AGSOR®
Continuous Aerobic Granular Sludge System
- Water Supply & Sewage Facilities
AGSOR® is an advanced wastewater treatment system that utilizes aerobic granular biomass, consisting of microbial particles over 200μm. This innovative process offers superior sludge settling. By directing a portion of the influent wastewater to form and return aerobic granular biomass to the biological reactor, AGSOR® boosts MLSS concentration, enabling treatment speeds 1.5 to 2 times faster than conventional methods. This system improves nitrogen and phosphorus removal, and allows for smaller biological reactors and sedimentation tanks, reducing facility renewal and maintenance costs.
Features
Advantages
How it works
・High MLSS operation by improving sludge sedimentation.
・Applicable to all continuous activated sludge processes.
Capacity Expansion with Smaller Footprint
・1.5-2.0x capacity expansion installed while the existing line is running.
・Small footprint requirements (typically 5-10% of the existing line).
・GFT can be installed without disrupting existing plant operations.
