VWTUK’S MBBR Technology Provides The Solution to Stricter Ammonia Discharge Levels

To improve the quality of water courses and protect aquatic life, stricter discharge limits were introduced by the regulator Ofwat and the Government’s Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP). A large water treatment facility's current plant was not capable of meeting the tightened limits of 1.3mg/l of ammonia, 60mg/l of solids and 40mg/l of biological oxygen demand, so additional treatment steps were required.

VWT UK recommended its AnoxKaldnes™ Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology for ammonia and BOD removal, combined with its Hydrotech Disc Filter to capture the suspended solids.
