Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)

Here at Ovivo, we use efficient, cost-effective wastewater treatment systems such as the membrane bioreactor (MBR). This system has widely become an important processing tool in the treatment of waste liquids. Our Enviroquip MBR systems are straightforward to use and combine clarification, aeration and filtration procedures into a process that reduces capital and operating costs. Submerged Membrane Units (SMU) are connected within the MBR system and contain one or two membrane cassettes with between 25 and 208 membranes to form a permeate manifold. Our Enviroquip MBRs have the highest effluent quality and are structured with a biological process that virtually eliminates pollutants such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), nitrogen and phosphorous.

Brackett Green® CF200® Band Screens

Our efficient Brackett Green® CF200® Band Screens are housed within a durable, freestanding stainless steel framework and are designed for flows of up to 5000 l/sec, sumps as deep as 15m and channel widths of 1.5m and above. They can be used as a completely new screening installation or can be used to optimise an outdated screen system. The Brackett Green® CF200® Band Screens show proven capture rates of 80%, and in some cases 93%, with virtually no wear over extended periods. For details on how the CF200® works as well as further product specifications, please visit our website, or contact us at Ovivo.

J+A Hi-Flow™ Screen

Our high quality J+A Hi-Flow™ Screens are available in four screen sizes. They have a range of apertures and screen lengths to suit individual requirements. They can also be equipped with the impeller screenings washing system as well as an optional opening in the backplate to act as a bypass overflow to complement the side seal overflows. Our screens are washed by liquefying processes and faecal solids are eradicated before being extracted by the screen mechanism. The removal and cleaning process is achieved with a combination of wash water and a rotating nylon bristle brush with either spray-jetting or gravity deluge.

J+A Washpactor-Jet™

The J+A Washpactor-Jet™ is a high quality, stainless steel unit that is used to wash screened solids prior to final compaction through improved raw sewage screening. This process eradicates much of the faecal matter that would otherwise foul the dewatered waste product. Screenings can be delivered to the Washpactor-Jet™ by conventional conveyor systems or by the more efficient washed launder method. Benefits and features include a high capacity mechanical/electrical drive system with ample overload capacity, an internal machine wash system with automatic on/off flow control, and a range of outlet chute arrangements to suit most collection methods and more.

EWT™ Spiral Screen

Our EWT™ Spiral Screens are used for applications such as inlet works for fine screening and industrial process water and wastewater treatment. Its shaftless spiral technology guarantees reliability and reduced maintenance costs even when difficult solids are handled. Our EWT™ Spiral Screens underwent intensive type-testing at the National Screens Evaluation Facility (NSEF) (UK) and achieved the best Screening Capture Rate (SCR) of any spiral type screen. It also achieved the best inclined at either 35 or 45 degrees. Our Spiral Screen baskets range from between 200 and 700mm in diameter, with apertures of between 2 and 10mm. Flow enters the screen through and around the open spiral. The screened solids are retained on the perforated plate screen, where cleaning takes place via the spiral's rotation.

Ovivo Containerised MBR

Our containerised MBR systems serve as temporary or permanent solutions for the treatment of low strength municipal waste or high strength industrial effluent. Our containerised plants are easy to install and once connected to a power supply, the treatment of wastewater can begin. Our containerised solutions can be supplied on different terms such as finance or lease options. For detailed information on our containerised MBR systems, please visit our website for a breakdown of the process, or indeed, call us at Ovivo where we will be happy to discuss options with you.

These flexible units can be installed as temporary solutions or as permanent fixtures and are designed and manufactured to be tough and durable. They are manufactured in either stainless steel or mild steel and coated in high quality polyurethane. Copa® SAF wastewater treatment systems are designed to provide biological treatment for sewage works with a population equivalent of up to 3,000. The system can achieve an effluent quality of 15mg: 25mg: 5mg BOD: SS: NH4.

Rotating Biological Contactors (RBCs)

Our environmentally friendly, rotating biological contactors (RBCs) are designed to the highest of industry standards. They offer a fantastic 20-year design-life and are designed to meet our clients' requirements. For use in domestic sewage and industrial effluent treatment plants, our RBCs are driven by power motors to remove soluble, biodegradable, organic materials from domestic and industrial wastewater. The result is a final effluent that is safe for discharge. We supply RBC Package Plants, Semi-Modular RBCs and Modular RBCs.

