The GUNT SBR Process Unit demonstrates the biological, aerobic wastewater treatment by sequential batch operation in a single reactor, differing from continuous activated sludge processes.
Product Features
- Single reactor with batch process steps including aeration and mixing phases
- Compressor for aeration and stirring machine to ensure thorough mixing, even during denitrification phases
- Treated clear water extracted by floating device and collected in tank
- Device for metering external carbon source (e.g. sugar solution) above reactor
- Timers for individually setting aeration (nitrification) and mixing (denitrification) phases
- Continuous measurement of oxygen concentration, pH value, and temperature
- Digital process controller with touch screen for displaying measurements and controlling oxygen concentration during aeration
- Requires activated sludge (e.g. from wastewater treatment plant) and optionally table sugar as carbon source
- Recommended parameters for analysis: total organic matter, BOD5 or COD or TOC, ammonium (NH4-N), nitrite (NO2-N), nitrate (NO3-N)
Benefits
- Provides insight into batch-wise aerobic wastewater treatment using the SBR process
- Enables precise control of aeration and mixing phases for optimized biological treatment
- Allows detailed monitoring of key water quality parameters
- Ideal for teaching advanced wastewater treatment concepts and process control
