Product Description
A M20 Grade Bio Treatment Tank, often referred to as a biological treatment tank or bioreactor, is a crucial component in various wastewater treatment processes, particularly in the secondary treatment stage of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the biological degradation of organic matter and the removal of pollutants from wastewater through the activity of microorganisms.
Here's how a bio treatment tank generally works:
1. Wastewater Inflow: Wastewater from the primary treatment stage, which includes physical processes like screening and settling, enters the bio treatment tank. This wastewater still contains organic materials, suspended solids, and potentially harmful microorganisms.
2. Biological Activity: Inside the bio treatment tank, conditions are optimized to support the growth and activity of beneficial microorganisms, mainly bacteria and sometimes fungi. These microorganisms metabolize and break down the organic matter in the wastewater as their food source. The organic matter includes organic compounds like fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
3. Aeration: Typically, aeration systems are used to provide oxygen to the microorganisms. Oxygen is essential for the biological degradation process, and aeration helps ensure that sufficient oxygen is available for the microorganisms to thrive. Various types of aeration systems, such as diffused air or mechanical mixers, may be employed.
4. Sludge Production: As the microorganisms consume organic matter, they produce biomass and convert the organic materials into carbon dioxide, water, and additional biomass. The solid biomass produced is known as activated sludge.
5. Settling: After the biological treatment process, the mixture of treated wastewater and activated sludge undergoes settling to separate the biomass (sludge) from the treated water. This can be done in a secondary clarifier or settling tank.
6. Effluent Discharge: The clarified water, which has undergone significant pollutant removal and biological treatment, is then discharged into the environment or further treated if necessary. The separated sludge may undergo further treatment, such as thickening, digestion, or dewatering, before disposal or reuse.
