PIGNAT Automated Biological Treatment – TAE3000

PIGNAT

Product Code: TAE3000

Description

Demonstrate the various stages of wastewater treatment through the reproduction of the activated sludge process in an automated system.

Activated sludge treatment

This method uses an aerated reactor where are growing populations of micro-organisms in charge of degradation of dissolved organic pollutants (COD, BOD5). This reactor is coupled to a clarifier for the physical separation of the treated effluent and biomass by settling. The treatment of nitrogen compounds (nitrates) is possible by the development in the aerated basin of anoxia working range (lack of ventilation) or by establishing a separated basin of anoxia (unventilated) upstream.

Study of the sewage treatment process:

  • Strictly aerobic
  • Aerobic and anoxic by aeration syncopating
  • Aerobic and anoxic in separated basins

Conduct the process of wastewater treatment:

  • Called activated sludge treatment
  • Process monitoring
  • Search for optimal treatment parameters

Automation:

  • Alarm management
  • pH and O2 control
  • Sludge recycling management
  • Production of polluted water

Proposed experiments:

  • Study of the purification with aerobic treatment:
    • Treatment efficiency calculation (COD, BOD5).
    • Optimization of operating parameters (aeration, extraction and recirculation of sludge).
  • Study of nitrogen treatment:
    • Treatment of nitrogen in separated anoxic basin or by syncopating of aeration in the aerobic tank.
    • Treatment efficiency calculation (COD, BOD5, nitrate).
