AnoxKaldnes Presents a process of treatment of effluents with high load of ammonium

AnoxKaldnes, the expert subsidiary in depuración biological with mobile mulch of Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies, presents the new process Anita Mox for the treatment of effluents with high load of ammonium. This new process gives answer to the increasing existent demand for the treatment of the returns of the debuggers of waste water, so much municipal like industrial. Based in the depuración biological with mobile mulch (MBBR), the process Anita Mox realises the elimination of ammonium thanks to the employment of producing bacteria of nitrite and another specific biomass designated annamox, that develop in shape of biopelícula in the plastic support in suspension and in continuous movement in an only reactor.

Unlike other conventional solutions, Anita Mox is a process that presents a big stability in front of the variations of load in the tributary, requires until 60% less than aireación and the production of fango can arrive to be 90% inferior thanks to the slow growth of the bacteria employed. One of the main advantages of the process roots in the employment of plastic support colonised with bacteria anammox, what allows to reduce the times of set up of new installations to less than 6 months. To realise the elimination of ammonium, the process Anita Mox does not need to employ any external source of carbon, by what reduces the costs of operation and has lower environingingmental impact. It calculates that the reductions of broadcasts of CO₂ are of until 85%.
