The AGAR® (Attached Growth Airlift Reactor) technology, employs biofilm grown on carrier media to aerobically degrade wastewater pollutants. With AGAR® IFAS (Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge), we combine this process with MBBR to create a fully integrated system suitable for municipal and industrial markets.
AGAR® IFAS is an ideal solution for upgrading existing activated sludge plants to achieve proper nitrogen removal or for new plants requiring extensive BOD and nitrogen removal. Our system offers COD/BOD/NH4/NO3 removal, with carbon recovery built into the process, and utilizes the advantages of both MBBR and activated sludge.
Our system’s features include a simple, low-cost upgrade for existing activated sludge plants, which can handle high organic/nitrogen loads. The process is efficient even at low temperatures, and low operational expenses make AGAR® IFAS a cost-effective solution. We can retrofit existing basins for easy installation, reducing CAPEX. Overall, AGAR® IFAS provides an efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment solution with significant advantages over conventional systems.
Nitrate contamination in groundwater, primarily stemming from the widespread use of fertilizers in rural areas, poses a significant concern for public health, with links to conditions such as methemoglobinemia, commonly known as "blue baby" disease, and potential carcinogenic effects as per recent research findings.
