First wave 1900-1980
• First priority: health
• Treatment of municipal
and industrial effluents
• Focus on effluent quality
(BOD, SS, N, P)
• Primary treatment,
secondary treatment,
tertiary treatment
• 1960 - 1970

Anaerobic methanogenic biomass
• Low growth rate
• Production of reusable methane
(green energy)
• Low sludge production (& biomass
is asset rather than waste)
• Granular biomass

Major Challenges of today
• Reduce carbon footprint
(global warming, depletion fossil fuels)
• Reduce water footprint (water scarcity)
• Reclaim resources

WindPAQ
First granular sludge application
Full scale UASB reactor: SK Roermond Papier
Installed in 1983
11
BIOPAQ® IC
1. Industrial wastewater enters
reactor and is mixed with
granular anaerobic biomass
2. Organic components converted
into methane (biogas)
3. Biogas collected in lower phase
separator, generating as gaslift
4. Water is forced upwards in riser
5. Gas leaves reactor in liquid/gas
separator
6. Water returns through downer
into distribution system
7. Effluent is polished in second,
upper compartment
8. Biogas from second compartment
is collected
9. Effluent exits the reactor

MAP (struvite) from PHOSPAQTM Process
• Phosphate recovery by struvite
crystallization
Mg2+ + NH4+ + PO43- →
MgNH4PO4. 6 H2O
• Complies to EU fertilizer
requirements
• Slow release fertilizer
• Two PhospaqTM plants produce
1000 tpy struvite that is used
in agriculture in Germany
