SLUDGEMISER
The SludgeMiser is a revolutionary patented Package Sewage Treatment Plant that TREATS SEWAGE and DESTROYS SLUDGE within the same system. Like many new inventions, the SludgeMiser owes it's success to utilising known/ tried and tested technologies in a totally innovative fashion. Using a high rate Activated Sludge reactor/ combined with a Venturi aerator that produces a large microbial surface area and efficient oxygenation, the SludgeMiser induces Endogenous Respiration, As a result of three years intensive operations/ the BMS R&D team have created the optimum process parameters, including an anoxic denitrification stage, to ensure reliable results every time.
The prefabricated nature of the SludgeMiser, pioneered by BMS with the world beating Blivet series, leads to many advantages (see side panel).
The ready to operate SludgeMiser system includes the following:
- Automated Screen
- Contact Tank
- Aerobic Reactor with Venturi
- Stired Anoxic Zone
- Final Lamella Settling Tank
- Sludge Return Pumps
- Control Panel
The SludgeMiser process can be summarised as follows:
- Pumping
- Screening
- Contact/Mixing
- Aerobic Treatment
- Sludge Destruction
- Denitrification
- Final Settlement
- Pumping (if required)
HUGE COST SAVINGS
During the operational R&D period of three years, BMS treated c40 million Hires of raw sewage. Over this period, a conventional plant would have produced c6.5 tonnes dry solids of sludge. The virtually odourless SludgeMiser, costing no more than a conventional plant to operate, saved many costs (see side panel).
Setting aside the enormous saving in cost and logistics, the ever-increasing problem of sludge disposal Is solved. Also eliminated are the onerous capital costs incurred In conventional sludge treatment. Avoiding compliance with The stringent regulations associated with final disposal allows operators the freedom to do what they do best - operate their plant.