Brand & Trade Names
  • Anaerobic - Anaerobic wastewater treatment is the biological treatment of wastewater without the use of air or elemental oxygen. In anaerobic treatment organic pollutants are converted by anaerobic microorganisms to a gaseous product than has the potential for reuse. Effectively in Anaerobic treatment, the COD in wastewater is mostly converted to methane gas and unlike aerobic processes, very little energy is required and very little sludge is produced.
  • Brackett Green - Coarse Screens - Eimco Water Technologies manufactures a wide range of coarse Bar Screens, including the well known brands, Brackett Green, Copa Tomkinson and Jones & Attwood. Coarse Bar Screening provides the initial protection for headworks and water intakes with aperture sizes ranging from 10mm to 200mm. Bars can be fixed or rotating elements to preventing ragging.
  • Copa - CopaSAF, Copa Cyclone, Copa Crosswave Screen, Copacurve, CSO storm screens and process equipment
  • Crossflow Detritor™ System - The Crossflow grit separator is used at the raw sewage inlet and should be positioned downstream of the sewage screens. These screens will have medium to fine spaces. Where two stage screening is applied, the Crossflow Detritor™ system can be installed after the medium spaced screen thus offering protection to the fine screening mechanism from abrasive detritus.
  • Eimco - CSO Screens, Combined Sewer overflow screens, Storm overflow screens. Most combined sewerage networks will incorporate emergency overflow or discharge points along its length, to overcome excessive surcharging of the network. These are commonly referred to as Combined Sewer Overflows or CSO’s. The CSO’s are designed to allow excessive stormwater flows to spill into open/surface water courses. To prevent unsightly debris polluting the receiving water course Eimco Water Technologies has developed a range of CSO screening solutions to suit almost all types of CSO locations and stormwater retention tanks.
  • EWT - Thickeners - Combining the industry's highest quality craftsmanship and materials with experience, EWT designs and builds a variety of thickeners for all water and wastewater applications.
  • EWT™ Clarifiers - The EWT™ Clarifiers are easily adaptable to special designs. In addition to standard optional features, our engineers will design and develop new features necessary to satisfy special application requirements.

They can be used in a variety of industrial applications such as mineral concentrates and tailings, pulp mill wastes, iron and steel mills, and in cement, alumina and chemical plants
  • FlooBed® - Bioreactor is a Suspended Carrier Biofilm Process (SCBP). It is reliable and easy to operate and has been developed especially for industrial effluent treatment. Compared to conventional methods FlooBed® tolerates higher variations in water quality and flow and still maintains its high treatment efficiency. FlooBed® processes are used to significantly increase the capacity of existing activated sludge systems, and FlooBed® is also suitable for covering the total effluent treatment of the factory.
  • HBNR - Hybrid Biological Nutrient Removal - With 600 Installations world wide, the Hybrid BNR Process offers proven economical and reliable treatment of wastewater, particularly where low Nitrogen and Phosphorus limits are required. The process combines the performance benefits of conventional continuous flow processes incorporating anoxic and aerobic reactors, with the simplicity and cost benefits of SBR’s (sequencing batch reactors).
  • Headworks - Preliminary Treatment Technologies - Good preliminary treatment (screening and screening handling of gross solids and grit removal) are as important to the efficient operation of any treatment plants as is the process means selected to treat the wastewater itself. Eimco Water Technologies has an established range of brand products for headworks and inlet works treatment, inclusive of Brackett Green and Jones & Attwood.
  • Jeta .Jeta - Grit removal combined with screening is a prerequisite of wastewater treatment to make the ongoing effluent a manageable and consistent medium entering the next phase of treatment. Ideally, screening or comminution of the main flow will be performed prior to grit removal. In cases where grit is removed from entirely raw sewage, additional washing and classification is necessary before dewatering. The Jeta grit trap is designed to provide the highest grit removal performance possible.
  • Jones & Attwood - Screw Classifier is a packaged, free standing system, for the separation of mineral grit particles from the normal collections of solids and water, discharged by grit removal systems.
  • Jones & Attwood - Grit Washer - The demand for cleaner and biodegradable free waste products is growing with the introduction of increasing legislation from governing bodies. Historically, grit from sewage has always had demands made upon it with respect to an organics content. Good attempts have been made to achieve the best possible separation but, in reality, few operating plants are successful. By developing the new concept to produce a consistently clean grit, other spin-off benefits are realised.
  • MBBR - Eimco Water Technologies has wide experience with different types of biological treatment methods. Within this field our key technology is an advanced, high-loaded biological treatment method called FlooBed®. It is a biological treatment of industrial process or waste waters. The biology consists of micro-organisms both attached to the carriers and suspended in the water. The FlooBed® solution has been the choice for several types of water such as effluent from process industries, landfill leachate and municipal waste waters.
  • MBR Technology - Membrane bioreactor. Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) have been successfully used to treat municipal, commercial and industrial wastewaters for discharge and reuse applications. Today, with thousands of installations operating worldwide, MBR technology is shaping the way we view wastewater treatment and water conservation around the world.
  • Rake Classifiers - The Rake Classifier consists of a reciprocating rake mechanism set in an inclined channel alongside the grit collection basin. The smooth agitation of grit caused by the low speed motion of the rake mechanism provides a perfect environment for the settled grits to liberate putrescible organics, leaving clean grit for discharge and reduced odour problems
  • RBC - Rotating Biological Contactor - A Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) is a process used to remove soluble, biodegradable, organic materials from sewage thereby achieving a high quality effluent. There are three types of plant: (i) Package plant (Integral), (ii) Semi package Systems, (iii) Modular plant
