BioMag™ And CoMag™ Systems
The BioMag™ System easily integrates with planned or existing facilities, increasing activated sludge system capacity up to 300% without new tankage, providing control over the depth of secondary sludge blankets and enabling high nutrient removal.
The technologies make the fundamental process of clarification far faster, far more reliable, and far more compact than alternate technologies. They give the operator far more control over effluent values, and a far more robust plant.
Simple, Reliable, Robust
This ground-breaking technology infuses magnetite as a weighting agent into chemical or biological floc, resulting in rapid and enhanced settling and clarification. The technology can be cost effectively applied to both new or existing treatment plants, and greatly reduces footprint and tankage. The process creates much more concentrated suspended solids, and a more dense and stable sludge blanket that makes plants less prone to load and flow variations, and delivers superior nutrient and solids removal. Magnetite is efficiently recovered and recycled.
Performance
The BioMag Ballasted Biological Treatment System enables an existing plant to double or triple its biological treatment capacity and achieve Enhanced Nutrient Removal limits all within existing tanks. BioMag routinely delivers:
- TN < 3.0 mg/L
- TP < 0.2 mg/L
- Turbidity < 1 NTU
The CoMag Particulate Removal System can produce effluent nearly equivalent to ultra-filtration at capital and operating costs competitive with conventional alternatives. It is a perfect technology for tertiary treatment and CSO and storm water management. CoMag routinely delivers:
- TP < 0.05 mg/L
- TSS < 2.0 mg/L
- Turbidity < 1 NTU
