The package unit utilizes multiple RBC disks that are vertically mounted and closely spaced on a steel shaft, providing a large surface area for bio? lm growth. The disks rotate out of the wastewater to provide aeration for ef? cient BOD removal and nitri? cation. A cloth media drum ? lter follows the RBC to collect and remove the biological solids prior to the ef? uent discharge. This cloth media ? lter eliminates the need for a secondary clari? er. The Aqua BioMax system is an ideal solution for low ? ow applications (up to 100,000 gpd) where economical treatment and simple operation are critical.© 2012 Aqua-Aerobic Systems, Inc. Bulletin #475A 11/12Ef? uent from an upstream primary sedimentation basin enters the Aqua BioMax unit through the biological treatment section of the unit. Bio?lm grows on the RBC disks, removing BOD and oxidizing ammonia. The RBC disks are 40% submerged and rotate continuously to allow for aeration of the biomass when exposed outside of the water. This method of providing oxygen to the biomass eliminates the need for mechanical aerators or diffusers systems with blowers, resulting in signi? cant power savings. Flow then enters the ? lter portion of the unit. Biological solids are collected on the outside of the cloth media and removed when the ? lter is backwashed. Ef? uent is then discharged. The back-wash water is returned to the upstream primary sedimentation basin and the biosolids are typically anaerobically digested in the bottom of the pre-treatment tank. The digested solids are removed from the tank every three to six months.Rotation of both the RBC disks and the cloth media ? lter drum is accomplished by a small gear motor, 1.0 to 2.0 horsepower (hp) (0.75 to 1.5 kilowatts kW). In addition, there are one or two 0.8 hp (0.6 kW) backwash pumps for the drum ? lter, depending on the unit size.Aqua BioMax™ system overview (? lter cover removed).Operation DescriptionAqua-Aerobic Systems, Inc. 6306 N.
