ANAMMOX is a sophisticated nitrogen removal system developed by Paques, representing a major advancement in wastewater treatment technology. Introduced initially in 2002, it integrates partial nitritation with the ANAMMOX process, facilitating a more efficient conversion of ammonium (NH4+) and nitrite (NO2 -) into nitrogen gas (N2). This innovative process employs naturally developed granular sludge, optimizing conditions for microbial synergy, thereby enhancing its operational efficiency. ANAMMOX is particularly beneficial for removing ammonium from nitrogen-rich effluents commonly encountered in industrial and municipal wastewater treatments. Compared to traditional methods, it offers substantial benefits, including reducing operational costs by up to 60% and minimizing CO2 emissions. It is a proven technology developed in collaboration with leading universities, and continues to transform wastewater management.

The BIOPAQ CBD reactor is a specialized anaerobic treatment system designed to manage high-strength industrial effluents with significant organic loads and suspended solids. Unlike most systems that necessitate pre-treatment, this system can effectively treat wastewater containing up to 150 g/L of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and 100 g/L of Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Integrated with an automatic grit and solids removal feature, the system mitigates build-up and operational downtime. Utilizing a plug-flow design, the BIOPAQ® CBD eschews mechanical mixing, resulting in lower operational expenses through diminished power consumption and maintenance requirements. Renowned for its biogas production efficiency, this reactor is especially suitable for industries with demanding effluent profiles, offering reliable performance and operational efficiency within a compact footprint. With years of proven global installations, Paques continues to lead in delivering robust, tailored solutions for complex wastewater treatment challenges.

Paques, a global leader in biological wastewater treatment, presents the BIOPAQ UASB system, an innovative technology for the treatment of industrial effluents. Utilizing the Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) process, this bioreactor efficiently converts organic compounds into biogas without the use of air. The process significantly reduces effluent discharge costs while simultaneously generating green energy. With the ability to treat diverse effluents from sectors like food, beverage, pulp and paper, and municipalities, the BIOPAQ UASB is highly versatile. Its modular design allows for varying capacities, making it adaptable to any layout requirements. Furthermore, Paques offers a retrofit program to upgrade existing UASB installations, ensuring superior operational stability and longevity. The bioreactor's patented three-phase separator design, featuring multiple gas hoods, minimizes turbulence and facilitates high loading rates, enhancing treatment efficiency across a wide range of applications.

PHOSPAQ™ is an innovative process designed by Paques for the cost-effective and sustainable recovery of phosphorus from industrial effluents and municipal sludge. The system removes biologically degradable chemical oxygen demand (COD), phosphate, and ammonium from wastewater. At its core is an aerated reactor that promotes optimal mixing of struvite particles and aeration. In this process, magnesium oxide facilitates the removal and precipitation of phosphate as struvite, providing a slow-release fertilizer solution or a feedstock for other applications like fire retardants. PHOSPAQ™ is integrated with separators to retain the struvite while discharging the treated effluent. By minimizing struvite scaling in pipes and equipment, it significantly reduces maintenance costs. With phosphorus being a finite resource crucial for many forms of life, PHOSPAQ™ plays a vital role in resource recovery and contributes to a more circular, sustainable economic model.
