Damüls, Austria – Prepared for the future in wastewater treatment!

CFAS® from Biowater Technology – A smart way to upgrade existing plants for total nitrogen removal.

Due to the new stringent regulations by the European Wastewater Treatment Directive, the municipality of Damüls needed a way to achieve total nitrogen removal within their existing treatment plant.

DAMÜLS claimed in 2006 as the snowiest village in the world, Damüls is a small municipality in Austria. The municipality has its principal activities in the winter tourism. The population varies largely from the winter and the other seasons, which impacts the wastewater flow to be treated.

Background:

Biowater Technology was contacted by Dr. Richard Moosbrugger from IB-MR in Austria, the consultant of the Damüls Municipality in August 2020, and together worked to find the best solution to upgrade an existing plant to achieve the new requirements for nitrogen and ammonia removal. The solution was to upgrade the existing pure activated sludge plant to a hybrid system, with reuse of of the existing basins upgraded to CFAS® process from Biowater Technology and introduce mixing within existing basins.

The plant had originally thirteen basins, being that two pre clarifiers; five sludge tanks and four activated sludge tanks. The upgrade was done by converting two reactors into denitrification reactors, four to CFAS ® reactors; and adapting some of the sludge tanks to activated sludge reactors. The solution was designed for all conditions that permit the removal requirements in two scenarios:

Winter, when the population triples and in the summer. In summer scenario some reactors will be put out of operation, which will reduce the operational costs.

The plant must perform removal of ammonia lower than 5 mg NH₄-N/l in any temperature and nitrogen removal of 70% for temperature higher than 12^oC.

The performance of the plant is:

- 97,7 % COD removal with final effluent with 15 mg/l COD.

- Ammonia close to 0 mg/l

- and 82,4% for TN removal with final effluent close to 15 mg/l.

Biowater Technology signs FEED study with Slamsug AS, Ålesund Norway

Biowater Technology is proud to have signed the FEED study (Front-End Engineering Design) with Slamsug AS, Ålesund Norway for their future unique and sustainable project, where we will design facilities for industrial wastewater. This marks an important step in our and Slamsug AS’s commitment towards environmentally friendly and sustainable waste management.

The FEED study will serve as the blueprint for the development of an advanced wastewater treatment plant specifically designed to handle and treat industrial wastewater in compliance with strict environmental regulations. By utilizing our expertise in the industry, Biowater Technology together with Slamsug aims to set new standards for responsible treatment of industrial wastewater.

Main objectives of the FEED study:

1. Technology evaluation: The study will assess and select cutting-edge technologies that ensure effective and safe treatment, and minimize the external environment.

2. Comprehensive risk analysis: A thorough risk assessment will be conducted to identify potential challenges and implement robust measures to mitigate any environmental or operational risks associated with the abatement.

3. Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring compliance with local and national industrial purification regulations according to IED will be a priority throughout the FEED study, laying the foundation for a facility that meets BAT-AEL requirements.

4. Resource optimization: The study will explore opportunities for resource recovery and recycling in the treatment process, in line with circular economy principles.

Commenting on the launch of the FEED study, Stefan Kjørsvik, Commercial Manager at Biowater Technology, said: «The project with Slamsug AS is an example of our commitment to responsible environmental management. The FEED study is a critical phase and lays the foundation for a facility that not only meets BAT-AEL IED requirements, but exceeds expectations in terms of safety, efficiency and sustainability. «

Hans-Christian Haugen, CEO of Slamsug AS comments: «Slamsug AS is very pleased to have Biowater Technology on this project to perform the critical part of design, engineering and construction. The professionalism, experience and, not least, the understanding of the environment and sustainability was an important and decisive factor«

About Biowater Technology: Biowater Technology are experts in the design and delivery of tailor-made biological solutions for wastewater treatment. We develop and implement our own next-generation treatment technology to meet the growing global challenges of water treatment and climate change. In this way, we work every day, and on every project to ensure a sustainable future.

For questions or more information about the FEED study, solutions and this project, please contact Stefan Kjørsvik from Biowater Technology for further questions.
