Wastewater Treatment - Secondary Wastewater Treatment
Secondary wastewater treatment is the 2nd stage of wastewater treatment that takes place after the primary treatment process. The process consists of removing or reducing contaminants or growths that are left in the wastewater from the primary treatment process. Usually biological treatment is used to treat wastewater in this step because it is the most effective type of treatment on bacteria, or contaminant, growth.

Secondary treatment processes can remove up to 90 percent of the organic matter in wastewater by using biological treatment processes. The two most common conventional methods used to achieve secondary treatment are attached growth processes and suspended growth processes.

Siemens is a world leader in all types of biological treatment systems, including some of the most innovative processes in the market designed to save cost and conserve space and energy:

  • Aeration devices and systems
  • Attached growth systems
  • Suspended growth systems
  • Solids reduction processes

Siemens also provides pilot treatment systems and analytical testing to document the efficacy of treatment prior to installation. We also provide parts and service on all of our equipment, as well as equipment which may have been provided by other manufacturers.

Case Study: Pima Utility Company Replaces Existing Wastewater Treatment Process with an OMNIFLO® SBR System

Since the wastewater treatment facility is located near a retirement community, the design of the plant had to be taken into consideration as well as the small land area, noise level of the equipment and potential odors.

The OMNIFLO® Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) replaced an existing lagoon and also needed to be designed for expansion to accommodate future growth in this community located in Sun Lakes, Arizona.
