Biological Plants
Biological wastewater treatment plants positively harness bacterial species (also called “activated sludge” or “biomass”) to degrade and remove a wide range of pollutants in wastewater from different sectors, including:
Food&Beverage
Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics
Paper&Cardboard
Biogas and Biomethane Production
Other sectors
There are different types of biological plants, characterized by a different combination of:
- Design choices;
- Required final purification yield;
- Quality and quantity of effluent to be treated;
- Spaces available for installation.
