� Technology Leadership

� Global Reach, Local Presence

� Proven Track Record

� Measurable Return on Investment

– Wastewater reuse

– Energy recovery

– Retrofit capabilities


The AGAR MBBR technology

• MBBR

� Simple control process

� Resistant to shock loads

� Small footprint

Operation Training required

• Activated sludge

� Traditional waste water

treatment

� More space required

� More complex to

operate

� Less resistant to shocks


� Separation of biomass from pure

MBBR systems is more challenging,

compare to conventional Activated

Sludge or IFAS systems.

� Existing solutions are: Chemicals

usage (coagulant/flocculant) for

gravity sedimentation or dissolved

air flotation unit

Finding an economical simple solution for optimal solid liquid separation having different sludge

quality in the same biologically treated waste water

The Problem


Standard MBBR process prior to a MC

AGAR® MBBR

� Multi stage biological reactor

� Filled with biomass carriers (20 –

70% fill ratio)

� No sludge recirculation

Moving Bed Biological Reactor


The solution is Media Clarifier

� The Media clarifier (MC) was

developed specifically for MBBR

effluent characteristics

� The clarifier contains a floating layer

of plastic media that improves solids

separation and clarification


Why a Media Clarifier?

Simple operation

Small footprint – up to

50% less than normal

Lower or even no

chemical requirement

Very low energy

consumption

No scum problems

Flat floor

MC Mechanism

� Wastewater flows through the unit in an up

flow manner

� A fraction of the solids settle in the bottom

� Other solids separate in the upper media layer

� Sludge is emptied from the bottom

periodically

� Upper media zone is emptied periodically

� Some times aeration is introduced to agitate

upper media layer and improve periodic

cleaning


Separation mechanism

� Solids settle in the lower clarifier zone

� Solids are also separated in the upper media zone

due to the following mechanisms:

– Auto-flocculation – adhesion between small particles due to

turbulent micro currents

– Entrapment within the media in non-turbulent zones

– Adsorption of particles to organic matter attached to the

media. High surface area of the media allows abundant of

attachment zones

Media clarifier (MC) Floatation unit

Technology description The Media Clarifier (MC) is a unique and innovative clarifier

developed in order to provide a specific solution to sedimentation

characteristic typical to MBBR processes.

Sedimentation and separation of solids takes place in one tank with

an up-flow pattern –. Sedimentation and concentration of coarse

solids takes place at the lower part,.

In the upper zone a solid/liquid mixture is passing through a non-

conform layer of Jambo Media with captures the fine solids. Effluent

water flows over an outlet weir.

Dissolved Air flotation (DAF) This technology makes use of

pressurized Air-water mixture and releasing them to the tank. The

solid attached to the air bubble and float to the surface, were they

are remove by skimmer.

The DAF uses cycle le pressurization

Chemical are used for coagulation of the fine solid and electrolyte

polymer for attaching solids into agglomerates that will float.

Concentration of sludge is determined by the speed or depth of the

upper skimmer.
