CSBR
CSBR (CSBR, Continuous flow Sequencing Batch Reactor)

CSBR Process

CSBR process, which is economical in terms of footprint and maintenance costs, is suitable for use with medium and large-scale wastewater treatment facilities. It is a city-friendly construction technology that is advantageous for underground facilities.

  • Applied to 20 facilities in Korea;
    40 facilities around the world

Features

Features

CSBR is a continuous batch advanced
sewage treatment technology that combines A2O and SBR processes.

  • Composed of anoxic tank, anaerobic tank, and aerobic tank, highly efficient nitrogen and phosphorus removal effect.

  • Continuous inflow/discharge of treated effluent without change in water level within the reaction tank, eliminating separate flow control tank and final settling tank > Minimum site area.

  • The process of repeatedly treating A2O process water with SBR process is excellent for responding to load fluctuations.

  • Quintessence sedimentation/discharge of the SBR tank optimizes SS removal efficiency through optimal sludge solid-liquid separation.

Process Flow

Process Flow

CSBR bioreactor is arranged in a configuration of
continuous flow anoxic tank, anaerobic tank and aerobic
tank (A2O process), followed by two symmetrically configured constant level SBR tanks for recycling activated sludge (RAS), batch treatment, quiescent settling and decanting of
treated supernatant.

After the influent undergoes anoxic-anaerobic-aerobic reactions,
it flows into the SBR tanks in the form of sludge mixtures (MLSS).

While one SBR tank is in reaction process performing RAS recycling, batch treatment and quiescent settling, the other SBR tank is in decanting process discharging the treated supernatant. Waste activated sludge (WAS) is withdrawn from the SBR tank
that is in decanting mode.

The SBR tanks operate alternately during 24 hours in a cycle basis, and all of these preocesses are automatically controlled
according to the CSBR operation cycle.

50% footprint reduction(2017)

Treatment plant capacity : 123,000 ㎥/day

  • When a new CSBR treatment plant with the same capacity
    was constructed, the required area was only 45m,
    requiring less than 50% of the site area compared
    to the previous Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS)
    treatment plant.

Rothwell Water Main Equipment

Treated Water Decanter System

  • Safe disposal method and fixed device with 0% failure rate

  • Control using the air pressure of the blower

  • Automatic control linked to level switch

The treated water decanter device (Decanter) is a fixed type that does not change the water level and stably discharges treated water using air pressure through automatic control.

Control Panel System

  • Automatic process control by HMI Logic

  • Touch screen
    Remote automatic operation and monitoring function PLC: Redundancy (power, CPU, communication)

The control panel operates automatically by linking valves, pumps, blowers, etc. required for bioreactor process operation according to the HMI Logic system.

Diffuser System

  • Increased oxygen delivery efficiency

  • Rod type diffuser/disk type diffuser

The diffuser creates fine bubbles or coarse bubbles so that air can be efficiently dissolved in water
in the aerobic tank and SBR tank.

Sludge Transfer System

  • Sludge transport system using blower air pressure

  • Applicable to existing treatment plants

  • No separate power device required

The sludge transfer system (air lift) efficiently controls the MLSS (microorganism mass) of the reaction tank by returning the settled sludge from the SBR tank into the front of the bioreactor using only air pressure without the need of a separate power device.

T-RAS System

  • Sludge drawn evenly across the entire tank

  • Composed of waste surplus sludge pump and piping

T-RAS is a structure that operates a pump during the discharge of treated water to evenly suck and extract the waste sludge accumulated at the bottom of the SBR tank through the holes in the pipe.

Scum Removal Device

  • Self leveling skimmer (floating type)

  • High recovery rate by absorbing only surface scum

The scum removal device is a device that automatically removes scum generated on the water surface by inhaling it. Installation of baffles around prevent scum from being carried to the treated water discharge device (decanter) and induces scum to be collected around the scum skimmer.
