Tesca Aerobic Water Treatment Pilot Plant 32485 is an activated sludge pilot plant consists of an oxidation reactor and of a settler according to the traditional diagram of single-stage sewage treatment process.
Biomass is oxidized in a reactor with agitator by the air blown by a compressor. The processed liquid is then sent to the settler.
The sludges settling on settler bottom are recycled by a recirculation pump into the oxidation tank.
The water flowing out of the settler is conveyed to a drain.
Data acquisition is carried out by a specific software.
