OXTEC PLUS
Viltra’s OXTEC PLUS is a 3-stage sewage treatment system in a single tank structure that uses a biological process to effectively treat sewage. It provides a very efficient, reliable and cost-effective solution to sewage disposal for larger applications within sectors such as commercial and industrial, education, conservation and tourism and hospitality, where there is no access to a main sewer.

How it works
Viltra's OXTEC PLUS is a 3-stage biological process sewage treatment system contained within a single tank structure
Primary Settlement Tank (PST)
The primary settlement tank (PST) is a two-stage tank designed to maximise the removal of gross and suspended solids. The PST also incorporates for a sludge storage volume depending on de-sludge periods.
Biozone (BZ)
The biological treatment phase incorporates two proven principles of biological process in the form of a fixed film reactor and a suspended floc dispersed growth system for high transfer rates and operational control, achieving a stable treatment process unaffected by shock loads.
The heart of the process is a submerged, high rate, plastic media on which a fixed film of biomass is grown. The film consumes incoming settled effluent and oxygen, which is provided by a small blower. The media is aerated through HDPE membrane diffusers that provide fine bubble aeration.
The fine bubble aeration is carefully controlled, providing optimum oxygen transfer rates and scouring to slough off excess biomass, while keeping the thickness of the fixed biological film at optimum levels.
The fact that the media remains submerged means that there will be biomass which is “unfixed” to the media but this is treated through suspended aeration.
Final Settlement Tank (FST)
The final settlement tank is designed to provide maximum settlement of any suspended solids prior to discharge. The system incorporates continuous sludge return airlift to return sludge from both the final settlement tank back to the primary settlement tank.
This system also provides for continuous recycling of treated effluent back to the PST to not only provide dilution of incoming settled effluent, but also to ensure continuous flow during periods of low or no flow, thereby keeping the biomass in prime condition.
