Specification
How the QUANTUM Sewage Treatment Plant Works:
Incoming sewage is screened to prevent accidental non-degradable products entering the digestion chamber. The Vibro-Screen™ allows organic sewage solids to enter the tank without problems.
The screened sewage is aerated and a microbial 'soup' develops that digests the pollutants and organic matter in the remaining sewage. These beneficial microbes are constantly topped up with the microbes that settle out at the bottom of the final settlement tank, ensuring a constant supply of bacteria for the digestion process. There is no need to add extra bacteria, as is the case with some other plants.
The treated sewage then enters the final settlement chamber where activated sludge bacteria settle out at the bottom. These beneficial microbes are constantly returned to the aeration chamber, via a Settled Sludge Return (SSR) pipe to the Vibro-Screen, to boost the treatment system performance.
The bacterial scum or crust that forms on the top of the effluent in the clarification chamber is returned to the Vibro-Screen via the Floating Sludge Return (FSR) pipe. This is an innovation originally developed as a feature of our VORTEX sewage treatment plant. Other activated sludge plants need this crust removing, by hand, at regular intervals.
It saves a lot of unpleasant work for both the owner and the service engineer, resulting in lower cost servicing bills.
Most sewage treatment plants struggle to work when they are under-loaded. A good rule of thumb is that if a system is working below 50% of its design capacity, there is not enough 'food' from the toilet solids to either grow, or maintain, a working bacterial population. The QUANTUM sewage treatment plant has solved this problem by having a simple hand-turned valve that can turn the amount of air required either up, or down, depending on the number of people using it. It is a simple solution to a complex problem.
QUANTUM has advanced activated sludge sewage treatment plant features not found in any other sewage treatment plant in the UK.
The only electrical component is a small air blower which operates all the process stages. This is housed in an isolated compartment under the lid. There are no pumps, motors or any moving parts within the working part of the tank.
