UltraCell™ revolutionizes biological wastewater treatment by seamlessly integrating MBBR and ultrafiltration processes, eliminating the need for a secondary clarifier or DAF to remove the majority of Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Traditionally, biological treatment systems are followed by secondary solids separation and tertiary filtration steps to achieve water suitable for reuse.
Headworks has developed the innovative UltraCell™ product through extensive pilot studies. It harnesses the efficiency of its MBBR wastewater process combined with ceramic membrane ultrafiltration.
With significantly lower TSS levels in the MBBR process than membrane bioreactors (MBR), the UltraCell™ process demands minimal power and cleaning chemicals. The membrane flux rate is also quadrupled, extending the membrane lifespan fourfold. Despite delivering comparable performance, the UltraCell™ process boasts substantially reduced capital and operating costs compared to MBBR, while the footprint of both processes remains approximately the same.
