•AnoxKaldnes is a global provider of leading-edge biological processes for wastewater treatment.
•The head-office is in Sweden. There are technical centers in Norway, USA, Australia and Spain.
•AnoxKaldnes approach to wastewater treatment is always based on a deep knowledge in microbiology and process technology.
•There is a very active R&D within AnoxKaldnes with the intentionto stay in the very frontline of developing new more efficient and cost effective biological processes.
•The knowledge and experience within the group is used to find the best solution for the customers together with the customer in each individual case.
“The most difficult task with wastewater treatment systems is not solving the problem but defining it”
Technical Centers: Sweden, Norway, USA, Spain, Australia, China

• 1985 Prof. Ødegaard started research on Kaldnes Moving Bed (TM) Process
• 1989 First MBBR was sold in Norway – still operating with same media
• 1996 First MBBR was sold in United States – paper mill in Ohio
• 1996 Research begins on IFAS concept using plastic media
• 2002 Kaldnes wins Stockholm Industry Water Award
• Continued Research into MBBR, BAS & IFAS biological processes and new media types
• Greater then 500 industrial / municipal system in operation with multiple plants under design using AnoxKaldnes MBBR, BAS & IFAS concepts
History
Moving Bed™ Biofilm Technology(MBBR ™)
• The process is based on the biofilm principle. The core of the process is the biofilm carrier elements made from polyethylene with a density close to that of water.
§ The reactors are filled with carrier elements up to maximum 67% of the reactor volume.
§ The biofilm carrier elements are being kept suspended and in continuous movement in the water by aeration.
• The carriers are designed to provide a largeprotected surface for the micro-organisms and a good mass transfer.
Operation of the MBBR & HYBAS Process
Aerobic reactor
Anoxic reactor
1) Aeration for oxygen & mixing in BOD & nitrification
2) Slow speed mixers for mixing in post-denitrification applications
3) Screens used to retain media in each reactor
4) Multiple reactors used to specialize bacteria for each application

COD
Operation of the BASTM Process
1) Aeration for oxygen & mixing in MBBR Pre-Treatment Reactor
2) MBBR operated as Flow-Through Process (No RAS)
3) Activated Sludge system operated with Reactor + Clarifier
4) Overall combination of two processes produces less sludge then either one by themselves.
Example of improving sludge quality through upgrade with MBBR pretreatment
Upgrade of existing activated sludge plants
Conventional System, SVI 200 ml/g
Biofilm pretreatment
installed
Upgraded System, SVI 40 ml/g
IFAS upgrade for N removal
Principle:•BOD-removal and denitrification takes place in suspended phase (MLSS)•Nitrification performed by nitrifying bacteria attached to a carrier media. Two microbial systems in the same process. •No or little need for additional tankage•Dramatically decreased risk of filamentous problems, better sludge•Clarification hydraulic limited•Nitrification remains in case of activated sludge wash-out•Nitrifiers protected from incoming toxic ”spills”•Lower temperature dependence
MBBR-IFAS upgrade for N removal (HYBAS)
Much larger biofilm surface area exposed to wastewater after biofilm established
With the right type of media - no risk of red worms
