Membrane Bio-Reactor - MBR
MEMBRIGHT
®

Coill Dubh WwTW
Co.Kildare, Rep. of Ireland
Plant In Use - 2004

Membrane

The Membright® MBR plant treats sewage for a population equivalent of 2000 to meet a final effluent quality of 5/5/1 (BOD/SS/NH3-N). The plant consists of 4 biological reactors, each containing 6 Membrane modules using flat sheet membrane panels to provide ultra-filtration.

Ballinhassig WwTW
Co. Cork
Plant In Use - 2005

Ballinhassig MBR

The Membright® MBR plant for Halfway/ Ballinhassig has been designed and constructed for a future design poulation of 450. As the actual flows and loads increase in phases as new housing is constructed, the plant has been optimised for the initial lower levels of flow & load. The final effluent quality required is 5/5/5/1 (BOD/SS/TN/P) which is easily being achieved by the plant, which was installed in early 2005.

Biological Aerated Flooded Filter - BAFF
BIOBEAD
®

Beckley WwTW
Southern Water
Plant In Use - 2005

Beckley BAFF

The Beckley BAFF plant treats sewage for a population equivalent of 1300 to meet a final effluent consent of 10/20/3 (BOD/SS/NH3-N). In addition to the tight consent the plant needed to fit on to the existing compact site. The plant consists of 3 reactors tanks, each 3.5m by 1.95m in plan, with the tanks supplied in packaged steel tank format. The plant has been producing a 95%ile effluent better than 4/5/1.

Woolton WwTW
United Utilities

Plant In Use - 2004

The Woolton BAFF plant treats sewage for a population equivalent of 48,000 to meet a final effluent quality of 10/20/2 (BOD/SS/NH3-N). The plant consists of 6 biological reactors, each 5.5m by 11.0m in plan.

Diffused Aeration Systems
B220 FBDA

Rye Meads STW
Thames Water
Plant In Use - 2004

Aeration Plant

A total of 28,000 Brightwater F.L.I. B220 EPDM Membrane Diffusers were installed as part of the Rye Meads STW aeration project. The scheme involved the refurbishment of 12 existing aeration lanes together with the installation of new FBDA equipment in 2 new aeration lanes. Brightwater F.L.I.'s scope also included the air main pipework and valves.

Arroyo Culebro WwTW
Madrid, Spain
Plant In Use - 2004

The new works scheme comprised two phases, Phase 1 with 6 lanes (3,960 diffusers) and Phase 2 with 16 lanes (24,000 diffusers). In addition to the supply of Brightwater F.L.I. B220 EPDM Membrane Diffusers, the contract included the supply of uPVC pipe laterals, headers, footers and pipe supports. Off-site oxygen transfer efficiency (SOTE) testing successfully demonstrated performance well above the client specification.

Submerged Aerated Filter - SAF
HSAF
®

Waddesdon STW
Thames Water

Plant In Use 2005

  HSAF Unit

The HSAF®-M6 Package Plant was supplied to Thames Water on temporary hire to support the existing treatment prior to a full works upgrade. The temporary unit was configured for tertiary treatment following existing percolating filters and upstream of the humus settlement.

Kilberry STW
Co.Kildare, Republic of Ireland

Plant In Use 2005

  KIlberry SAF

The HSAF® Package Plant was supplied to treat the effluent from a Horticultural Peat processing and packing plant. The HSAF® utilises a GRP treatment tank, which is installed below ground level, and comprises 2 biological zones and a filter zone. In addition, a second GRP tank is used to house inlet & outlet holding/ pump sumps.

Moving Bed Bio-Reactor - MBBR
MBBR

Landfill Site
UK
Plant In Use - 2004

 

The Brightwater F.L.I. MBBR plant operates on very high ammonia influents being located at a landfill site to treat the landfill leachate. The single reactor steel tank contains the mobile plastic ring media and the coarse bubble aeration sparge, which provides continuous process air to the treatment process.

Tertiary Filtration
FILTABEAD
®

Exmouth STW
South West Water
Plant In Use - 1998

Filtabead Plant

Exmouth STW utilises 5 Filtabead® tanks for tertiary filtration. The Filtabead® provides secure suspended solids removal as well as featuring a low headloss across the unit. A Brightwater F.L.I. buoyant plastic granular media is used for filtration, which can be readily fluidised for periodic cleaning.

Induced Air Flotation - IAF
Jameson Cell

Punchestown Racecourse
Co.Kildare, Rep. of Ireland
Plant In Use - 2002

The Racecourse at Punchestown experiences large fluctuations in effluent due to the seasonality of the horse racing season. The Jameson Cell induced air flotation plant is used to remove fats and greases prior to further treatment.
