ENVIRONMENT AND TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES INC.Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Leonardo da VinciBiological Waste Water Treatment Systems. Rotating Biological Treatment (RBC)Presenting the World’s most economical, dependable and sustainabledomestic waste water treatment solution.www.planettek-tr.com2The most serious problem of our Planet in the 21st century is the rapidly deple-ting natural sources and scarcity of clean water.In 2004, when I started the journey with PlanetDISK®, my sole purpose was to serve the world and help save the rapidly disappearing natural sources and make a change for the better.In order to protect the water sources and be able to reuse the wastewater, I wanted to locally manufacture a compa-ct biological treatment unit utilizing a te-chnology which was favored in Europe, USA and Canada. Biodisk technology was using less energy, had smaller foot-print, easy-maintenance and was able to serve trouble-free for many years if engi-neered correctly with the right choice of materials.This is how PlanetDISK® is born (You may watch my personal and PlanetDISK’s story “The World Needs “Heroes” at TEDx Conference by searching key words of “TEDx Aydogan” at YouTube ) I named our company PlanetTEK, TEK meaning the “only one” in Turkish, and short for technology in English. The One and Only Planet’s clean water sources are depleting so fast, soon, water would be the most expensive element- more ex-pensive than anything else on the face of the PlanetWhen I was born in 1960, world’s popu-lation was under 4 billion. Today in 2015 it is 7 billion and expected to exceed 9 billion by the year 2050 The overall GNP in 1950 was 4 trillion € where today, it is over 50 trillion €. The price the world has to pay for such increase is enormous. In the end we might inherit our children and grandchild-ren the perfect technological products such as smartphones and cars that do not require drivers, But would they really thank us for having all of these in a world without clean water resource or clean air to breathe.After 11 years of many successful imp-lementations, PlanetDISK® has become the RBC brand name of dependable, solid state of biological waste water tre-atment and recycling systems for capaci-ties between 50-20,000 people.PlanetDISK® is the registered trademark of 100% local brand with CE Compliance Certificate that satisfies stringent manu-facturing standards of EU, USA and the Turkish Authorities ‘official tenders’ tech-nical specs.For a Planet we can live in, sustainable waste water treatment technologies are needed. Success of treatment systems depends on ease of maintenance and low energy cost. Thanks to PlanetDISK®, since 2004, this is exactly what we have been achieving as PlanetTEKWe are proud of how far we have come and continuously working harder to move further We thank all the customers who gave us the precious opportunity to serve the Planet with their trust in our products and service.Hürriyet Necdet Aydogan CEO- Founder,Bs Mechanical Eng. and Ms Industrial Eng.Letter of the FounderENVIRONMENT AND TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES INC.3Among all known domesticwastewater treatment technologies the one that requries the least amount of energy and lessmaintenance. www.planettek-tr.com4Sustainable, consistent anddependable process results.Why PlanetDISK® RBC Units?Technology Inspired by NatureWhat makes PlanetDISK® so perfect is the shear simplicity behind its design and principle of how it works. This brings along simplicity of operation and maintenance.Low Energy DemandRBC System saves up to 80% in energy costs. Among all known wastewater tre-atment technologies, RBC is the one that consumes the least amount of energy. Typical blower for a treatmant plant ca-pacity of 250-350 pe requires 4-5.5 kW.For a similar capacity plant, PlanetDISK® uses a 0.37kW electrical motor and a reduction gear to rotate the rotor at 3-5 rpm. That’a all the energy required in the reactor part Monthly energy costs per person per month at a typical Planet-DISK® plant is less than 10 cent USD. Renewable Energy ResourcesDue to system’s low energy demand, it easily operates with either solar or wind power.No Smell No Noise No annoying smell or noise. The rotor ro-tates at 3-5 rpm and requires merely 0.37 kW. It is quiet Each time the rotor surfa-ce is exposed to the atmosphere, plenty of oxygen diffuses to all the bacteria in the biofilm. There is no blower to blow the smell out of the system. This is the very secret of not having any annoying smell at PlanetDISK® systems and being able to place it nearby swimming pools.Dependable Under VariableLoadsConsistent process results even the organic load may vary up or down by 250%. Since the microorganisms in a fixed film system are attached to a me-dia, they cannot wash out with increased flows or loads. Should the bacteria load is decreased for over 48 hrs., some kind of nutrient (such as sugar or urea) may be added to one of pre sedimentation tanks. European StandardsNitirification, denitrification and phospor removal are all succesfully achieved by RBC