The Organica Water Food Chain Reactor Solution

THE ORGANICA FOOD CHAIN REACTOR (FCR)


The Organica Food Chain Reactor (FCR) facility is a type of
Fixed-Film Activated Sludge system using natural (plant roots)

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.

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.
