Carrousel®
The advantage of the Carrousel is its continuous biological
process of BOD/COD removal and simultaneous nitrification
and denitrification in one reactor, with only a limited
amount of equipment required. The oxidation ditch is a
looped channel system, featured by a central dividing wall
and a surface aerator, the Oxyrator®, positioned at one or
both ends of the wall. The Oxyrator® is a low-speed vertical
shaft surface aerator. Its function is three-fold: It adds
oxygen to the treatment process, it thoroughly mixes the
wastewater and the purifying biomass (‘activated sludge’)
and it creates and maintains the flow circulation through
the channels.
Over the past 40 years, the Carrousel® has proven itself
as a cost-effective, reliable and highly efficient method
for the biological treatment of wastewater from both
municipalities and industries.
Over 1,200 systems have already been successfully
implemented world-wide, with treatment capacities
ranging from as little as one thousand population
equivalents (p.e.) to as high as ten million p.e.

Royal HaskoningDHV Industrial water treatment
MBTF
Cost-effective treatment of air, water and air/water
mixtures is possible with the Moving Bed Trickling Filter
(MBTF).The MBTF is a biological filter which can be used for
the combined treatment of wastewater and foul air. The
MBTF offers attractive advantages and good economics
when considering treatment of air or wastewater
independently. The major benefit is realized with the
possibility of treating waste water and air simultaneously
as separate investment for air treatment equipment is
unnecessary.
The MBTF costs can be largely offset against the reduced
waste water charges. The main advantages of the MBTF are
high separation efficiency and high capacity. Furthermore,
the MBTF is ‘continuously self-cleaning’ and has proven to
be relatively insensitive to suspended solids and fats in the
wastewater stream. This often makes the use of coagulants
or flocculants in the pre-treatment unnecessary. It is a
non-clogging, robust and universally applicable system.
The MBTF has a small footprint, is easy to operate and
has low energy consumption. Considerable operation and
investment savings can be achieved.
BABE™
The ‘Bio-Augmentation Batch Enhanced’ technology, is
a compact and simple technology for the treatment of
wastewater, containing (very) high concentrations of
specific chemicals. Many industries, as well as numerous
municipal wastewater treatment plants produce
wastewater with high concentrations of specific chemicals.
In the BABE-process, this wastewater together with a
specific quantity of sludge from the main process pre-
treated (in parallel) in a sequential batch type reactor.
The (pre)treated water and part of the BABE biomass
is returned to the main process after the reaction and
settlement. In the main process the BABE biomass
continues with the removal of the specific chemicals, whilst
improving the performance of th emain process sludge, this
augmentation effect is possible as specific micro-organism
in the normal flock forming biomass of the main process are
enmeshed with the BABE sludge.
The BABE-process can be applied for the treatment of any
slowly biodegradable components. B.A.B.E. technology is
particularly appropriate for existing wastewater treatment
systems that require a greater nitrogen removal capacity.
MBR
Compared to the conventional activated sludge process,
Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) wastewater treatment
technology guarantees superb effluent quality and requires
significantly less space. The biological process of a MBR is
comparable to that of a conventional activated sludge plant.
The MBR combines the activated sludge process with
membrane filtration in one compact reactor.
Separation of sludge and final effluent (permeate)takes
place by means of membranes, by which all suspended
solids are filtered out. The result is reduced sludge
production, and excellent effluent quality which enables
possibilities for water re-use and hence, cost saving.
MBR technology is appropriate for small and large scale
industrial wastewater treatment applications.
Existing active sludge systems can be converted to a MBR
system. Royal HaskoningDHV offers MBR systems with the
new generation of membranes with significantly lower
energy consumption.

Products & technologies
Nautilus™
Optimal flexibility and control of the MBR wastewater
treatment plant with the independent Nautilus™ MBR
concept. Royal HaskoningDHV has world-class know-how
with most commercially available membranes. We have also
gained hands-on experience with the design, engineering,
constructing and operation of MBR installations. This
experience, combined with in-depth knowledge of MBR
processes, resulted in the Nautilus™ concept.
The Nautilus™ concept is an optimized design and control
system. This concept’s most valued feature however, is
that membranes of various suppliers can be interchanged,
offering end-users maximum flexibility. Not only can
the design be tailored to the chosen membranes during
realization, but the end-user has the possibility of replacing
the membranes with other suppliers’ membranes in the
future.

