Technology | Process
The SBR process is a form of activated sludge process. The spatially separated functional components of a conventional aeration plant are implemented in phases within the same tank SBR (Sequential Batch Reactor) process. Wastewater treatment takes place during the reaction phase. During the subsequent sedimentation and decanting phase the activated sludge is separated from the treated wastewater. Depending on the wastewater to be treated, the aeration is implemented through fine bubble pressure aeration or ejector aeration. The tank contents are shaken up either by pulse aeration, horizontal agitators, ejectors or by means of vertical agitators mounted on the clean water decanter. Depending on the overall configuration, batch charging to improve the sludge settling properties and biological phosphorous elimination are possible.
The innovative key point of wks SBR technology is the intelligent, dynamic and load-dependent control of the process phases and technical system with turbidity-controlled clean water removal, water level-dependent vertical agitator and automatic floating sludge
removal.
Clean water removal follows the phase boundary layer of clean water /activated sludge phase, in this way the sedimentation and decanting phase is limited to a minimum.
