EIMCO Water Technologies proudly introduces new technology to the water environment industry. With its Cleartec® System, EIMCO is offering the market a "better mousetrap" when it comes to Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS) technology. In general, an IFAS system combines attached biomass with suspended biomass and allows capacity expansion without adding aeration basins to a facility; specifically, a solid media is immersed in the aeration basin of the activated sludge process. EIMCO's Cleartec® System offers an IFAS system that focuses on the quality of the attached biomass rather than just the quantity of the attached biomass. The Cleartec® System solves problems of media loss and breakage over short periods of time as well as problems of nuisance organisms. It promotes a thin-film attached biomass that lowers requirements due to lower required DO levels, that offers homogeneous rather than stratified aerobic bio-film, that offers controlled and steady-state sloughing of the bio-film, and that minimizes the possibility of nuisance organisms. The Cleartec® System cultivates the attached biomass in a high-shear environment without compromising the "credited" attached biomass.
