H2O Innovation offers the Bio-Wheel™ and Bio-Brane™ technologies for wastewater treatment. The Bio-Wheel system combines the advantages of activated sludge and the integrated fixed film process in one system without the need for blowers. The Bio-Brane system is a membrane bioreactor that combines the advantages of the Bio-Wheel with the advantages offered by membrane filtration of the effluent.

Bio-Wheel™

 

Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge System
 

 

 

 

The Bio-Wheel biological treatment system has been developed to combine the compactness and flexibility of the activated sludge process with the stability and simplicity of the fixed film process (IFAS). The Bio-Wheel system integrates the two processes in a single tank by using a simple mechanical drive system. The rotation of the Bio-Wheel provides alternating air and water cycles for the fixed film process, and aeration and mixing for the activated sludge process.

With the
Bio-Wheel
system, advanced water treatment with high quality effluent is possible by biodegradation of the organic compounds, nitrification, denitrification and uptake of excess P without using chemicals. The combination of the two processes provides high stability, with low capital and operating costs.

Applications include the following:

  • Treatment of domestic and municipal wastewater from 7.6 m³/day to 7600 m³/day.

  • Treatment of domestic wastewater containing industrial and manufacturing wastes.

  • Treatment and pre-treatment of high strength organic industrial wastewater.

  • Treatment of land fill leachate.

  • Combined with septic tanks and lagoons for improved nitrification, denitrification and biological phosphorus removal.

  • Food processing operations.

  • Aerobic sludge stabilization.

Bio-Brane

 

Bio-Brane Membrane Bioreactor

Bio-Brane™ membrane bioreactor (MBR) combines the low power consumption of the Bio-Wheel patented technology with a highly efficient submerged membrane process.

This wastewater treatment exceeds the most stringent standards for effluent discharge or reuse, and eliminates the requirements for a clarifier or a filter. With the Bio-Brane™, it is possible to achieve almost non-detectable limits in the effluent for BOD and TSS.
