SBR(Sequential Batch Reactor)Treatment process
• Sludge is enriched with oxygen to set in motion a biological process. The plant
features a pre-treatment coarse catch tank , a buffer tank, the reactor and an optional
storage tank. The plate diffusers, sludge- and Clearwater disposal are driven by an air
pressure system.

Biological Oxygen Demand
• Dissolved or suspended oxidizable organic material in wastewater is a food source for
micro-organisms.
• Digestion of this food requires oxygen. The oxygen content of the water will ultimately
be decreased by the amount required to digest the dissolved or suspended food.
• The so-called 5-day BOD measures the amount of oxygen consumed by biochemical
oxidation of waste contaminants in a 5-day period.
• The BOD value is expressed in milligrams of oxygen consumed per litre of sample during
5 days of incubation at 20 °C .

Due to the PLC controls, only 10 hours in a day actively consume power.
Daily power consumption = 120 watts x 10 hours = 1200 watts i.e. =1.2Kwh
