HOOT BNR SYSTEM TREATMENT PROCESS
The efficient five-stage HOOT BNR treatment system is designed
with these components:
1. Pretreatment
tank where influent enters.
2. Aeration chamber where oxygen is pumped into the waste water.
3. Clarifier chamber where the clear, odorless effluent rises.
4. Holding tank effluent ready for discharge.
5. Extremely quiet, efficient aerator and pump.
6. Unique solid-state
HOOT
Control
Center monitors and controls the system.
The Hoot BNR treatment
system is designed with four components: a pretreatment tank,
an aeration chamber, a final clarifier and a pump tank.
The pretreatment
tank, the first component of the system, begins the anaerobic
decomposition of the influent. It also holds any non bio-degradables
inadvertently added to the system.
The aeration chamber,
the heart of this activated sludge sewage treatment system,
introduces oxygen by pump into the sewage. This aeration intimately
mixes the organic materials of the sewage with the bacterial
population, allowing the bacteria to attack and reduce the
organic materials. Nitrifying bacteria present in the Aeration
Chamber convert ammonia to nitrate. Any activated sludge
settling in the final clarifier chamber is reintroduced into
the aeration chamber by sewage movement in the aeration chamber.
As solids settle
in the clarifier, a clear, odorless effluent rises. This nitrified
effluent passes into the pump tank. The pump tank then returns
a portion of the daily flow back to the Pre-Treatment tank
for exposure the untreated anaerobic influent. This process
reduces Total Nitrogen by over 60% of the influent levels. Additional
effluent is stored for discharge through the chosen method
of disposal. |
