Virtually all of Hydroflux Industrial’s biological processes can be adapted to removing Nitrogen and Phosphorus to very low concentrations to meet the most stringent of regulations.

Why do we need to reduce nutrient levels?

Industrial wastewater can contain very high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus (nutrients). When nutrients are discharged to the environment a process of eutrophication can occur.

Eutrophication encourages the overgrowth of algae and the decomposition of the algae by bacteria uses up so much of the oxygen in the water that most or all of the aquatic life die. This in turn creates more organic matter for the bacteria to decompose. In addition, some algal species produce toxins that contaminate drinking water supplies. Throughout Australia there is a currently a heavy focus on reducing nutrients in wastewater.

Hydroflux Industrial supply a comprehensive range of equipment and process that can remove nutrients including:

• Sequential Biological Reactors SBR.
• Membrane Bioreactors MBR.
• Moving Bed Bioreactors MBBR.
• Hydroflux HyDAF systems for chemical P removal.
