BioMag®

BioMag technology is proven technology that can achieve low effluent suspended solids, BOD, nitrogen, and phosphorus concentrations in a compact footprint. Employing BioMag technology will substantially reduce biological treatment reactor volume requirements and dramatically decrease the footprint needed for BOD and nitrogen removal. The key to its effectiveness is its marked ability to increase secondary settling rates and thicken the sludge blanket.

BioMag technology enhances biological wastewater treatment processes by using magnetite to ballast biological floc. With a specific gravity of 5.2 and a strong affinity for biological solids, magnetite substantially increases the settling rate of the biomass.

Increasing settling rates of the biological floc provides the opportunity to increase mixed liquor (MLSS) concentration. A higher MLSS concentration enables the treatment of increased hydraulic flows or surges and loadings, all within the same tankage.

The BioMag process is a perfect application for activated sludge plants needing more treatment capacity or enhanced nutrient removal capability, at a cost far less than MBR technology.
