IWOX Clear
Viltra’s IWOX Clear is a 3-stage sewage treatment plant in a three-tank configuration that uses a biological process to effectively treat sewage. Containing a de-nitrification chamber which enhances BOD and nitrogen removal, it is a highly efficient, reliable and cost-effective way to dispose of domestic sewage where there is no access to a main sewer. The IWOX Clear sewage treatment plant is tested and certified to European standards with a certified average effluent quality of 3/4 BOD/SS, with removal efficiencies up to 99.8%.

How it works
The IWOX Clear sewage treatment plant is based on the activated sludge principle.
Pre-settlement tank
The wastewater influent flows straight into the settlement tank. Larger and heavier pieces of waste in the flow will sink to the bottom of the compartment. Once a year, the presence of these materials has to be checked (sludge judge test). If the water flow from the pre-settlement tank to the oxidation compartment is blocked, these materials have to be removed from the tank.
Denitrification and Nitrification tank
In the Nitrification compartment, purification of waste particles in the wastewater is carried out by bacteria in the activated sludge. Here, COD and BOD are removed, ammonia (NH4) is transformed into nitrate (NO3). Due to the denitrification, the SS in the effluent is also lowered.
Biozone (BZ)
In the oxidation compartment, the purification of waste particles in the wastewater is carried out by bacteria in the activated sludge. Here, Chemical Oxidation Demand pollutants (COD) and Biological Oxidation Demand pollutants (BOD) are removed, and ammonia (NH4) is transformed into nitrate (NO3). The oxidation compartment also features a tube diffuser which provides the water with continuous airflow. The desired oxygen concentration (minimum of 1.5 mg O2/l) can be created with the adjustment of a valve.
Clarifier
A two-stage clarifier has been developed so that the water and suspended solids are separated with maximum efficiency. In the clarifier tank, the activated sludge formed settles on the bottom and is returned to the aerobic compartment, where pollutants are removed more efficiently. The circulation is performed by an airlift pump, increasing the system power efficiency. Once the pollution is removed, the treated water (effluent) is discharged in the outer clarifier to increase the solid removal efficiency, and the treated wastewater is discharged into the environment via outlet pipe.
