Siemens Industry Automation Division will provide a 750,000-gallons per day interchange sequencing batch reactor (ISBR) system to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Palmerton, Pennsylvania, US.
The ISBR system will be an integral part of the plant’s upgrade, to meet effluent limits and to significantly reduce sludge production and associated hauling costs.
The system will provide the plant with biological treatment that meets these limits while minimizing the amount of sludge produced by the biological treatment plant.
The ISBR technology will combine the Omniflo SBR system with the Cannibal solids reduction system.
The system will help the plant to optimize overall performance and serve as a single point-of-contact for the process, and also balance ISBR system operating conditions to help maintain effluent quality at varying flows and loadings.
