Primary clarification is often one of the most expensive and space-consuming portions of the wastewater treatment process. But there are efficient alternatives starting to hit the market.
Building on the success of their AquaDisk platform, Aqua-Aerobic Systems developed the AquaPrime filter as an economical and efficient alternative to conventional primary clarification. Taking up only 15% of the footprint of conventional primary clarification, the removal efficiencies of this filter exceed 80% of influent TSS with a corresponding 45% removal of BOD. The greater BOD removal lessens the organic load to the secondary process and can be used to divert influent carbon to energy producing anaerobic digestion processes.
