Wastewater Treatment for Large Communities and Municipalities

EcoSBRprime – Advanced Evolution of the Sequencing Batch Reactor

Building on the proven fundamentals of the Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR), EcoSBRprime has evolved into an advanced solution that removes the need for complex and maintenance-intensive decanting systems, which typically require skilled supervision. This innovation simplifies plant operation while improving overall reliability in modern sewage wastewater treatment plant applications.

EcoSBRprime is capable of treating high volumes of sewage within shorter cycle durations compared to conventional SBR systems. This allows for a reduced reactor footprint without affecting treatment efficiency. By integrating anaerobic and aerobic treatment phases within a single system, it ensures effective COD removal along with reliable nutrient reduction, delivering consistent results expected from a high-performance sewage treatment plant.

Aerobic Granular Sludge in EcoSBRprime – Faster, Smarter Treatment

In the EcoSBRprime process, Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) replaces conventional activated sludge, significantly shortening both the treatment process and each operational cycle.

Step 1
Aeration / Biological Treatment

Purification begins even before aeration starts, with COD rapidly converted to polymers, lowering oxygen demand. Intermittent aeration further reduces organic pollutants while enabling simultaneous nutrient removal.

Step 2
Settling / Sedimentation

Large, dense sludge granules settle within minutes, creating a clear water zone at the top.

Step 3
Filling / Clear Water Removal

Inlet filling occurs concurrently with clear water displacement from the reactor, saving time and increasing efficiency.

The AGS-driven EcoSBRprime process combines speed, stability, and nutrient removal efficiency—delivering high-quality treated water in less time with reduced energy demand.

Modular Biological Treatment for Higher Efficiency and Reliability

The EcoSBRprime system, when deployed in multiple parallel modules, maximizes the utilization of mechanical equipment and minimizes idle time. Sewage can be fed directly through a bar screen or via pumping from pre-collection tanks into individual reactors.

By overlapping treatment cycles between reactors, a single blower can be effectively used to serve more than one reactor simultaneously, optimizing energy use. This modular configuration also allows the EcoSBRprime to operate with continuous inflow and outflow, despite being a batch process—providing operational flexibility similar to continuous-flow systems.

The incorporation of Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) further enhances efficiency by reducing sludge production, lowering sludge handling needs, and minimizing disposal volumes. The result is a robust, cost-effective, and easily scalable treatment solution for diverse load conditions.

Precision in Machinery Placement for Reliable STP Operation

In the operation of a sewage treatment plant, the machine room design and strategic placement of equipment are critical for long-term reliability. Every EcoSBR plant uses carefully selected, high-quality machinery to ensure smooth and trouble-free performance.

Automation and IoT-based continuous monitoring depend on expert operational support, while pre-scheduled service and maintenance alerts from the control system keep operators informed for timely upkeep of machinery and components.

Our engineers and designers place special emphasis on:

  • Optimal equipment placement for ease of access during repairs and maintenance

  • Protection from weather conditions to extend service life

  • Corrosion prevention against gases produced during treatment

  • Safety measures for both personnel and equipment
