AGAR® Biological Treatment Process
The unique AGAR (Attached Growth Airlift Reactor) process is an innovative biological treatment process that uses thousands of special carriers designed to create an enormous total surface area for biofilm growth – enhancing your wastewater treatment process without expanding your footprint
The unique AGAR (Attached Growth Airlift Reactor) process is an innovative biological treatment process that uses thousands of special carriers designed to create an enormous total surface area for biofilm growth – enhancing your wastewater treatment process without expanding your footprint.
The process can be operated as either a fixed-film only or an integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) process.
Features and Benefits
- Capable of using fine bubble aeration
- Easy retrofit of existing activated sludge plants
- Enhanced nitrogen removal capabilities
- Less susceptible to upset from hydraulic and organic shock loads
What this means to you:
- Improved oxygen transfer; reduced operating cost
- Reduced maintenance; elimination of plugging; reduced cost
- Allows for expansion/upgrade without additional tankage; reduced cost
- Nitrogen removal without increased hydraulic retention time
- Fixed-film biomass is attached to carriers designed to remain in the aeration basin even under hydraulic upset conditions; due to biofilm layers on the media, toxic upsets typically do not affect all active biomass and recovery is much quicker than with suspended growth systems
