ADVANTAGES OF BAS PROCESS

Ecellent settling properties 50-80 ml/g ( conventional plants 100 – 250)

No pulking problems, no filament bacteria Very stable process under big loading variationsLow biosludge production 0,12 kg/ kg COD red. ( Conventional 0, 25 kg/ kg COD red)Small foot print,volume 50% of conventional Low energy consumption / high basins Easy to upgrage existing plants

Sedimentation after 180 Seconds
