Competitive Advantages
The Agrobics technology, which is based of modified biomass immobilization, has the following advantages as compared to state-of-the-art technologies for treatment of highly loaded organic wastewater:
- High organic loading rate: 50 gCOD/l/d as compared to 15 gCOD/l/d by other methods
- High stability of the process: no loss of biomass by washout and less sensitivity to the effluent quality fluctuations
- Short hydraulic retention time: a day or less as compared to 20 to 50 days in other methods
- Short start-up period: 2 to 3 days as compared to 30 to 60 days needed by other methods
- Larger quantities of biogas
