BIOSTYR® BAF (+ MBBR)
Kruger’s BIOSTYR® process combines biological treatment, clarification, and filtration into one compact system. With installations throughout the world, BIOSTYR is proven to be an exceptional technology for meeting today's stringent effluent limits. BIOSTYR is an ideal process for plants where footprint is limited, close proximity to neighborhoods is a concern, or expansion is desired.
The process is carried out in a series of individual cells containing submerged buoyant media called BIOSTYRENE. The incoming wastewater and air, which is injected at the base of the cell, flow concurrently through the BIOSTYR cell. The BIOSTYRENE media provide a high specific surface area where microorganisms attach and act as a filter media for suspended solids removal. The media is retained in the cells by a precast concrete nozzle deck integral to the structure.
- Downstream clarifiers not necessary, decreasing operation and maintenance requirements
- Footprint allows for process to be easily enclosed, neighborhood friendly
- Treated water of exceptional quality, even in very cold climates
- Filter influent screened at 10 mm bar
