ATB Water English: AQUAMAX ® small wastewater treatment plant

AQUAMAX® - One of Germany's best-selling SBR wastewater treatment plant

Our AQUAMAX^®SBR sewage treatment plants are among the most sold systems in Germany and Europe. In total, more than 115,00 systems are in use worldwide! 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.

The AQUAMAX® advantages

Future-proof

Always up to date due to the AQUAMAX^® modular system.

First-class effluent values

Required effluent values are clearly met!

Durable

Special architecture makes AQUAMAX^® BASIC particularly durable.

Certified

General approval by the building authorities and safety tested by TÜV.

The AQUAMAX® principle

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!

How AQUAMAX® works

1 Automatic control

2 Inflow
Untreated wastewater flows into the plant.

3 Pre-treatment
Here the wastewater is mechanically pre-treated and particles settle down.

4 Feeding unit

5 SBR treatment chamber
Here the biological treatment process takes place using activated sludge.

6 Support frame

7 Submersible pump

8 Submersible aerator

9 Control connection cable

10 Outlet
Purified wastewater flows out of the system.

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

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.

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

AQUAMAX® CLASSIC

The flexible system solution for up to 50 PE* or 7.5 m3 waste water per day!

AQUAMAX® modular system

The ATB Modular system - Perfectly adapted and individual!

We have the right puzzle piece for your demands

Do you still have too much hose or a few compressors in stock? Never mind! Just compose the right sewage treatment plant for you. Also without hose or with a special compressor of your choice.

We have arranged a PUROO ^® modular system with which you can create both, the PUROO ^® M for partition wall installation, as also the PUROO^® Z for fixing in empty tanks, all from 1-16 PE individually designed for our application. Or also both versions as PUROO^® Complete with an aerated primary tank.

Furthermore, there is an even more comprehensive AQUAMAX^® modular system available from 1-75 PE, with the possibility of arranging the CLASSIC-, as well as the PRO G version with pressure aeration. In the PUROO^® and the AQUAMAX^® modular system, more than 1,000 different combinations of all components are available to you. Simply choose the right core system package for your application and add the necessary control, the corresponding aeration components and the additional accessories. All core packages are marked with a serial number as usual.

AQUAMAX® & PUROO® modular system PLUS+

Individual extension options for your wastewater treatment plant

Combine existing or new wastewater treatment systems PUROO^® from 1-16 p.e. or AQUAMAX® from 1-75 p.e. with hygienization, phosphate precipitation and/or remote data transmission and treat your wastewater to the maximum purification level. With our PLUS+ modular system almost all combinations of extended wastewater treatment are possible.

By post-treatment of the effluent water with UV light, residual bacteria and germs in the treated wastewater will almost completely be killed.

With support of chemical or electrolytic precipitation, the phosphate contained in the wastewater can be reduced to a minimum and even limit values of P_ges < 1 mg/l can be complied.

An uncomplicated possibility for the control of the sewage treatment plant operations as well as to avoid deficits – especially on self-monitoring by the operator – is the use of remote data transmission.

Expand functionality, increase comfort, protect the environment even more!

UV-hygienization (+H)

By treating the discharged water with UV light, any remaining bacteria and germs in the treated wastewater are almost completely destroyed, allowing it to be reused, e.g. for watering the garden.

Phosphate precipitation (+P)

With the help of chemical or electrolytic precipitation, the phosphate contained in the wastewater can be reduced to a minimum and even limit values of Pges < 1 mg/l can be adhered to.
