BOD Reduction

The ActiveCell™ process is ideally suited for carbonaceous BOD/COD removal applications.

ActiveCell processes retain a large volume of biofilm within the biological wastewater treatment process. As a result, degradation of biodegradable contaminants are sustained in highly compact tank sizes. Without the requirement to return sludge, the process provides increased protection against toxic shock, while automatically adjusting to load fluctuations.

Benefits for BOD Reduction include:

  • High Land-Use Efficiency
  • Unattended operation
  • Expandable by simple addition of biofilm carriers and air by volume

Typical applications include:

  • Industrial wastewater treatment to reduce BOD to below 250 mg/L
  • Groundwater treatment to reduce phenol levels to less than 1 mg/L
  • Municipal wastewater treatment to achieve < 10 mg/L of BOD
  • Lagoon elimination
