- Smallest footprint biological STP on the market designed to pass through a standard deck hatch or doorway without the need for any adaptations
- Retrofit STP solution – can be split into two separate modules optimising available space
- Two blank sides allow installation into a tight corner and reduces maintenance envelope
- No painting or surface treatment required
Process Description
Sewage and wastewater enters into the main activation stage where it is thoroughly mixed and aerated by fine bubble aeration membrane elements. Blower(s) provide air to the aeration elements whose innovative design allows quick and easy removal for cleaning. Aerobic bacteria and micro-organisms, naturally present within the waste material, break down the organic matter into mostly carbon dioxide, water and inert non-organic material.
Throughout the process the bacteria cells continue to reproduce new organisms to sustain the biological process. High efficiency of purification is ensured by the use of biocarrier. Clean water from the mixed liquor in the sword chamber is drawn through the ACOM F ‘bio-sword’ by the effluent discharge pump and discharged either directly overboard or into ship’s storage.
