit-for-purpose treatment plant that carefully considers the best economical solution while still achieving the required effluent results.

Experts in biological wastewater treatment

Biological wastewater treatment requires in-depth knowledge of chemical engineering and process.

In-depth understanding of wastewater chemistry

Aerofloat prides itself on having a deep understanding of chemical engineering and the chemical processes required to ensure an effective wastewater treatment plant.

Patented biological wastewater treatment

Aerofloat utilises a range of patented and off-the-shelf wastewater treatment technology. Its patented technologies ensure low-maintenance solutions for its clients.

Relevant products

When designing a wastewater treatment plant, Aerofloat engineers utilise a range of different proprietary and off-the-shelf products to deliver the best wastewater treatment solution. The following are some, but not limited to, Aerofloat’s available product portfolio.

AeroMBBR

Moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) involves a biological process commonly used to remove soluble contaminants, such as BOD and COD (typically dissolved sugars and proteins).

AeroSBR

AeroSBR (sequence batch reactor) technology is a suspended growth biological treatment process whereby the microorganisms are settled, and effluent decanted, within the same reactor.

AeroASR

The AeroASR (activated sludge reactor) is an aerobic, suspended growth biological treatment process and the mixed liquor containing the microorganisms which flows from the ASR are settled in a separate clarifier.

Membrane Bio Reactor

Aerofloat has many combined years’ engineering experience in the wastewater treatment industry. It also has access to several third-party products at competitive prices to incorporate into any design – including membrane bio reactors for biological treatment.
