How the BioFicient works

The moving aerated media process used is a compact development of the traditional biological process and provides a more effective and complete means of reducing the loads.

1. Raw sewage gravitates to the unit where it is received in the primary settlement zone. Here, gross solids and other social debris settle to the bottom of the tank where they remain until the tank requires de-sludging.  Settled sewage is displaced from primary zone and enters the first of : two sequential moving aerated media reactors.

2. Media and liquid circulation in each zone is achieved through the use of a compressor and diffuser, which introduces fresh air into each compartment. The liquor is constantly re-circulated and contacts the moving media and as it does so, it is purified by the microorganisms (biomass) growing on the surface of the media and within the moving liquor. Excess growth of biomass is shed as solid particles into the liquor.

3. The final settlement tank is where humus solids settle to form sludge.  At preset intervals, portions of the sludge and liquor are returned to the primary tank for additional treatment.

4. Final effluent is displaced from the final settlement tank. With regulator approval, it is suitable for discharge to a watercourse or drainage field.

Klargester's Newest Sewage Treatment Plant Now Available

Kingspan Klargester have been investing in its commercial range and along with the recent Biodisc BM, are happy to introduce the new BioFicient sewage treatment plant for commercial applications.

In a standard configuration, the Bioficient Commercial will deliver BOD levels of less than 20mg/l, 30mg/l Suspended Solids, and Ammonia levels lower than 5mg/l. This means it will outperform most of the packaged systems currently on the market for nitrogen reduction.

The Bioficient is also a highly adaptable solution that can manage a range of influent and effluent qualities, depending on the situation requirements. The system may be configured to enable treatment to almost any consent level levied by the regulators.

The BioFicient is designed in accordance with BS EN 12255 and ideal for large domestic and commercial applications such as camp sites, hotels or industrial units. It is shipped as a single piece tank up to 300PE with modular systems available for up to 1000 PE.

How Bioficient Commercial Works

Bioficient Commerical delivers superior effluent quality thanks to its three-stage process, featuring an innovative plug flow aerobic process in a fluidised bed arrangement. This operates in conjunction with an advanced system of air diffusers and media to deliver optimum levels of purification.

Bioficient features three phases to ensure efficient operation. The first stage is a settlement phase where the coarse solids are retained for subsequent gradual breakdown. The biological phase removes carbonaceous pollutants by presenting the sewage to micro-organisms in the presence of oxygen. High efficiency air diffusers continually pump oxygen through the biological media and fluidised effluent. The by-product of biological treatment, humus sludge, is re-cycled for further treatment.

An innovative flow management system stabilises influent volume variations and minimises hydraulic impact on the final settlement process.

All these control procedures ensure that the final effluent remains at a consistently high quality.

Changes to the Bioficient Commercial

The improvements that have been introduced with the rebranding include:

• GRP inspection covers for increased corrosion protection.
• Vent pipes added to every neck to allow better ventilation and air-flow.
• Necks on each side of the primary settlement tank to allow for better inspection and easier de-sludging.
• Biozones are now very similar in volume to aid maintenance.
• Inlet pipe has a rodding point inside the neck for easier access.
• A more efficient blower means less power consumption.
• More airflow to diffusers to improve process.
• Stainless-steel diffusers to avoid corrosion.
• Other Made To Order options are available.

Other Benefits

Furthermore, the design allows the system to be installed in both pedestrian- and traffic-loading areas ensuring flexibility to installers and minimal land-take (subject to civil design and covers fitted).

Our technical specialists and engineers are able to assess each site’s demands and tailor the specification accordingly. Plant sizing is calculated not only on current demand but also on potential future loading to meet the latest legislative criteria.
