Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Removal

The consistent removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) has typically been a challenge in traditional lagoon wastewater treatment facilities. The LemTec biological treatment process provides a solution with the introduction of a LemTec modular cover into the treatment process. Installing a LemTec modular cover over the settling cell of the process creates, in essence, a clarifier without the moving parts. The innovative cover prevents algae growth as it shields the water from the sun. Additionally, the cover prevents wind action on the water surface, creating a quiescent zone for solids to settle. The insulating cover minimizes temperature fluctuations, thereby reducing the undesirable mixing caused by thermal currents. The resulting anaerobic environment digests biosolids significantly over time, reducing the need for sludge disposal to once every five to seven years.

All LemTec bological treatment process designs are backed by a process warranty that clients can count on. It guarantees system performance and effluent that reliably meets NPDES permit levels.
