Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Removal
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) removal is critical to wastewater treatment. The LemTec™ biological treatment process optimizes BOD removal to meet limits previously thought unattainable in aerated lagoon facilities. The LemTec™ system design minimizes temperature fluctuations and prevents the adverse treatment effects of peak flow events. The system’s low horsepower is efficient in both aeration and mixing, and requires a smaller footprint for typical detention times of 12 days or less.
BOD removal to levels below 30 mg/l is accomplished in the complete mix and partial mix cells of the LemTec™ biological treatment process, with final polishing to below 10 mg/l in the tertiary treatment step of the Lemna Polishing Reactor (LPR). Each facility is custom designed and effluent results are guaranteed to the meet NPDES permit requirements.
