Innovative Design Concept

This FRP Capsule Package Wastewater Treatment System, CAB – Series consists of a modified four-
compartments, where the first compartment is used for primary settling of the household wastewater. The
second compartment contains the submerged plastic media around which air, supplied by a blower, is
diffused.

This technology uses both attached and suspended growth in an aerobic packed bed, the
second chamber to achieve the nitrification of wastewater (i.e., conversion of ammonium to nitrate)
entering from the primary settling chamber. The recycling of a portion of the nitrified effluent back to the
anoxic settling chamber makes possible the de-nitrate step of the process (i.e., conversion of nitrate to
nitrogen gas).

Process Flow
The CAB process provides the ideal environment for rapid bacterial growth by ensuring plenty of
oxygen and food are equally distributed to the bacteria layered upon the surfaces of the media. Our
moveable fixed film media provides a high surface-to-volume ratio to maintain exceptional microbial
growth during low, average and peak usage. Bacteria become “fixed” or attached to the movable
media where the abundant, diverse and self-regulating population of microbes is consistently maintained
in the aeration zone to metabolize the waste.

CAB maintains stable performance because the abundant bacterial population is attached to
the media and does not wash out of the aeration zone. During times of low usage, the large volumes of
thriving organisms delay a dying-off of the system, making CAB well suited to intermittent use
applications. Unlike conventional activated-sludge (suspended-growth systems), bacteria grow on the
media and feed on incoming waste, leaving the circulated liquid essentially clear and free of solids.
Above-ground blower, the systems only moving part, introduces air (oxygen) into the system to facilitate
a robust circulation of wastewater through the media.

Eventually, the robust circulation of air and liquid through the system creates a sloughing effect on
the thick biomass growth, which creates a self-cleaning action, eliminating the need for any media
maintenance. Sloughed solids then settle to the bottom of the tank for later removal. High levels of
bacteria and other useful microbes in the bioreactor aeration zone provide stable operation, break
down biodegradable constituents in the wastewater, prevent bulking conditions and settling problems,
and yield a significantly longer sludge age than conventional plants. A long sludge age achieves
nitrification and denitrification much easier, operates more effectively in cold climates, and produces less
sludge.

Technical Specifications
Materials of construction: The tank body made from Fiberglass Reinforced
Plastic.
CAB Installation: CAB system tank are mounted above ground/below
ground applications.
Manhole: Diameter 550mm made from FRP/Concrete/Steel
Pipe material: Poly Vinyl Chloride, PVC
Media material: High Density Polyethylene
Under Ground FRP-WWT
Flexible joints: Metal wire reinforced Rubber

Capacity: CAB systems are available in several convenient, affordable sizes

and configurations. Multiple CAB modules, in parallel or in series, can be
used to achieve higher flows or treatment capacities.
Dispersal Options: Check your local regulations. The extraordinarily high
treatment levels may allow reductions in drain field areas, use of treated
water for irrigation or other innovative discharge methods.
Power Required: Electrical components are available to meet all electrical
Above Ground FRP-WWT
specifications (volt/phase/frequency).
Maintenance Requirements: Once installed, CAB systems are virtually maintenance free. The only moving part in the
system is an above ground blower placed up to 30 m away. Periodic review of electronic components and residual
or sludge levels recommended and will need to be removed when appropriate.