systems. When the effluent BOD level is below 20ppm, nitrification is ac-hieved. When the water is fed back to one of pre-sedimentation tanks acting as anaerobic tank, denitrification occurs. Phosphor re-moval is achieved by flocullation or filtra-tion. Effluent values of 10-15ppm BOD can easily be achieved by PlanetDISK® RBC systems. Reuse of Waste WaterWith tertiary treatment (sand+activated car-bon filter) and disinfection (UV or chlorine) tre-ated waste water can be used for irrigation, car wash, toilet flushing, cooling tower water and also at construction sites.Easy MaintenanceSimple and economical to run. Does not require constant maintenance as required in activated sludge systemLong LastingAll materials used in manufacturing Planet-DISK® units are corrosion proof. HDPP dis-ks, HPPE or GRP body tank, rotor which is in contact with water is SS and galvanized metal. Solid shaft is chrome plated and epoxy paint protected. It is designed and built to serve many years. The heavy duty bearings are pillow block type with self-a-ligning spherical roller bearings. Disks are made of 8 pieces for maintenance on-site as Canadian and British standards require. PlanetDISK® RBC units are among the least amount of energy requiring RBC units in the World.Extreme High Performance In suburban areas like villages, even though the bacteria levels are low and the waste water is diluted, the system still performs well and delivers required standards.ENVIRONMENT AND TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES INC.5Why a NY town, Kiryas Joel, (Popula-tion: 13,000) preferred RBC over the other conventional WasteWater Treat-ment Systems?…the RBC facility clearly had lower operation and maintenance costs as a result of power and labor savings. (The other options involved heavy energy usage from large blowers to provide pro-cess air, and the extended aeration alternative required an additional operator to frequently monitor process variables.) Overall, the RBC alternative offered the best combination of re-asonable capital cost and low operations and maintenance costs. Additionally, it is simple to operate and does not require constant attention or sophisticated instrumentation. http://www.americancityandcounty.com/mag/go-vernment_big_solutions_small/ “…… RBCs may be the best process choice for some wastewater treatment plants because of their proven simplicity, reliable performance, and low energy usage ……For these reasons, we believe that the RBC process deserves greater consideration during process selection”.Williams and Works Technical Articles - Reconsidering Rotating Biologi-cal Contactors by Steve Williams, PE.January 2011WhyRBCis preferredin most cases?6PlanetDISK® plant for 2000 pe at service of small community, Igneada Village, Blacksea region of Turkey.First PlanetDISK® unit at service since 2005. Still rotating and treating perfectlywww.planettek-tr.com1- PlanetDISK® RBC Unit is a fixed film reactor system consisting of circular disks made of non-corrosive, High Density PolyPropylene (HDPP), mounted on a solid chrome coated steel shaft rotating at speeds at 3-5 rpm.2- The entry part of the RBC system must have screens and also grease trap. FOG (fat, oil, grease) especially must be kept out in RBC systems. Since the bacteria forms a biofilm on the surface of the disks, only the soluble BOD must be introduced into the RBC reactor. That means that the settleable BOD must be held in sedimentation tanks. Mechanical ways of screening will not replace sedimentation which also redu-ces the BOD load by aprox. 30%.3- During the rotation, 40% of the disks are immersed in wastewater. The rotation of the rotor exposes biomass on disks to oxygen, allowing organisms to multiply. The dissolved oxygen and organic materials in wastewater diffuse into the biomass to be metabolized.4- This is all a natural process performed by the microrganisms in the waste water. Bacteria act as cleaners themselves. The organical load in waste water is bacteria’s “food” and the bacteria “eat and digest” eachother. The operator does not have to interfere nor has to clean the disks. Biomass thickness may vary between 1-2.5 mm and excess biomass shears off at a steady rate by gravity as the disks turn. The disks are seperated from each other by plastic rings of 14-17 mm thickness. 5- The converted suspensors are removed sludge (Total Suspended Solid) and is collected at the final clarifier such as lamella clarifiers (built by PlanetTEK) at final sedimentation stage. Filtration can also be utilized for such purpose. After tertiary treatment via filtration and disinfection (UV, Chlorine, etc) the water can be reused.What makes PlanetDISK® RBC the better choice among all the wastewater treatmenttechnologies?ENVIRONMENT AND TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES INC.7Treatment Plant Capacity: 10 – 4000m3/dayEach unit capacity = 40-70 m3/day depending on BOD load and effluent and influent characteristics Each Unit power requirement= 0.37 – 0.55 kW NON-CORROSIVE MATERIALS• Polyethylene Body • HDPP (High Density Polypropylene) Discs 1.7mm thickness. 2050 mm dia.• Each disk consists of 8 pieces.

