A Smarter Way to Intensify Biological Treatment
Cyclor Turbo intensifies biological nutrient removal by converting the sludge microbiome into a densified, partially granulated bio-mass consortium that settles up to 4 times faster than conventional activated sludge (CAS).
This enables a footprint reduction of up to 50% compared with CAS systems. The fixed water level design lowers head loss compared to conventional SBRs and CAS.
Cyclor Turbo’s process includes feeding from the bottom under the settled sludge blanket, an aerobic reaction promoting nitrification, denitrification, and phosphate consumption, followed by a settling phase where air is off to enhance denitrification and rapid sludge settlement. This approach selects for phosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs), supporting effective Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) without chemical reagents.
The reactor’s partial granulation captures more suspended solids in the sludge blanket than full granulation, leading to consistently low TSS effluent (<15 mg/L) and strong nutrient removal while reducing reagent consumption like metallic salts and lowering sludge production.
Cyclor Turbo is designed to fit well into greenfield projects or retrofit existing SBR or CAS plants, with its shallow basin (typically 1.5–4.5 m deep) enabling easier integration and smaller civil works. The technology is proven globally through demonstration and full-scale installations, delivering reliable nutrient removal with reduced footprint and operating expenses.
