Caring for nature When buying the Unit, you help fight environmental and water pollution. Every installed and functioning Unit contributes to reducing the amount of dirty water released into the environment. The water obtained after the treatment of wastewater in the Unit can be discharged into the ground or water bodies without affecting the ecological system.
Selection of installation Preparation for location: construction: Location for installation of the Unit must be The wastewater pipe from the source to selected so that the treated water can flow the Unit must be laid with a slope suitable automatically (see Principal diagram 1). for gravity flow of wastewater.

Treatment process Typical AT series wastewater treatment units of AUGUST IR KO JSC are supplied in a single container, comprising: anaerobic-anoxic zones (1a-d), aeration zone (2) and secondary settler (3). The anaerobic-anoxic zone is divided by partitions into the descending and ascending flow sections (1a, 1b, 1c and 1d), creating the so- called “vertical flow labyrinth”.
Mechanical and electrical devices Mechanical equipment consists of the solids bag (integrated in a domestic sewage treatment plant), a blower, an air distribution manifold with valves, airlifts 1, 2, 3 and aeration elements. Solids bag The solids bag is used for separation of gross solids from wastewater (biodegradable, soluble solids (paper, kitchen waste, etc.).

Diffuser Airlifts The number and length of aeration elements Mixing, circulation and activated sludge vary in wastewater treatment plants depending and wastewater recirculation in the system are on the amount of oxygen needed to dissolve. ensured by airlifts 1, 2 and 3. High quality aeration elements are made with a non-clogging membrane, polypropylene and Airlift 1 –...

Process of excess sludge removal from the Unit Blower is off. Aeration and agitation in the biological reactor is stopped. Also, the operation of airlifts 1, 2 and 3 is stopped. The contents of the biological reactor must be settled for 30 minutes. The settled sludge must then be pumped out 1000 of the bottom of the biological reactor...
Security The Unit may be serviced by a person aged 18 or over who is objectively able to perform this job. Such a person must be familiar with the operating procedures. Any work on the electrical part of the Unit must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with legal regulations and standards in force.
