Consulting on NitriStar Biofilm System?

We review your requirements and advise you on the right system design.

Overview

The FUCHS NitriStar System enables the simple and economical retrofitting of existing lagoons with additional growth surface area and oxygen for nitrification.

The system consists of two components:

  • FUCHS OxyStar® aerator

  • Multiple FUCHS NitriStar modules

A NitriStar module consists of:

  • Ground anchoring

  • Flexible surface for nitrifying bacteria

  • Device for installation and subsequent removal

The aim of the process is the biological conversion of ammonium to nitrate (nitrification). The FUCHS OxyStar® aerator supplies the wastewater with the oxygen required for this purpose and conveys the water-air mixture to the FUCHS NitriStar modules.

The FUCHS NitriStar modules provide a large growth surface area that the nitrifying bacteria colonise. Excess biomass detaches on its own and can settle without clogging the modules. Thanks to the vertical and horizontal flow through the modules, they are also largely independent of lagoon depth.

Benefits

Retrofitting and rehabilitation

For retrofitting and rehabilitating existing systems in cases of overload or increased requirements.

Ideal combinations

Ideal in combination with aerated and unaerated lagoons.

Custom-tailored

Flexible system based on modular design, allowing individual adaptation to lagoon depth and treatment performance.

Efficient and robust aeration technology

High aeration efficiency independent of water depth, along with robust, long-proven technology for reliable operation.

Good flow characteristics

NitriStar modules can be operated with vertical and horizontal flow.

Easy to maintain and high-performing

Simple maintenance through removable modules and a large colonisation surface for nitrifying bacteria.
