IBAC Process - An Exciting Organic Technology BioDynes patented
IBAC (Integrated Bio-Active Clarifier) process represents a unique,
wide-range, highly effective, highly economical and advantageous
biological water reclamation technology. It incorporates aerobic,
anoxic, anaerobic, facultative, clarification and sludge treatment
in a single vessel, resulting in less tankage, controls and
equipment. IBAC systems also remove harmful biological nutrients,
require much less space than conventional waste activated sludge
plants and are more economical.
Now IBAC II - For Unstable Environments IBAC II is specifically
designed to maintain a tight and dynamically responsive control of
the biological processes within the single multi-zone bioreactor
when influent characteristics undergo upheavals, interruptions and
batch-related changes. Cutting-edge technology is used for
on-the-fly, optimum control and response to changes, with full
facilities for remote monitoring.
IBAC II Mimics Nature - But In Fast-Forward In the aerobic zone,
the microbes degrade and solubilize COD, breaking long chain carbon
compounds into easily degradable substrates. The organisms within
the micro-aerophilic and the anaerobic zones further absorb the
organic matter, converting it to short chain fatty acids which are
then oxidized by aerobic action within the upper aerobic region.
BioDynes accelerant is added to enhance the treatment through
microbial diversity.
Major Benefits of Electronic Sensory Processing Now the benefits
of biological wastewater treatment are combined with modern
technologies to achieve a dynamic response to influent changes.
Results: Fast stabilization after major influent interruptions Fast
stabilization after influent upheavals On-the-fly response to
batch-related influent changes
Major Benefits From Co-Treatment An important benefit of the
IBAC treatment process is that solids and liquids are co-treated.
The solids are degraded and stabilized conjointly with the liquids
in the same vessel. The lower amount of solids results in reduced
disposal costs.
Simplified Biological Nutrient Removal The three zones in the
IBAC process provide biological nutrient removal (BNR) in the
single vessel, without the need for increased tankage, recycling
pumps, complex process controls and additional operators.
