EcoMat's Nitrate Removal Carrier Technology
It has been known for a long time that bacteria immobilization technology
using carrier/media is a useful method for treating wastewater and
groundwater efficiently and economically. This is due to more efficient
use of active bacteria. However, most of the carriers developed and used
in the past exhibited problems such as clogging and high solids
concentrations in effluent streams.
EcoMat has developed a system for treating water, which has solved all the problems previously presented by carriers. The EcoMat system has achieved
a quantum jump in the efficiency of nitrate removal, while offering
customers a major reduction in nitrate removal cost. The essence of our
system is the design of the carrier, which is called ECOLINK.
Advantages of the EcoMat system
with EcoLink:
- Tremendous Surface Area:
Due to the unique structure of EcoLink, the EcoMat
system has a surface area to volume ratio up to 100 times greater than
alternative processes.
- High Loading Rate:
The enormous amount of available surface in EcoLink
permits a very high loading rate. For example, Activated Sludge has a
loading rate of 0.1 Kg-N per cubic meter of sludge per day. EcoMat's
system, with EcoLink has a loading rate as high as 20 Kg-N per cubic meter
of EcoLink per day.
