INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER AND ZLD / 10
First-stage treatment with less sludge.
First-stage treatment with 74% less sludge.
Adding chemicals at the start of the ETP creates a lot of sludge. A tank with two zones: one catches the floating solids, the other lets bacteria digest them.
What it achieves

Problem and fix
The problem this solves.
- 01The problem
Adding chemicals at the start of the ETP creates a lot of sludge.
How it is fixedA tank with two zones: one catches the floating solids, the other lets bacteria digest them. No chemicals are added.
How it works
Step by step.
- 1
Catch
The first zone, with air, catches floating solids.
- 2
Digest
The second zone, without air, lets bacteria digest them.
- 3
Pass
Clear water moves on to the next stage.
Key features
Why it works well.
Small space, low power, very little sludge.
- No coagulantNo chemicals at the start of the ETP.
- Small footprintLow space and power.
- Lower running costLess sludge to handle.

Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Is this technology proven?
Yes. It is at ready level 6 of 9, which means: working model tested in real conditions. Small space, low power, very little sludge.
Can we try it on our own water first?
Yes. We test a sample in our NABL-accredited lab and, where it helps, run a small trial on your site before you invest in a full plant.
Do you supply and install it?
Yes. We design, supply, install and start up the system, train your staff, and our lab checks the treated water.

your own site.
Send us a water sample or a test report. We will check it, confirm this method fits and tell you what it costs to run.
