AQUAMAX ® small sewage treatment plants according to the proven SBR processes

Our AQUAMAX ®  SBR sewage treatment plants are among the most sold systems in Germany and Europe. Thanks to the proven SBR process, our small sewage treatment plants are particularly suitable for high load fluctuations. All components are installed on a frame and are easy to maintain. Of course the AQUAMAX ® sewage treatment plants also have all necessary approvals according to DIN-EN 12566-3 and DiBt.

By the way: Our AQUAMAX ® BASIC works with one pump less 
 

This will save you a lot of money in case of later repairs and your small sewage treatment plant will work very economically in the long run. Due to the patented ball technology, the AQUAMAX ® BASIC requires one pump less than conventional SBR systems. This means: less electrical connections, less risk of failure, more safety. The principle: When one pump starts, water enters the feed pipe via a robust special valve. Depending on the pumping time, this alternates between filling / sludge discharge and discharge pumping.
Short pumping: Initiates the filling phase of the SBR tank. Long pumping: The special ball closes the feeding or filling pipe tightly after a few seconds; the water now reaches the clear water drain. In this way, a large, heavy pump - i.e. an electrical unit - is completely replaced by a small ball.

Of course, the AQUAMAX ® is also patented: EU patent: 04 010 152.9

The principle of an AQUAMAX ® small wastewater treatment plant is as simple as it is efficient: The wastewater flows from your house connection directly into the tank in your garden instead of - as usual - into the municipal sewer system. In this tank, the wastewater is now cleaned fully biologically, i.e. without the addition of chemical substances - by the way, far better than the legal requirements require. Once the clarification process has been completed, the treated wastewater is discharged into the nature.
Of course, the entire process is fully automatic - you don't have to worry about anything. Even if you subsequently want to treat your wastewater for reuse, e.g. garden irrigation, the optional UV disinfection module AQUAMAX ® BLUE (available for CLASSIC and BASIC) performs this task practically fully automatically.

Conclusion: With the AQUAMAX ® an ideal wastewater treatment is very easy to realize!

Top-cleaning performance

No matter whether multi-chamber tanks or multi-tank plants, whether made of concrete or plastic, whether for new construction or retrofitting: The AQUAMAX ® is the ideal small sewage treatment plant for every area of application - effective, innovative and sustainable. Up to 99% cleaning performance in only 8 hours!

The AQUAMAX ® cleans incoming wastewater in 3 cycles daily, each lasting 8 hours. - First the waste water enters the primary treatment, then the 4-phase cycle follows.

1. Feeding phase
The water collected in the pre-treatment is fed into the treatment tank.

2. Treatment phase
During the 6-hour treatment phase, the wastewater is purified. Mixing, aeration and pause times alternate here.

3. Settlement phase
During the settlement phase, activated sludge settles at the bottom.

4. Clear water discharge phase
In the discharge phase, the clear water is pumped out of the system.

AQUAMAX ® BASIC - details and advantages

Frame made of recyclable plastic - robust, easy to maintain and very light. On this frame we give 10 years warranty!

With a patented flushing jet, the pump and pipe system are cleaned of residual sludge before the pumping process. This protects the environment and the existing percolation.

German Patent: DE 100 57 378

Thanks to a special valve newly developed by ATB, the submersible pump fulfils three tasks:

  • Feeding process of the SBR chamber according to the suction principle (German Patent: DE 199 07 980)
  • Sludge recirculation
  • Clearwater discharge

Submerged aerator for fine-bubble aeration and gentle agitation in the treatment tank - specially developed for use in small sewage treatment plants.

Due to the patented ball technology, the AQUAMAX ® BASIC requires one pump or one magnet valve less than conventional SBR systems. This means: less electrical connections, less risk of failure, more safety.

The principle: When a pump starts, water enters the feed pipe via a robust special valve. Depending on the pump duration, this alternates between filling / sludge discharge and pumping.

Short pumping: Initiates the filling phase of the SBR tank. Long pumping: The special ball closes the charging or filling pipe tightly after a few seconds; the water now reaches the clear water drain.

In this way, a large, heavy pump - i.e. an electrical unit - is completely replaced by a small ball.
