Wastewater Treatment Levels Explained

Primary Treatment

Primary treatment of wastewater can also be referred to as pre-treatment solutions. These systems are designed to remove suspended solid waste which allows the heavier solids settle at the bottom of the tank and the lighter solids float to the top to be siphoned off.

Best Suited To:

• Reduce BOD
• Reduce TSS

Products:

• DAF Systems
• Screens
• Jet Aeration

Secondary Treatment

Secondary treatment solutions are often required to further process the effluent from the primary treatment process. This can be done by further filtering the water to remove sediments by way of of aeration and biological processes.

Best Suited To:

Products:

• MBR Systems
• MBBR Systems
• Jet Aeration

Tertiary Treatment

Tertiary treatment is the most powerful form of wastewater treatment. It is often used to reduce Nitrates and Phosphorus among other contaminants.

Best Suited To:

• Improve Nitrification
• Reduce Phosphorus
• Water Reuse Applications

Products:

• Membrane Systems
• bioDISC Filtration
• Sand Filtration
• bioTRIPURE Systems
