Biological Processes

Biological water treatment uses living organisms to reduce substances such as organic material, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The systems are based on natural processes and cycles. These cost-effective and environmentally friendly processes are often complemented with other technologies to enable water reuse in various ways.

Nature-Inspired Water Treatment

Different types of biological wastewater treatment:

Aerobic Processes

Biological treatment of organic pollutants, nitrogen, and phosphorus through aerobic processes.

Aerobic wastewater treatment utilizes microorganisms to break down organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus in contaminated water using dissolved oxygen.

Nowadays, high-load wastewater can be treated in an energy-efficient manner while minimizing disposal costs by integrating anaerobic pre-treatment with subsequent aerobic polishing stages.

Our Biomar® solutions are widely applied across various industries, including food manufacturing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

The Biomar® product portfolio encompasses several key processes, such as:

  • Moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR)
  • Sequenced batch reactor (SBR)
  • Compact aerobic systems with internal clarification
  • Membrane bioreactors
  • Aerobic treatment combined with Flomar® flotation for enhanced clarification
  • Conventional aerobic treatment with sedimentation

Our specialists will recommend the most suitable, proven Biomar®  aerobic treatment process tailored to meet your specific needs.

Anaerobic Processes

Anaerobic wastewater treatment is a well-established technology for treating wastewater with elevated levels of organic contamination.

Energy-efficient wastewater treatment with high pollutant breakdown and energy recovery.

Anaerobic treatment methods involve biological processes where organic pollutants are transformed into biogas, effectively removing them from the wastewater. These processes are known for their rapid degradation capabilities, while also offering low electricity use and reduced sludge production. The biogas generated can be utilized for electricity or heat, lowering the carbon footprint of the treatment process. Additionally, the high volume-specific conversion efficiency allows for a compact system design with minimal space requirements.

Key advantages of our Biomar® solutions include:

  • Generation of biogas and energy instead of sludge
  • Reduced carbon emissions
  • Lower wastewater disposal costs due to significant COD reduction
  • Compact footprint with low reactor volume
  • A wide selection of reactor types suited to various needs

Our Biomar® portfolio features:

  • Fixed-bed reactors
  • High-performance reactor systems
  • Expanded Granular Sludge Bed (EGSB) reactors
  • Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR)
  • Loop reactor configurations
  • Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) systems
  • Biomass recycling with contact biological systems
  • Membrane-based anaerobic treatment systems

Our specialists will recommend the most suitable Biomar® process combinations tailored specifically to your project requirements.
