Semi-centralized Wastewater Treatment and Reuse

Semi-centralized treatment wastewater treatment and effluent reuse is the ideal solution for clusters of houses, villages, housing developments, suburbs, office complexes, hotels or resorts.

Semi-centralized treatment is typically less expensive than the construction of sewers to central treatment plants.

Reuse of the effluent for irrigation or as service water, e.g. for toilet flushing or laundry and car washing, saves fresh water and wastewater fees. Saving water is necessary where fresh water is scarce.

Our compact ClearNear treatment plants include a fine screen and a membrane bio-reactor for biological treatment and ultra-filtration. A UV-reactor can be added where complete inactivation of viruses is required for safety reasons.

The effluent is clear, all solids and bacteria are retained in the membrane bio-reactor (MBR). Nutrients in the effluent add value where it is used for irrigation. However, if required, e.g. where the effluent is reused for ground infiltration and groundwater replenishing, we also remove nutrients.

Screenings from ClearNear plants consist mainly of paper and plastic. The screenings are washed, dewatered, compacted, bagged and then disposed of as solid waste.

Bio-solids are reused for soil improvement in gardens, parks or on farmland.
