The Pre-Engineered ASCO2R
Wastewater Treatment Plant
The Pre-Engineered ASCO2R Treatment Plant Is A
Unique, Intermediate Sized Biological Wastewater Treatment System Available
In Either A Secondary Or Tertiary Treatment System
Standard ASCO2R equipment, depending on the treatment
level required, would include:
- Aeration
- Clarification
- Filtration
- Sludge Holding
- Disinfection
- Blowers
- Pumps
- Electrical Controls
- Filter Media
- Liquid Level Sensors
- Gratings
- Handrails
- Stairways
- The Patented Flouroprobe for Oxygen Control
Optional Equipment available consists of:
- Flow Equalization
- Flow Metering
- Monitoring
The overall pre-engineered design can achieve a clear and odor free
effluent with minimal maintenance. The system is pre-built at the factory
and shipped to the project site as a self-contained unit that requires
only minimal field assembly.
Typical applications for Package Wastewater Treatment Systems with hydraulic
flow rates from 1,000 gallons to 500,000 gallons per day are:
- Industrial Facilities
- Power Stations
- Apartment Complexes
- Motels / Hotels
- Resort Areas
- Condominiums
- Recreational Facilities
- Prisons
- Mobile Home Parks
- Military Facilities
- Highway Rest Areas
- Any Facility Remote of City Sewers
The pre-engineered ASCO2R treatment plants are
a type of biological treatment for sewage wastewater using the activated
sludge extended aeration technology, but adding the feature of the newly
patented maintenance-free Flouroprobe technology for matching air requirements
to both the hydraulic and biological loading or for creating aerobic
or anaerobic zones within the single aeration chamber for nitrification
and de-nitrification.
The basic design is an extended aeration period that is approximately
24 hours, coupled with a defined settling period that is approximately
four hours.
The extended aeration process purifies the sewage by the destruction
of the organic compounds using air to mix and oxidize the volatile material
into gas, water and sludge. By the continued aeration of these concentrated
solids, biological organisms are produced and grow in colonies. These
colonies will attach themselves to the volatile materials breaking it
down into water, carbon dioxide and ash. The result is a clear and odor-free
effluent.
The activated sludge process returns to the start of the extended aeration,
the 99% active bacteria that has settled in the clarifier. This aids
in the enhanced and increased efficiency of the micro-organisms that
break down and digest the sewage wastewater.
ASCO2R Treatment Process
The patented Flouroprobe monitors the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) continuously
and does not need cleaning or re-calibrating due to the unique method
of measuring DO through luminescence of ultra-violet light.
This capability allows the Flouroprobe to automatically adjust the DO
level in the plant to match the level of DO needed to treat appropriately
low flows, fluctuating flows, peak flows or fluctuating biological loading.
Also it can vary the DO levels from zone to zone within the plant for
the creation of nitrification and de-nitrification zones for Total Nitrogen
reduction. The automatic, real-time DO matching to hydraulic and biological
loading rates can minimize biosolids creation by maintaining a continuous
treatment level at all times by the proper creation and stabilization
of the correct type of microorganism for sewage treatment. The correct
balance of air to biological mass ratio almost eliminates pin point floc
normally associated with activated sludge plants by maintaining "fat"
and healthy organisms. The advantages of the Pinnacle Pre-Engineered
Sewage Treatment Plant are:
(1) Sludge production is the least produced over that of other technologies.
(2) Intermittent or longer term change in biological or hydraulic loading
does not change the effluent quality as the DO is monitored to match
the loading rates and achieve full designed treatment.
(3) Total Nitrogen reduction capabilities.
(4) No chemicals to add as only atmospheric air is introduced into the
plant in controlled quantities given the loading rates and detained for
a specific period given the effluent design parameters.
(5) Near-elimination of pin point floc normally associated with conventional
aeration plants.
