Technical Session

Chris Parisher from Kruger will be presenting an overview of the ACTIFLO® system.  It is a process that can be applied to primary and tertiary wastewater treatment where either better performance or cost reduction is desired. It is also suited for storm water treatment including CSO, SSO or other overflows due to its high performance, small footprint, and extremely short start-up time.  The process consistently displays efficient removals of TSS, BOD, Total P, COD, metals, fecal coliform, and other typical wastewater contaminants, which can be removed by physical-chemical processes.