At PlanetTEK,We Don’t. We Reuse It.10www.planettek-tr.comThere were several challenges to overcome in this village WWTP project:1-Problem: The major concern of the Gover-ner of Rize was the energy cost of the WWTP. The chosen system has to be energy efficient.Solution: PlanetDISK® energy cost per per-son per month is less than 10cents(USD) per month This is only a fraction of what the Go-vernor was expecting to pay for the energy cost.2-Problem: Maintenance has to be easy. There are no trained personnel in the area for small package type WWTP. Solution: PanetDISK® is already being used at villages of Ankara, Edirne and several ot-her provinces. The amount of maintenance is less than 15 minutes per 2-3 days. And the personnel doesn’t have to be qualified as a te-chnician or an engineer. Unlike conventional methods, little operator intervention and mo-nitoring will be sufficient. The results will not heavily depend upon human factor. 3-Problem: It rains a lot in the region and un-fortunately the rain will mix up with the sewer entering the WWTP. The WWTP has to be able to handle both hydraulic and organic flu-ctuations. Solution: Fixed film systems such as Planet-DISK® RBC generally have a greater mass of microorganisms, making it better able to handle organic load increases. Besides, fixed film systems perform well even with diluted waste water. The activated sludge process, on the other hand, is more susceptible to performance de-terioration due to hydraulic and organic load variations. Rapid flow increases tend to wash microorganisms out of the aeration tank at precisely the time that a high concentration of microorganisms is needed.4-Problem: The villagers have often heard that the WWTP have loud noises that will be disturbing and also causes bad smells in the area.Solution: The Governor was very pleased when he saw the reference letters of other Governors regarding the lack of smell or no-ise. He also noticed that PlanetDISK® sys-tems were quiet and smell free to place near by houses or swimming pools at luxury hou-sing sites. 5-Problem: The terrain is difficult and the whole area is covered by tea gardens. Land is very much limited. Villagers and the Governor want waste water treatment plant but not very much willing to give up the limited tea gardens they have Solution: PlanetDISK® RBC System footprint is 50% less than classical systems. There are close to 1000 treatment com-panies in Turkey. Facing such challan-ges, ITU and LIPTON decided to choose PlanetTEK as their partner in this very prestigious and difficult Project. Name of Customer and the Project: LIPTON TEA - UNILEVER - TürkiyeSustainable waste water treatment solutions at tea har-vesting villages at Black Sea Region of Türkiye.Corporate’s Social Responsibility Project.Overall PictureThe village of Dikkaya nearby Çamlihemsin of Rize Province is just another beautiful village at Black Sea region of Turkey. The village, like several other villages nearby is located by Firtina Vadisi – Storm Valley popular with rafting, hiking and other nature activities. Unfortunately the waste water from these villages run directly to small streams that eventually go into Firtina River and to the Black Sea. LIPTON Tea tea-med up with Istanbul Technical University (ITU) and suggested the Governer of Rize Province that they can sponsor a Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) to serve one of the villages in the area. Case Study Challengesand Solutions: 11ENVIRONMENT AND TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES INC.Conclusion and lessons taken:PlanetDISK® Plant is commisioned in October of 2014. The analysis results always meet the standards and often were better than expected. Each case study has its own unique chal-langes and has to be handled indivi-dually. LIPTON Social Responsibility Project was no exception and there were problems that wasnt taken into account. We will openly share the most valuable experience we gained in this Project:The villagers throw baby diapers and si-milar trash into the toilet. Unlike in other villages, we had pamphlets printed and distributed to the villagers advicing not to use the toilets as trash cans. Such problem made it very difficut to maintain the coarse and the fine screens free of debris. Mechanical automatic screen is considered for the future projects.PARAMETER VALUE UNITPopulation 400 personCapacity (Hydraulic Load) 52 m3/dayPer Capita Flowrate 130 L/person.dayPer Capita Organic Loading 50 gr/person.dayTotally Organic Load 20 kg/dayInlet Temperature 15-30 oCInlet BOD5 385 mg/L Inlet COD 700 mg/LEnergy Cost Comparison of PlanetDISK® Unit vs Activated Sludge Units PlanetDISK UnitReduction GearActivated SludgeBlowerNumber of Unit 1 1Power of motor (kW/hour) 0,37 5,5Total Power (kW/hour) 0,37 5,5Power Usage 60 85Power Consumption (kW) 0,22 4,67Cost of Electrical (USD/kW) 0,1 0,1Daily Operating Time (hour/day) 24 24Annual Operating Time (hour/day) 365 365Annual Electrical Spending (USD) 192 4.100 Annual Saving (USD) 3.908 USDProject Snapshot – LIPTON Project – Black Sea - Türkiye12ENVIRONMENT AND TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES INC.PlanetDISK® system is shipped on April 2015 to Ghana’s newest and of the most prestigious housing site.
