Product Description

COMPACT membrane modules are submerged directly within the bioreactor. It is tyically operated in a considerably different range of parameters for the mean cell residence time and substrate utilization rate than the conventional activated sludge processes. Due to this difference, COMPACT offers several benefits over the conventional activated sludge process. These benefitsinclude:

 much smaller space requirement;

 better solids removal(elimination of bulking);

 disinfection;

 increased volumetric loading;

 de-coupling of hydraulic and biomass retention time;

 production of less sludge due to high sludge age;

 high SRT which allows the development of slow-growing microorganisms such as nitrifying bacteria; and

 retention of high molecular weight organic compounds that can enhance the biodegradation process.


The modular concept allows for phased construction of wastewater treatment plants and makes it adaptable to a wide range of sizes and flow rates.
COMPACT can be delivered as a containerized unit. This solution has some advantages such as: 

factory installed and tested
no construction works on-site
short delivery period
easy to relocate