Royal HaskoningDHV Industrial water treatment
ABR®
The Anti Bulking Reactor (ABR)® is a robust solution to
prevent bulking sludge problems within wastewater
treatment plants, whilst effectively reducing oxygen
demand and bio sludge production.
In industrial wastewater treatment plants problems with
bulking sludge are often caused by easily biodegradable
components. Poor settling results in reduced performance
and loss of active biomass.
The ABR® biodegrades the components in a kind of
chemostate with a hydraulic residence time of 4 to 20
hours. Additionally, the ABR® decreases overall oxygen
demand and biosludge production by approximately25%,
whilst providing an effective oxidation of reduced sulphur
compounds.
The ABR® process performs well at high and low
temperatures. Given the compact and simple design,
ABR® is a very cost-effective upgrade for improving the
performance of existing, overloaded, treatment plants or
even as alternative to anaerobic pretreatment.
The ABR® can be applied in industrial wastewater treatment
processes with high C/N ratios and a COD concentration of
more than 1000 mg/l. Also, the combination of the ABR®
with Carrousel® has proven to be a winning solution.
SBR
The Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) technology for aerobic
biological wastewater treatment has good sludge settling
characteristics, resulting in a reliable and excellent effluent
quality. The SBR is a batch operated activated sludge process
where one or more reactors are operated in parallel. The
typical cycle for each reactor consists of four phases, the fill
phase, the reaction phase, the settling phase and the decant
phase. By changing the process settings, aerobic, anaerobic
or anoxic conditions can be created.
The treatment steps are all done in a single tank, where
conventional treatment processes use several Process zones
and recirculation steps, followed by final settling in separate
tanks. SBR technology is characterized by its relatively low
investment and operational costs, coupled with its small
spatial requirements. The high reliability enables optimal
temperature control, without virtually any odor issues. The
advantage of a SBR is the process flexibility to achieve the
specific design and discharge requirements.
Nereda®
Our innovative water purification technology Nereda®
results in lower investment and operational costs and
scores higher in sustainability whilst reducing the plant’s
footprint. Nereda® is a hybrid SBR process with biological
purification capability for industrial and municipal waste
water treatment. This technology uses granular biomass,
with a granule settling speed 10times faster than that
of conventional flocks. The improved settle ability allows
the process to be operated at mixed liquor concentrations
comparable to that of MBR (3-4x that of conventional
processes), while maintaining the high settling velocities.
The aerobic granular sludge removes organic compounds
as well as nutrients like nitrogen and phosphor to a high
extent. Furthermore, given the high biomass concentration,
Nereda® only requires a compact installation with
accordingly low capital investments.
Due to the extremely short settling time it is beneficial to
operate Nereda® as a Sequencing Batch process in a single
reactor, which eliminates the need for separate clarifiers.
By using either a buffer tank or several, parallel Nereda®-
reactors, the wastewater treatment system can be operated
as a continuous process.

Anaerobic treatment
Anaerobic pre-treatment aims to reduce the energy
needs of a treatment process. Because of the formation
of Biogas, anaerobic treatment has specific appeal as
pre-treatment of COD-rich wastewater flows. Biogas
is an energy source which can be used for several
applications, like heat, electricity or green gas (transport
fuel). Royal HaskoningDHV has great in-house expertise
regarding anaerobic treatment, further post treatment
and possibilities for the usage and sales of Biogas. Our
independent knowledge is of great value, particularly
during system selection studies, based on technical and
economical aspects. We also have extensive experience in
the startup and operation of anaerobic treatment plants,
enabling us to design your anaerobic treatment process
with the lowest capital and operational expenditures.

Crystalactor®
The Crystalactor® not only efficiently treats water without
residual waste and is applicable for softening of(process)
water, but also offers the recovery of heavy metals,
phosphates and fluoride from wastewater to a quality with
high market value. The Crystalactor® is a fluidized-bed type
crystallizer for the treatment of water and wastewater. The
heart of the treatment plant is a pellet reactor, partially
filled with a suitable seed material like sand or minerals. The
wastewater is pumped in an upward direction maintaining
the pellet bed in a fluidized state. In order to crystallize
the target component on the pellet bed, a driving force is
created by a reagent dosage and pH-adjustment.
With the appropriate process conditions, co-crystallization
of impurities is minimized and high-purity crystals are
obtained. The pellets grow and move towards the reactor
bottom. After drying, readily handled and virtually water-
free pellets are obtained. No sludge dewatering is needed.
The pellets can then be recycled or reused, resulting in no
residual waste for disposal. Another advantage is that the
four steps of conventional physical-chemical treatment
processes are combined into one, resulting in a very
compact treatment process.

overloaded downstream processes.
Filtration techniques
Filtration is often used as final polishing step to reach the required effluent quality. Filtration is a commonly
applied process in a (waste)water treatment plant. The principles and executions are numerous and are
dependent on the particle size and concentration of the components to be removed. For example for larger
particles, bag filters or sand filters are used and for dissolved ions membrane filtration.

