The system increases process efficiency and performance through the selection of dense sludge aggregates with improved settling rates and the promotion of enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR).
It is a gravimetric selection technology that provides a method for retaining the debnser biomass while wasting out the light fraction of the MLSS in the treatment system. Increased density can lead to improved settling characteristics, which allows for the prediction of biomass loss and subsequent treatment disruption, especially during wet weather scenarios.
Selection for faster-settling particles, process configuration, and physical forces can encourage aerobic granular sludge. The hydrocyclones select dense granules through the underflow, while the lighter solids are wasted via the overflow. The use of an external selector for improving settleability and stabilizing EBPR, with or without the use of a formal aneaerobic selector, is a low-cost capital investment for wastewater treatment plants.
