Fed up with a wastewater treatment system poorly equipped to deal with variable flow conditions, one retreat and camp facility thought FAST® and found a more effective and operator-friendly solution.

The Brentwood-engineered AccuFAS Submerged Fixed-Film system adds a fixed-growth surface for biomass to provide enhanced biological treatment and increase capacity for municipal and industrial wastewater. Composed of Brentwood’s structured-sheet, fixed-film media, AccuFAS was developed to optimize airflow and mixing while maximizing contact between the waste stream and biomass.

Brentwood’s SedVac Sediment Removal System can be used across a wide range of sludge removal applications because of its ability to remove the compression zone layer of settled solids that traditional pipe systems leave behind. SedVac’s unique design funnels the sludge and scrapes the floor, resulting in consistent solids removal of 3 percent concentration without wasting water or clogging.

How would you determine what the future of the water industry looks like? Who would you ask and perhaps more importantly, whose opinion would you trust?

Over the years many different things have been attempted to assist in degrading the organic matter that builds up in the “sludge” on the bottom of recreational ponds, wastewater lagoons, fish grow-out ponds and small, shallow lakes.

The Sludge Sucker™ unit is a cable-driven sludge removal mechanism that provides cost-effective and efficient removal of lightweight sludges, such as alum or ferric hydroxide, or light iron and manganese precipitates from rectangular settling basins.

WesTech granular activated carbon (GAC) pressure contactors are an effective means for removal of various-molecular-weight contaminants from aqueous solutions. They are especially suited for the removal of dissolved organic compounds responsible for poor taste and odor in drinking water, as well as removal of a variety of contaminants that can be found in industrial and municipal waters.