BioWatch
The microbiological composition of the activated sludge is
essential for the performance of a biological wastewater
treatment plant. This composition can be influenced by
carefully adjusting the right parameters. The BioWatch
assesses the quality (and composition) of the sludge
periodically, in order to stabilize and optimize process
conditions. It is also possible to anticipate on process
disturbances.
With microscopic techniques various characteristics of the
sludge (flocs, bacteria, higher organisms) are monitored
and combined with analysis of the operational data,
practical measures for improvements are recommended
or implemented. Incase of acute problems, our experts can
offer immediate support on location.

SludgeScan
The costs for sludge treatment and sludge disposal are
generally about 30 till 50 % of the total operational costs
of a wastewater treatment plant. Royal HaskoningDHV’s
SludgeScan is aimed at reducing these costs. During a
SludgeScan an inventory is made of sludge production,
sludge composition, treatment process, operational
management, options for alternative and cost reducing
disposal and overall costs. Several efficiency and innovation
measures are simulated and the best are selected for
implementation. Experienced technology experts carry out
the SludgeScan in close cooperation with the client.
CODE
Co-digesters plants produce digestate as residual. At this
time digestate is classified as an expensive waste stream.
Without governmental subsidy co-digesters are not
profitable. Royal HaskoningDHV developed a new process
called CODE (Central Processing Sustainable Deliverables). In
this process the digestate is reprocessed. The raw materials
are extracted in order to convert it to useful products like
fertilizers and biopolymers. This means that CODE converts
waste to raw materials. Instead of processing and waste
disposal costs a profitable product is generated. CODE
technology is sustainable and makes biobased economy
initiatives without governmental subsidy profitable.
It provides a solution for the manure problem in the
agricultural sector as well.
Water Footprint Assessment
With the Water Footprint Sustainability Assessment
we aim to support industries, governments and project
developers in their endeavor to more sustainable and
socially responsible production and development. This
tool portrays the water footprint and the impact of water
consumption on the environment. Furthermore this tool
identifies key indicators in the production chain, leading
to more effectives and efficiency and hence to a better
sustainability score in the water compartment. The
WaterFootprint doesn’t stand alone. Footprinting became
an essential element in the measurement of sustainability
achievements. Apart from the Water Footprint, the carbon
-,the social – and the ecological footprint are also vitally
important indicators.
AquaCCP®
To guarantee safe use and reuse of water within the food
industry Royal HaskoningDHV developed AquaCCP®: a
water quality control tool to support. The core of AquaCCP®
is formed by an efficient tailor-made water quality
monitoring system. The monitoring network becomes the
key water component in the companies’ obliged HACCP
system. A successful introduction of AquaCCP® within the
companies’ HACCP system obviously requires chemical
and microbiological water expertise and experience in the
field of food production and HACCP systems. We connect
all these requirements. After the embedding of AquaCCP®
in the HACCP system, information for the companies’
operations and utilities managers will be produced. Directly
based on the produced information interventions in day to
day production becomes possible to ensure safe and reliable
food production.
Energy Potential Scan
Industrial processes are often energy intensive processes,
where water is most of the time also an energy carrier.
Royal HaskoningDHV has up-to-date knowledge of all
possibilities of heat- and energy recovery related to the
water housekeeping and CHP (Combined Heat Power) links,
including associated engineering. The Energy Potential
Scan (EPS) structures the current energy consumption and
the various possibilities in energy savings. The goal of the
inventory is not only a list of measurements. The ultimate
goal is a permanent energy and cost reduction. During the
execution of the EPS, the employees of the participating
company are actually doing the inventory activities
themselves. For this purpose they are working in an Energy
Action Team with assistance of a Royal HaskoningDHV
consultant.

The WaterScan optimizes water management processes to
achieve water and cost savings. It is the first step to gain
insight in the possibilities for water reclamation and reuse
or even more to close the water cycle completely. To a total
water loop closure the WaterScan is an approach whereby a
scan is made of the current water consumption, identifying
optimal ways to save water and the organizational
measures necessary to achieve a consistent reduction in
water consumption (and costs). Also relevant innovative
measures for water reclamation, reuse and recycling are
explored. The WaterScan results are presented in a clear and
prioritized overview of practically feasible cost reductions
and optimizations fully tailored to the client’s specific
situation and has proven itself in various industries. When
applicable also a complete ‘pinch study’ can be done.
