Stable operation and flexible process options are important factors in choosing an aerobic wastewater treatment system. The Model R OXIGEST from Smith & Loveless fills those needs as it can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of municipal wastewater treatment.
Its capital and operational cost-saving tank arrangement comprising integral biological treatment zones eliminate expensive pumps and yard piping while minimizing installation expenses, land usage and construction time. In addition, the system is smartly automated and conveniently accessible, and is flexible enough to meet current and future municipal project effluent requirements.
“Its concentric tank design minimizes capital costs like installation, land usage and construction time,” says William Flores, vice president of Smith & Loveless’ Municipal Division. “These field-erected steel treatment plants install more quickly and cost-effectively through quality-controlled manufacturing and time-efficient onsite plant erection.”
An inner secondary clarifier is surrounded by an outer ring of biological treatment, optional flow equalization and sludge storage zones, yielding a smaller total footprint because the need for multiple separate concrete tanks and related yard piping and conduit are eliminated. Smith & Loveless integrates smart automation for process operation, and the system’s instrumentation is conveniently accessible, making operation and maintenance simple. Moreover, according to Flores, long-term maintenance and associated life cycle costs are less than half compared to conventional concrete plants.
“The concentric tankage and flexible process options — including MBR filtration — make it capable to meet a variety of domestic treatment needs in a single compact package, making it ideal for smaller to medium-sized municipalities, private developments, federal and military facilities, and commercial operations,” says Flores. “For large metropolitan regions that desire to scalp wastewater streams to reuse water for parks and public golf courses, it offers a space-efficient footprint for volumes greater than 100,000 gpd.”
Flores says that the system’s relatively simple installation is one of its biggest strengths among customers. “Many tell us they appreciate the complete project support and value-added services, including the initial process sizing recommendation when needed, as well as the CAD/3D concept drawings, process and flow diagrams, field erection services, start-up services and on-site operations training,” he says. 800-898-9122; www.smithandloveless.com
