Cleartec® IFAS System
Cleartec® IFAS System
The Cleartec Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) System is a highly efficient, small footprint, biological treatment solution.
It consists of a submerged fixed film, polypropylene textile media, which promotes attached growth biomass in an aeration basin. This combination promotes higher concentration of biomass, and improved biological treatment.
The Cleartec IFAS System consists of high-surface area textile curtains that serve as a material substrate for attached-growth biomass. This additional biomass comes in a very compact footprint.
The Cleartec media is held in place with rigid support structures, ensuring no risk of media washout into your discharge streams. Aeration and scour of the media is provided by high-efficiency fine bubble diffusers.
The Cleartec IFAS System is a hybrid treatment approach that combines both activated sludge and attached-growth organisms in a single process, providing the best of both solutions. These systems are capable of full Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and ammonia removal, and can also be easily configured for full Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR).
CLEARTEC IFAS ALSO HAS THE FOLLOWING KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
•Most energy efficient IFAS system on the market
•No media washout
•No need for retention screens as the media is fixed to the bioreactor
•Simple installation
•Easy retrofit, effective alternative for expanding treatment capacity
•Maximised treatment capacity with minimal footprint and without overloading secondary clarifiers
•Promotes nitrification (longer Solids Retention Time (SRT))
•Robust treatment process
