Biological Wastewater Treatment

Biological treatment is a more natural wastewater treatment process than other wastewater treatment methods. Microorganisms feed on the complex materials present in the wastewater and turn them into simpler substances, preparing the water for further treatment.

Biological Wastewater Treatment System

The point of this process is to reduce the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) level. There are a variety of technologies that can perform biological wastewater treatment. Mechanical aerators, air diffusers, MBRs, SBRs, trickling filters, and more are a part of this process, depending on the facility. As technology advances, these systems are becoming more convenient, such as being redesigned with smaller footprints. Biological wastewater treatment also cuts costs because there isn't a great amount of energy that is needed for the process to be performed, thanks to the hard-working organisms.

Our biological wastewater treatment systems provide effective solutions to drinking water odor control, BOD reduction, aeration, clarification, phosphorous and nitrogen removal and more.
