Functional Description 

 

 

The wastewater treatment plant works according to the activated sludge principle using the 
retention process (single tank or SBR plant). With this, the contaminants from the wastewater are 
taken up by suspended micro-organisms (activated sludge) and converted into biomass.  
 
The wastewater first reaches the coarse interceptor. Every 2 hours – according to the principle of a 
communicating pipe and with the aid of an excess sludge pump – the retained wastewater is fed 
into the aeration stage. The aeration takes place intermittently via a submersible motor aerator or 
with a compressor and membrane tube diffusers on the tank bottom (CLASSIC ZB).  
After 6 hours the aeration phase ends and the settling phase begins.  
 
After 2 hours settling time the treated wastewater is pumped out using the clarified water pump. 
The switch-off point is determined via a float switch. If, as a result of a pump defect, this minimum 
water level is not achieved an alarm is triggered. After ca. 8 hours, with the end of the clarified 
water removal, the cycle is ended and a new one begins. 
 
The control unit can be matched to the respective requirement case. With commissioning the plant 
is set to the maximum number of persons connected. A modification of this setting is not required 
with short-term over or underloading. 
 
The plant achieves its full treatment performance after a run-up period of ca. one month. With more 
extreme underloading or temperatures under 12° C it can also take longer until the biology has 
developed completely. In this case it is recommended to seed using activated sludge in order to 
accelerate matters.

 BASIC charging, removal of excess sludge and the drawing off of clarified 

water take place using only one pump. The water streams with this are fed into the individual areas 
using a patented hydraulic system.
