1 Aerobic Granular Sludge System

2 Aerobic Granular Sludge Definition True microbial biomass (no carrier!) Minimum particle diameter of ~ 0.2 mm (1-2mm optimum size) AGS SVI5 is comparable to SVI30 of typical activated sludge

3 Aerobic Granular Sludge Granule Structure PAO Denitrifiers Nitrifiers Aerobic Anoxic Anaerobic Conventional Activated Sludge Mixed Microbial Community Aerobic Granular Sludge Layered Microbial Community

4 Aerobic Granular Sludge Excellent Settling Properties Increased MLSS Granules 8 g/l or more SVI 5 Flocs 4 g/l SVI 5

5 Granule Formation Selection Mechanisms 1) Hydraulic selection for fast settling particles 2) Biology selection of EPS forming microorganisms PAO / GAO s

6 Operational Description

7 AquaNereda Process Flow Influent Effluent Grit Removal and Screening Pre-EQ (if needed) AGS Reactors Tertiary Filtration and Disinfection (if needed) Side Stream Sludge Thickening Digester

8 AquaNereda Process Cycle

9 Process Characteristics

10 Characteristics Excellent settling properties Up to 75 % smaller footprint Up to 50% energy savings Increased capacity Sustainable robust technology No support media No bulking sludge Chemical savings Source: T.R. Devlin Aerobic Granular Sludge Presentation
