AGAR® PnP (Plug-n-Play) – Decentralized prefabricated units
AGAR® PnP (Plug and Play)
Water scarcity, sustainable development, groundwater pollution, climate change, urbanization and increasing demands on resources are changing traditional forms of water/wastewater management and treatment. Additionally, in many rural areas around the world, there is a great distance between remote communities and large, centralized WWTPs. Connecting these populations to the plants requires extensive pipelines infrastructure at a significantly high capital investment.
Advantages to decentralized WWTPs:
- Eliminates the need to lay long sewage pipes
- Provides an alternative local water source for irrigation, cooling towers, and drinking water
- Reduces groundwater pollution from potential infiltration
- Lower carbon and environmental footprints
AGAR® PnP (Plug and Play) offers containerized units for small decentralized WWTP. The product is based on our AGAR® MBBR technology and provides the same advantages of MBBR in a small prefabricated unit.
Features
- Plug & Play systems
- Easy installation and startup
- Fast recovery
- Complete and fully automated WWTP in a 40′ HC container
- Can be shipped to any location around the world
- Various process configurations: MBBR-MC/ MBBR-BNR/+tertiary treatment
- Tertiary treatment according to effluent quality
- Proprietary MC system solids separation with minimal need for chemicals
Benefits
- Off the shelf product – short supply time to any location
- Very simple to operate
- Highly resistant process with short recovery time
- Transportable units
- High resistance to hydraulic & toxic shocks
For the past two decades, Aqwise has supplied and operated decentralized units for municipal, industrial and private clients. AGAR® PnP unit treatment capacity is between 170 to 300 m3/day (1,300 to 2,100 PEQ) based on inlet/outlet quality and site conditions.
Tertiary treatment unit can be added for clients that require higher effluent quality for irrigation, toilet flushing and cooling towers
An AGAR® PnP is available in 3 major configurations:
- BOD removal only: 20 mg/L BOD, 30 mg/L TSS
- BOD & nitrogen removal: 20 mg/L BOD, 30 mg/L TSS, 15 mg/L TN
- BOD & tertiary treatment: 10 mg/L BOD, 10 mg/L TSS, 15 mg/L TN
The AGAR® PnP is the optimal decentralized WWTP for:
- Small or remote communities
- Green residential & office buildings
- Resorts & hotels
- Industrial and business parks
- Mines
- Marine platforms
- Rest areas
