The Organica Food Chain Reactor (FCR) facility is a type of Fixed-Film Activated Sludge system using natural (plant roots) ADVANTAGES as well as engineered media (inspired by root structures) to With nearly two-decades of experience in allow growth of robust and healthy biomass that effectively the development and design of fixed-film gobbles up the incoming load in the effluent. The plants – wastewater treatment solutions, Organica’s via their roots – not only provide a huge amount of surface FCR (Food-Chain Reactor) represents the best- area, but they also complete the food chain that exists in of-breed in FBAS wastewater treatment plants the biological reactors, thereby enabling a diverse ecology (WWTPs). and resilient biofilm that is able to handle a higher amount of fluctuations in influent quality and quantity compared to • Up to 60% smaller physical footprint conventional suspended or attached growth systems. • 30% or greater reduction in operating expense (OPEX)) • Optimized sludge production • Unique look & feel • Shorter construction time • Resilient and stable system
APPLICATIONS of the FCR facility:
COMPACT SOLUTION, EASY OPERATION • Municipal upgrade One of the key factors in achieving space efficiency is • Real estate development the fact that the Organica FCR can be designed without • Water reuse applications using suspended biomass (MLSS), which ensures that the solids exiting the reactors can be directly fed to a specially • Municipal wastewater treatment designed disc filtration system, thereby eliminating the need for secondary phase separation.

At the heart of an Organica FCR Facility is the Organica Biomodule. Designed to fit This results in the development of a securely into the biological reactors, each distinctive self-regulating ecosystem with Biomodule acts as the support structure operational flexibility and high resilience for both the plants whose roots make up to unexpected influent fluctuations and the primary biofilm carrier, and Organica’s shock-loading. In addition, because the patented biofiber media designed to Biomodules support this unique biofilm mimic the structure and function of the fixed on the root structures, the process plant roots. utilizes much lower suspended solids content in the water (typically 90% less The root structures in turn provide an than conventional suspended growth ideal habitat for a thriving ecosystem – systems). These lower suspended solids both larger (2-4x greater active biomass content improves oxygen transfer per cubic meter of reactor volume) efficiency and results in significant energy and more diverse (3-4x greater species savings.
THE ORGANICA DISCFILTER
The Organica Discfilter is a mechanical filtration de- vice specially designed to remove total suspended solids (TSS) from wastewater streams following bi- ological treatment in an Organica FCR Facility. Each discfilter incorporates a simple, yet sophisticated, design that ensures continuous low-maintenance operation and stable, reuse-quality effluent; all with a drastically reduced footprint over conventional secondary clarification. As an Organica FCR Facility is a fixed-film system uti- lizing biofilm that is attached to root structures, the suspended solids content of the water in the treat- ment process is low (100 – 300 mg/l). This allows the use of Organica Discfilters for phase separation di- rectly after the biological treatment step.
