PEGASUS

PEGASUS^*1 is an advanced sewage treatment process that promotes nitrification and uses inclusive immobilization supports.

Our Key Technology

Microorganisms entrapment

Microorganism entrapment by PEG
Hitachi has already used the gel entrapment technique in many installation.

• Reaction is faster (Tank is smaller)
• Performance is stable

Overview

The biological reaction tank is partitioned into an anaerobic tank and an aerobic tank, and nitrifying pellets containing highly concentrated, immobilized microorganisms are added. This nitrogen treatment process promotes nitrifying reactions. This process can also be combined with physiochemical phosphorus removal methods such as biological phosphorus removal or adding coagulants to remove phosphorus.

Features

1. Simultaneous BOD/nitrogen treatment is possible with a residence period of 6-8 hours.
2. Nitrogen removal efficiency is stable even at low temperatures.
3. Nitrogen removal efficiency is stable even when combined with simultaneous coagulation methods.
