Advantages of PVA-gel beads
Easy retrofit (water quantity, loading up) - Add a PVA-gel tank to an AS one or retrofit an existing treatment (AS) tank to PVA-gel one
Small footprint - Reduce tank volume due to high load designing
Low running cost - Reduce the cost of excess sludge disposal Reduce the cost of low - biodegradable substances disposal because of itsbiode gradation Reduce energy from dewatering anddrying
Increased capacity upto 5 times
Features of PVA-gel beads
Stable immobilization of bacteria → High load operation
High load operation
Standard 25 kg BOD/m3 gel・d (2.5 kg BOD/ m3 tank volume・d)
Nitrification, Denitrification (Nitrate treatment)
Standard 3kg N/m3gel・d(0.3kgN/m3 tank volume・d)
Anaerobic (Methanefermentation)
Standard 3 kg N/m3 gel・d (0.3 kg N/m3 tank volume・d)
Bacteria rich flora → Lower excess sludge
Aerobic treatment
Aerobic treatment: 30% or less of removed BOD
Autolysis treatment
Autolysis treatment: 5 to 10% of removed BOD
*It differs according to water qualities.
High biodegradability of organic substances
Treatment of low degradable substances– Oil and grease, PVA and so on
