PWEA BioMag(TM) Pilot Study Presentation

Buchart Horn’s Mike Schober, PE & Jeff Culton, PE presented the Pilot Test results of a BioMag^TM Enhanced Nutrient Removal (ENR) Process at PWEA’s (Pennsylvania Water Environment Association’s) 8^th Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition. The ENR activated sludge Pilot process is successfully operating at the Winebrenner WWTP in Cascade, MD. A link to their presentation is at the end of this article.

BioMag^TM enhances biological wastewater treatment processes by using magnetite to ballast biological floc. With a specific gravity of 5.2 and a strong affinity for biological solids, magnetite substantially increases the settling rate of the biomass. Increasing settling rates of the biological floc provides the opportunity to increase mixed liquor (MLSS) concentration. A higher MLSS concentration enables the treatment of increased hydraulic flows or surges and loadings, all within the same tankage. BioMag^TM is a perfect application for activated sludge plants of all types needing more treatment capacity and enhanced nutrient removal capability, at a cost far less than MBR technology

BioMag^TM technology has achieved effluent suspended solids, BOD, nitrogen, and phosphorus concentrations in a compact footprint. BioMag substantially reduces biological treatment reactor volume requirements and dramatically decreases the footprint needed for BOD and nitrogen removal.
