Effluent Characteristics
The overarching features of our treatment process are maximized oxygenation for digestion and the Membrane Bioreactor. Our effluents are significantly reduced, reusable biosolids and clean, reusable water. The liquid can be used for irrigation, surface water, or aquifer recharge. This can be further treated to become potable/drinkable water that can be used to supplement water supplies.
The biosolids collected at the membrane racks after being extensively digested are generally dried and can be used as soil enhancement or landfill cover material.
THE GPBG-CES WWTP SYSTEM ADVANTAGES
compared to the current standard for new small-scale wastewater plant include:
- The membrane physical barrier of an MBR WWT system provides an effective opening of less than 0.1µm.
- This achieves superior permeate quality with suspended solids less than 2mg/l and in most cases below detectable limits/non-detectable.
- Additionally, the membrane achieves 6-log removal of bacteria and 3-log removal of virus without disinfection.
- In addition, effluent turbidity is less than 2 NTU in the discharge of an MBR.
