Sequencing Batch Reactor TOPAS S

TOP

Features

TOPAS S is a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) plant equipped with a first chamber working as flow equalization and homogenization.
Wastewater enters in the equalization (accumulation) section and than it is pumped to the activation section (biologic reactor). Aerobic biological treatment takes place in the activation zone which is aerated during filling and reaction phase and than stopped in other phase. During the sedimentation phase sludge settles at the bottom of the tank and than clarified water is discharged with a special system (decanter). The treatment process is regulated via a control unit with a special programme. Sludge from the activation tank is automatically drawn off to a separate sludge tank which is regularly emptied.

Small wastewater treatment TOPAS S has a variable inlet from 0.4 to 1.2 m below the ground level.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION

The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) ensures an automatic and continuous operation depending on the volume of inflowing wastewater.
The control unit enables a special mode to be set for treatment of non-standard wastewater (heavily or slightly polluted).
Potential defects are signalled on the control unit and can be sent via SMS or by email.
The mobile phone can be used for adjusting treatment parameters, checking the amount of treated water or operating parameters of all the system and for remote control of the plant operation
See Accessories or TOPAS GSM module.

ENERGY SAVINGS

If within the set time the control unit does not detect any inflow of wastewater, it starts the stand-by mode under which the blower operates for about only 2 hours a day, saving thus energy and keeping activated sludge alive. TOPAS S can thus guarantee the biological functioning of the biological treatment for at least three months without any wastewater inflow.

SIMPLE OPERATION

All the technological components are attached with plastic clips and can be easily removed for cleaning and maintaining during the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operating life.
Users do not need to handle any control fittings or valves; the control unit automatically adjusts the operation according to the measured volume of wastewater for them.
The treatment process includes an automatic control to maintain an optimal sludge concentration in the WWTP.

HIGH-QUALITY TREATMENT

Treated water complies with all the requirements on discharge to groundwater and surface water; a superior model also ensures the wastewater recycling for non-potable use as watering the garden. See TOPAS S PF model in Blackwater Recycling section.
The WWTP has a treated water storage section that can be equipped with a tertiary treatment if disinfection is required (TOPAS UV lamp).
The dosing system (optional) chemically removing phosphorus operates in dependence on a volume of wastewater measured by the control unit and the required phosphorous (P) concentration request for the effluent (TOPAS dosing equipment).

DESIGN ADVANTAGES

• The TOPAS S is equipped with a settling tank at the inflow and with a separate sludge tank.
• The TOPAS S tank is self-supporting.
• Thanks to the its tank design, the TOPAS S can be placed below the groundwater level.
• All the technological components of the TOPAS S are included in the small wastewater treatment plant.
• The TOPAS S is thermally insulated and suitable for all climates.

Technical Specifications

The steel-plastic tank combines profiled sheet steel and thermoplastics (only rectangle model). It uses advantages of both types of material. The tanks are manufactured by welding segments of the sandwich panel of 80 mm wide. The surface of the sandwich panel is made of thin-walled polypropylene panels and there is a profiled galvanized-steel sheet hermetically sealed in between the walls. Steel contributes to the tank strength based on the static calculation for the required load and the plastic material ensures watertightness of the structure and protection of sheet steel against corrosion. Tanks can be installed both on the terrain surface and in an excavation. Large underground tanks are installed on the concrete baseboard smaller tanks need just sand bedding and as a standard all tanks are designed without necessity to surround the tank with concrete walls. Tanks can also be installed without any structural changes below the groundwater level.
