Water is a scarse element which is nevertheles used
extensively in almost any industry and municipality
around the world. Making sure used water or
wastewater is treated before released into the
environment again
self-respecting is therefore
company a key-process for every
and authority.
Principle
The new 3rd generation UNITANK® is a very performing
and modern wastewater treatment system based on widely-
known biological treatment processes:

be perfectly designed for any type and amount of domestic
sewage water.
Process Description
The UNITANK® BASIC configuartion consists of one reactor
divided into three compartments. These are hydraulically
connected by an opening in the common connecting walls.
Each compartment is equipped with an aeration system. The A typical feature is the absence of a separate sedimentation
outer compartments also have an overflow system (SEOS) tank with scraper and the absence of a sludge recirculation.
UNITANK® is a perfect match of the classic "fully mixed"
activated sludge systems and the discontinuous working
"batch" systems (SBR), taking the best of both technologies.
UNITANK® can be built in a rectangular as well as in a
circular shape.The latter version is either available in
concrete or in steel.
The UNITANK® ADVANCED configuration is specially
designed for advanced biological removal of nitrogen and/or
phosphorus The concept has one or two extra compartments
(anoxic and/or anaerobic) and a system for internal
recirculation of mixed liquor.
As for UNITANK® BASIC, the UNITANK® ADVANCED
