Extending Nature?s Capacitywww.aqwise.comIntroducingAqwise Remote N‘ Control™ Compact Unit SolutionProtecting the environment wherever it isAdvanced solutions for small scale Wastewater Treatment plantsThe Aqwise Compact Unit is essentially a standard freight container enclosing a complete wastewater treatment plant for sanitary wastewater flows of 50 to 100 m3/d. The unit can produce effluents to meet all environmental discharge requirements both in terms of BOD and Total Nitrogen requirements. The plant is fully automated, the processes are inherently simple, and as a result minimal operator intervention is required.Small foot print• Easy delivery & installation in remote locations• Fast implementation with minimal logistical and staffing requirements • No need for high-level technical experience• Automatic operation • With minimal need for human monitoring• Solution stability – with effective resistance to:• Hydraulic shock • Toxic shock• High organic load • Advanced Wastewater Treatment SolutionsSupreme cost efficiency• No need for extensive local infrastructure• Low operational costs• Inherent scalability• Add carriers for greater performance• Add parallel units for greater capacity• Can be supplied as a separate unit process• No Odors• Comprehensive compact wastewater treatment solutions State of the Art AGAR® technology sets new standards for next generation solutions The Aqwise Remote N‘ Control Compact Unit, using AGAR® (Attached Growth Airlift Reactor) technology, presents customers with a robust wastewater treatment system with the following benefits: Aqwise Remote N‘ Control™ Compact Unit at-a-glanceFine screenAGAR® Aerobic tanks Aeration grid Proprietary media clarifierMachine roomMedia retention screensVarious Applications: Small or Remote CommunitiesIndustrial Parks and Business Parkswww.aqwise.comThe Compact Unit solution is designed to take advantage of the relative simplicity of Moving Bed technology. Combined with higher effluent quality capabilities of the denitrifiltration unit, it presents a containerized solution which:Can be deployed rapidly, with minimal infrastructure requirements (a 1. plane area or concrete slab, electrical power connections and influent and effluent piping are all that is needed).Requires minimal operator intervention due to mechanical simplicity and 2. inherent robustness .Produces an effluent with high degree of Nitrogen removal (low Total 3. Nitrogen concentration) suitable for many applications with discharge to the environment (i.e., receiving waters, creek, etc).An anoxic pre-denitrification stage (used only when Nitrogen removal is 1. required), facilitated by the use of floating media (moving-bed) and a mixer. Nitrified wastewater is returned from the aerobic reactor to this stage by IR stream, and partial denitrification occurs on the biomass attached to the media.The aerobic moving-bed reactor is where BOD removal and Ammonia 2. nitrification takes place. The reactor, filled with floating media and equipped with an aeration system, generates air for oxygenation and mixing. Nitrified effluent from the effluent-end of the reactor is recycled to the anoxic zone for partial denitrification (applicable to the Nitrogen removal option). MBBR (Moving Bed Biological Reactor) technology is characterized by simple operational requirements, as it contains far less process units (compared with an equivalent Activated Sludge system), and as a result such solutions are less prone to process upsets. The technology is often used for carbonaceous BOD removal. Although the process has good nitrification capabilities, it is a less commonly used process for Nitrogen removal, mainly due to denitrification limitations: due to the high Internal Recycle (IR) required, and the lack of an external carbon source, extensive denitrification (and the concurrent Total Nitrogen removal) is hard to achieve. Aqwise has developed an advanced, unique AGAR® Remote N‘ Control™ process which overcomes this challenge, while retaining the inherent simplicity of the MBBR technology. The result is a simple, low-maintenance, robust system which produces a high quality effluent which can comply with the most stringent regulatory requirements.Effluent from the aerobic reactor is introduced into the new, patented 3. media clarifier unit, consisting of a combined sedimentation-denitrification-filtration unit. The media clarifier unit combines effluent filtration with denitrification, and is based on the same type of media used in the upstream biological units. Implementation of this process unit also allows the process to produce an effluent with very low (<15 mg/l) Total Nitrogen, as well as TSS concentrations, comparable to those produced in an activated sludge system.Choice of two diversified configurations to match specific local applicationsThe Aqwise solution comes in two optional configurations: BOD removal only, and BOD & Nitrogen removal. Additional advantages include: Two options: 50 m• 3 / 100 m3 a day Ability to upgrade capacity by adding parallel compact-units to the same site• Suitability to use the unit as an interim/temporary solution, as well as on a seasonal operation (e.g. resorts and hotels affected by high/low season) • The solution may also be provided as a turn-key service through selected Aqwise distribution partners• Each Compact Unit may be specifically ‘tailored’ to particular client specifications• The new Aqwise compact-unit solution includes the following stages:The TechnologyRest AreasMarine Gas/Oil PlatformsMining Plants Hotels & Spas in remote and secluded areasCarbon Removal Carbon and Nutrients Removalwww.aqwise.comAqwisePhone: +972-9-959-1901Fax: +972-9-959-1903info@aqwise.com Aqwise® and AGAR® are registered trademarks.
