AquaThane Hydrox process – Intelligent aerobic wastewater treatment
The Hydrox process of AquaThane offers an effective aerobic treatment solution that optimizes (de)nitrification cycles through intelligent oxygen demand control.
At the core of the process is an Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) sensor, which continuously monitors the system and adjusts oxygen supply to maintain optimal treatment conditions while keeping energy use to a minimum.
How it works:
- Instead of continuous aeration, the system uses a pulse mixing mechanism that operates on pre-set timers.
- This keeps the activated sludge in suspension without unnecessary aeration, reducing energy consumption and improving process stability.
- Hydrox process consolidates all treatment stages into a single tank, eliminating the need for additional equipment like agitators, circulation pumps, or multiple tanks.
Key benefits:
- Oxygen is supplied only when required, based on real-time demand, significantly reducing power consumption.
- A single-tank configuration without extra equipment minimizes infrastructure investment.
- Automated process control ensures reliable and consistent performance.
- Fewer mechanical components mean lower maintenance requirements.
