Product Working Principle

This integrated wastewater treatment plant is a high-efficiency, fully automated sewage purification system engineered for both domestic and industrial applications. By integrating pretreatment, biological degradation, solid-liquid separation, disinfection and optional advanced treatment into a compact, modular design. It achieves stable, compliant effluent while minimizing space usage and operational complexity. Suitable for treating all types of wastewater, from low-pollution domestic sewage to high-concentration industrial wastewater. It is a reliable and cost-effective water management solution suitable for urban, rural, industrial, and emergency environments,even in land-constrained settings.

The wastewater treatment plant employs a sophisticated multi-stage purification process, combining physical filtration, biodegradation and chemical disinfection to remove pollutants.

Pretreatment (Grilles & Lift Pump)

Raw sewage first flows through a coarse grille (10–20mm aperture) to trap large debris such as plastics and branches. It then collects in a sump, where a lift pump raises the water level to feed the next treatment stages. A fine grille (5mm aperture) filters out smaller solids to prevent clogs in downstream equipment. An aerated grit chamber uses aeration to separate sand and gravel from the sewage, ensuring these inorganic particles don’t disrupt subsequent biological treatment.

Biological Treatment (Anaerobic + Anoxic + Aerobic + Post-Anoxic + Membrane Tank)

Anaerobic Tank: Sewage undergoes anaerobic breakdown here—microorganisms break down complex organic matter into simpler compounds, while also releasing phosphorus from their cells (supporting enhanced biological phosphorus removal).
Pre-Anoxic Tank: In an oxygen-free environment, denitrifying bacteria convert nitrate nitrogen into nitrogen gas, achieving initial nitrogen removal.
Aerobic Tank: Fitted with aeration systems and biofilm carriers, this tank fosters aerobic microorganisms that decompose organic matter (BOD, COD) and convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen via nitrification. A blower room supplies air to keep dissolved oxygen (DO) levels at 2–4 mg/L, sustaining microbial activity.
Post-Anoxic Tank: Further denitrification takes place here to lower nitrate nitrogen levels, boosting overall total nitrogen removal efficiency.
Membrane Tank (MBR): Ultrafiltration or microfiltration membranes (0.01–0.1 μm pore size) replace traditional sedimentation. These membranes trap microorganisms and suspended solids, producing effluent with SS < 5 mg/L and COD < 30 mg/L—suitable for direct reuse.

Disinfection (Ozone Contact Tank)

The treated water enters an ozone contact tank for disinfection. Ozone (O₃) effectively eliminates pathogens like bacteria and viruses, with a contact time of 15–30 minutes, ensuring the effluent meets sanitary standards for either discharge or reuse.

Sludge Treatment

Sludge from the biological tanks and membrane tank is collected in a sludge storage tank. It is then sent to a sludge dewatering room (equipped with devices like screw presses) to reduce moisture content to 80–85%. The dewatered sludge is transported off-site for harmless disposal or resource recycling.

Installation method

Buried Installation: The entire equipment is buried underground. The top can be covered with soil for landscaping, hardening, or a simple surface. It saves surface space, is aesthetically pleasing, and provides good sound insulation. Suitable for residential areas, schools, scenic spots, rural areas, and other locations with high environmental requirements. Installation requires excavation of a foundation pit, foundation construction, and anti-buoyancy treatment. The surface should be restored after backfilling.
Above-ground Installation: The equipment is placed directly on a concrete foundation or steel frame. Installation is convenient, and maintenance is easy. Suitable for factories, construction sites, temporary treatment points, mountainous areas, and locations with high groundwater levels where burial is not advisable. It requires significant land occupation and rain and sun protection.
Semi-buried Installation:The lower part of the equipment is buried underground, while the upper part remains above ground, balancing land occupation and ease of maintenance. Suitable for taller equipment, areas with average geological conditions, or situations where aesthetics and maintenance are both important.
