OXCRETE PLUS

Viltra’s OXCRETE PLUS is a biological sewage treatment plant in multiple concrete structures that uses SAF technology to effectively treat sewage. Designed specifically for larger bespoke applications and tailored to suit your site, it provides a very efficient, reliable and cost-effective solution to sewage/effluent disposal for larger applications within sectors such as commercial and industrial, education, conservation and tourism and hospitality, where there is no access to a main sewer and a high effluent quality is required.

Benefits

  • Designed and manufactured in-house from concrete and can be tailored to suit a range of applications

  • Certified up to 300 PE (population equivalent) - larger systems available in shuttered design

  • The versatility of the system allows Viltra to design and install to fit around your landscape and environment

  • Can be installed in trafficked areas

  • Option to install a compact shuttered design if space is an issue on your site

  • Provides a more stringent effluent quality if this is required

  • No complicated control panels within design of the system

  • Straightforward installation

  • Extremely low upkeep and running costs

  • Quiet in operation

  • Customisable for non-standard applications, for example schools, restaurants, hotels, glamping sites and conservation areas

How it works

Viltra's OXCRETE PLUS is a 3-stage sewage treatment plant in multiple concrete structures.

Primary Settlement Tank (PST)

The Primary Settlement Tank is designed to maximize the removal of gross and suspended solids prior to transfer of the settled effluent to biological treatment. The PST is made up of two chambers before the settled wastewater is transferred via an air lift into the Biological Treatment followed by the Final Settlement Chamber. The PST Sedimentation area will remove large and heavy solids such as paper, food and any fast-settling solids.

Biozone (BZ)

The Biological Treatment phase utilises biological SAF technology (Biological Submerged Aerated Filter) which incorporates two proven principles of biological process in the form of a fixed film reactor for process stability and a suspended flock dispersed growth system for high transfer rates and operational control, to ensure a stable treatment process which is largely unaffected by shock loads.

The process incorporates a submerged, high rate, plastic media on which a fixed film of biomass is grown. This film takes nutrition from the incoming settled effluent and is provided with oxygen by means of a blower unit which aerates the media and the water through EPDM fine bubble membrane diffusers.

The action of the fine bubble aeration is carefully designed to provide optimum oxygen transfer rates and to provide a scouring action to slough off excess biomass, keeping the thickness of the fixed biological film at optimum levels, thereby preventing the production of anaerobic bacteria and ensuring maximum process efficiency.

The fact that the media remains submerged allows for an element of suspended flock dispersed growth which basically means that there will be biomass which is “unfixed” to the media but achieves treatment through suspended aeration.

Final Settlement Tank (FST)

The FST is designed to ensure relevant surface areas and raise rates are achieved to provide maximum settlement of any suspended solids prior to discharge.

The final settlement tank incorporates a continuous and automated sludge return system to return excess sludge from the final settlement tank, back to the primary settlement tank.

Additionally, the system also provides for continuous recycling of treated effluent back to the P.S.T. to not only provide dilution of incoming settled effluent but to also ensure continuous flow during periods of low or no flow, thereby keeping the biomass in prime condition.
