Paper Mill Progression: Toscopaper's Wastewater Advancement
Overview: Toscopaper, a paper mill in Tuscany, Italy, sought to achieve river-quality effluent discharge while facing space constraints. A new WWTP was constructed, employing Aqwise Technologies MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) and SRM. This innovative solution accommodates peak conditions and high calcium content, with potential for future expansion.
Bluegen Water Solution: The upgraded WWTP features a 3-stage MBBR, including an IFAS option for increased sludge age and improved COD treatment. A final DAF unit precedes the river discharge pipe, ensuring compliance with effluent quality standards. The system’s flexibility enables a 30% increase in paper production capacity, with provisions for future anaerobic treatment. Installation was completed swiftly, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.
AGAR® MBBR ensures high removal efficiency of organic loads and solids, adapting to varying conditions.
The system offers a rapid return on investment, enhancing cost-effectiveness for Toscopaper.
Despite limited space, the WWTP’s compact design maximizes efficiency without compromising performance.
The continuous integration of MBBR technology enables swift installation, minimizing downtime.
