Wastewater treatment solutions - biological and compact

It is a matter of survival and health of fauna and flora when the wastewater is not properly treated. Especially because our earth is mainly made of water bodies and the wastewater pollution damages the wildlife in rivers, lakes and oceans which are a habitat of numberless of fishes, other animals and plants but also very important for the earth climate.

Industrial wastewater is one of the main sources and carriers of diseases. Excessive components such as Phosphorus and nitrogen (including ammonia) can cause eutrophication, or over-fertilization of receiving waters, which can be toxic to aquatic organisms, promote excessive plant growth, reduce available oxygen, harm spawning grounds, alter habitat and lead to a decline in certain species. Chlorine compounds and inorganic chloramines can be toxic to aquatic invertebrates, algae and fish. Bacteria, viruses and disease-causing pathogens can pollute beaches and contaminate shellfish populations, leading to restrictions on human recreation, drinking water consumption and shellfish consumption. Metals, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, chromium and arsenic can have acute and chronic toxic effects on species.

Other substances such as some pharmaceutical and personal care products, primarily entering the environment in wastewater effluents, may also pose threats to human health, aquatic life and wildlife. The WHO (World Health Organization) for example reported that more than 3.4 billion people die each year from waterborne diseases. This is why wastewater treatment solutions are necessary before discharging these waters.

All parts of society and economic sectors will play a role – from the power sector to industry, mobility, buildings, agriculture and forestry. The EU can lead the way by investing into realistic technological solutions, empowering citizens and aligning action in key areas such as industrial policy, finance and research, while ensuring social fairness for a just transition.

BLUEMATER aims to be part of the solution to these problems, in a sustainable and eco-efficient basis, by deploying technologies that do not use chemicals, built on modular systems that can be retrofit, reducing up to 50% of OPEX (Operating Expenses) costs, complying with the current legislation and promoting a circular economy having a faster ROI (Return on Investment) as a result. BLUEMATER will contribute to the reduction of a fraction of environmental pollution, through the treatment of effluents and leachate, to a lesser deterioration of the quality of water bodies, treating discharges in these water bodies, to reduce water scarcity and treating certain effluents allowing these to be reused.

Because of different wastewater compositions there are various types of wastewater treatments. In spite of that, the basic steps are similar:

1. Screening (removing large pieces and items from the water)
2. First clarification (to remove solid organic matter from the water)
3. Aeration (to support conversion of NH₃ to N0₃ and to give oxygen for bacteria to grow)
4. Desinfection
5. Discharge of the water

Products like our VULCAN Flotator function as a primary flotator and ozone reactor ( AOP treatment), for the primary treatment of the effluent. Another clarification to remove the organic sediments which results through chemical treatment is not needed because BLUEMATER wastewater treatments are working without chemical components. A secondary VULCAN^® Flotator can eliminate biological sludge of the final treated water to obtain a clean effluent, after the secondary or tertiary treatment of the effluent. This module is already at industrial scale and is being integrated into new WWTP and to improve the efficiency of old WWTP.
