Case Studies

18. CASE STUDY Marines Municipal WWTP Spain, 2007 IFAS Configuration (380 m 3 /d) 19.

Upgrade of plant capacity (50%)

Upgrade of quality (Nitrogen and Phosphorous removal)

Minimal down time upgrade completed in 5 days (!)

CASE STUDY Marines Municipal WWTP Spain, 2007 IFAS Configuration (380 m 3 /d) Actual Value (Avg.) Requirement Parameter 5.7 < 20 BOD 5 6.0 < 25 TSS 7.6 < 15 TN 0.9 < 10 NH 4 -N 0.8 < 5 TP 21.0 - COD 3.4 - NO 3 -N 20.

The AGAR system by Aqwise was deployed

in just five days. It immediately reached desired

Nitrogen and Phosphorus biological removal levels

Aqwises solution stabilized the effluent quality

below EU requirements, despite food industry

discharge peaks and 20% flow over design
