AGAR® Solutionswww.aqwise.comAdvanced Wastewater Treatment Solutions Extending Nature 's CapacityAGAR® Applications for Versatile NeedsAGAR® TechnologyThe proprietary AGAR (Attached Growth Airlift Reactor) technology is a result of more than a decade of intensive multi-disciplinary research and development. Integrating Fixed Film and Suspended Growth technologies, it is considered as the “next-generation” in biological wastewater treatment methods. The AGAR® technology combines a unique fully open and fully protected biomass carrier with a highly e?cient aeration and mixing design. This results in superior e?ective surface area for biomass growth and optimal oxygen transfer e?ciency. Municipal and Industrial SolutionsAqwise o?ers advanced wastewater treatment solutions for the Industrial and Municipal markets. These solutions signi?cantly increase the capacity and e?ciency of existing wastewater treatment plants, while minimizing the size of new plant deployments. By using Aqwise’s solutions, municipalities can cope with increased regulation, aging infrastructure and growing population. Industrial plants can meet the strict regulatory requirements for discharging wastewater to the environment or to municipal collection systems, and solve typical industrial problems such as variable in?ow, seasonal peaks, and high organic load. The solutions may additionally facilitate in-plant reuse of the treated e?uent with up to Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD).Aqwise family of solutions may be applicable to any type of biological process upgrade, from existing oxidation ponds, through Attached Growth to Activated Sludge. For new and existing installations, Aqwise o?ers various con?gurations of MBBR (Moving Bed Bio Reactor), IFAS (Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge), and FFAST (Fixed Film followed by Activated Sludge Treatment).Advanced Wastewater Treatment SolutionsCapacity IncreaseMunicipal: The municipality is required to increase the capacity of its wastewater plant due to increased ?ow-load and natural population growth.Industrial: The industrial plant is required to handle larger quantities of wastewater due to increased production capabilities. The AGAR Solution increases the capacity of the wastewater plant by up to 50% without additional construction. The solution o?ers rapid deployment and minimal downtime.Quality Improvement - BOD & Nitrogen RemovalMunicipal: The municipality is required to improve the e?uent quality to meet new stringent regulatory requirements.Industrial: The industrial plant is required to produce a higher quality e?uent due to increased regulatory requirements or implementation of water-saving measures.The AGAR Solution alters the biological environment, creating optimal conditions for enhanced removal of a wide variety of pollutants, including BOD and total Nitrogen removal.www.aqwise.comAdvanced Wastewater Treatment SolutionsFast Recovery from Process UpsetsMunicipal: The municipality experiences process upsets caused by shock load or storm-water hydraulic peaks, as well as toxic elements from industrial in?uent.Industrial: The industrial plant experiences process upsets caused by shock loads, toxic materials, and in?uent variations (peaks), such as seasonal ?uctuations.The AGAR Solution operates as a bu?er to streamline variable in?ow and organic loads, preventing biomass washout while promoting rapid recovery from toxic shocks.Limited FootprintMunicipal: The municipality faces space constraints when designing the new wastewater treatment plant.Industrial: The industrial plant is usually limited in space, as it cannot expand its site.The AGAR Solution o?ers signi?cant space e?ciencies in the implementation of new reactors with 30%-60% reduction in reactor volume, compared to conventional systems.Future ExpansionsMunicipal: The municipality is forced to design an oversized plant to cope with uncertain future demand increase.Industrial: The industrial plant needs to invest in an oversized plant today to handle future growth. The AGAR Solution o?ers the ability to gradually increase capacity by simply adding biomass carriers. Clients can increase the capacity of existing reactors at exactly the rate that is needed with just-in-time capital investment.Minimize Process Complexity and Operator AttentionMunicipal: Remote locations and small communities lack the technical resources for intensive operation of the facility. Industrial: The Industrial plant has limited wastewater treatment operations resources and requires simple-to-operate solution with minimal ongoing attention.The AGAR Solution can avoid or signi?cantly decrease sludge circulation, reducing the ongoing operation attention needed.www.aqwise.comAqwisePhone: +972-9-959-1901Fax: +972-9-959-1903info@aqwise.com Aqwise® and AGAR® are registered trademarks.
