ANOX-R

ANOX-R: A Leading-Edge Solution for Industrial Wastewater Treatment

The treatment of industrial wastewater poses unique challenges due to the diverse nature of contaminants and the strict discharge limits imposed by environmental regulations. To meet these demands, USFilter/Davco developed the ANOX-R system, an advanced treatment technology that effectively removes a wide range of pollutants from wastewater, ensuring compliance with environmental standards.

What is ANOX-R?

ANOX-R is an acronym for Anoxic Oxidation. It is a biological treatment process that utilizes a specialized microbial community to remove organic pollutants, nutrients, and other contaminants from industrial wastewater. The system operates in a series of reactors that create specific environments for the growth and activity of these microbes.

Key Features of the ANOX-R System:

• Enhanced Biological Oxidation: The ANOX-R process employs a unique combination of aerobic and anoxic conditions, allowing for the efficient oxidation of both biodegradable and recalcitrant organic compounds.
• Nutrient Removal: The system effectively removes nitrogen and phosphorus, two key nutrients that can cause eutrophication in receiving waters.
• Enhanced Sludge Settleability: ANOX-R processes minimize the production of excess sludge, reducing operational costs associated with sludge handling and disposal.
• Adaptable Design: The system can be tailored to meet specific industrial needs, incorporating various configurations and treatment stages.
• Improved Effluent Quality: ANOX-R consistently produces high-quality effluent that meets or exceeds regulatory standards for discharge.

Applications of ANOX-R:

The ANOX-R system finds application in a wide range of industries, including:

• Food & Beverage: Treatment of wastewater from breweries, wineries, dairies, and food processing facilities.
• Chemical & Pharmaceutical: Removal of organic pollutants, heavy metals, and other contaminants from chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing wastewater.
• Pulp & Paper: Treatment of wastewater from pulp and paper mills, reducing organic load, color, and odor.
• Textile & Leather: Efficient removal of dyes, detergents, and other contaminants from textile and leather processing wastewater.

Advantages of the ANOX-R System:

• High Efficiency: The system consistently achieves high removal rates for a broad range of contaminants.
• Cost-Effectiveness: The ANOX-R process reduces operational costs through efficient resource utilization and minimal sludge production.
• Environmental Sustainability: The technology promotes environmentally friendly wastewater treatment, minimizing the impact on receiving waters.
• Flexibility and Adaptability: The system can be customized to suit specific industrial requirements.

Conclusion:

The ANOX-R system by USFilter/Davco represents a significant advancement in industrial wastewater treatment technology. Its ability to effectively remove a wide array of contaminants, its cost-effectiveness, and its environmental sustainability make it an ideal choice for industries seeking a reliable and efficient solution to their wastewater treatment needs.
