Wastewater Mechanical Aeration Systems

In aerobic wastewater treatment systems, microorganisms feed on organic materials to stabilize them, and reduce biological oxygen demand and suspended solids in the wastewater. We can provide you with an aerobic digestion system for your sewerage treatment operation or combine it with one of our wastewater technologies to meet your specifications.

Orbal® Wastewater System

Aerobic Wastewater Mechanical Aeration Treatment Systems:

Orbal® Multichannel Oxidation System
The Orbal® multichannel oxidation ditch, as a complete mix, looped reactor system, is well-suited for conventional activated sludge, advanced secondary sludge treatment, simultaneous nitrification-denitrification and biological phosphorus removal.

Wastewater Mechanical Aeration System Case Study

Envirex Vertical Loop Reactor - Texas City, TX

The Wallace R. Knox Wastewater Treatment Facility, in Texas, experienced solids wash-out during storm flow conditions. As the waste strength increased, too few microorganisms were left in the system to assimilate the waste. This resulted in violations of the NPDES permit. The upgraded system needed to be energy efficient, even while experiencing extreme variable loading conditions.
