HYBRID BIOGRANULAR SYSTEM FOR TEXTILE WASTEWATER TREATMENT

  Patent granted

* MY-145578-A – Bacteria granules for treating wastewater (2013)

  Patent filing

* PI20092162 – A process for treating wastewater (2009)

THE PROBLEMS                  

* Coloured effluent from textile industry is being discharged to the environment

* Effluent Standard on colour has recently being implemented by the government.

* Chemical treatment for treating coloured wastewater is very costly.

* Sludge disposal from chemical treatment system increase the operational cost.

* Conventional biological system is incapable of treating textile wastewater

 

PRODUCT FEATURES

* A system capable of treating textile wastewater with high removal efficiency

(up to 90% COD and color removal)

* A single compact reactor treatment system utilizing small    working area

* Utilized biogranules which are dense, compact with excellent settling properties

(settling time between 5 to 15 minutes)

* High biodegradation rate due to high concentration of microorganisms within the granules.

* The system operates under intermittent anaerobic-aerobic reaction phase in a single reactor column for complete degradation of textile wastewater

* Relatively cheap and simple to operate

* Environmental friendly with no addition of chemicals

* No sludge wastage. Excess sludge (granules) can be stored for future

used or sold as seed to other treatment plant.

 

HOW THIS PRODUCT CAN HELP YOUR COMPANY

* The product provides cheap, reliable and effective treatment system for treating coloured wastewater.

* The treatment system is simple to operate

* The excess biogranules can be potential source of income for the company.

 

NOVELTY
