Fully Biological Wastewater Treatment: The Fluidized Bed Process Advantage
AQUATO® 3K-FLOW
At AQUATO®, we introduce the 3K-FLOW: a pioneering small WWTP that delivers excellent purification performance using the advanced fluidized bed process. It is specifically designed for environments with strong inflow fluctuations and permanent low-load operation. The 3K-FLOW is energy-efficient, high-performing, and contains no mechanical equipment inside the tank. The system is resistant to aging from domestic wastewater and ensures maximum operational reliability. Ideal for new construction or retrofitting existing three-chamber systems.

How Does the Fluidized Bed Process Work?
The Fluidized Bed Process (WBBR) is a biological wastewater treatment method that utilizes freely moving plastic carriers. Microorganisms (biofilm) settle on these carrier media to purify the wastewater. The carriers are kept in constant motion by aeration, ensuring maximum purification performance.
This process is characterized by its high treatment efficiency, compact design, and the ability to maintain stable operating conditions even with fluctuating loads.
Sampling takes place during the final clarification phase.
Pre-Clarification: Coarse solids and settleable components are removed to relieve the biological process and ensure uniform feed.
Biological Treatment (Fluidized Bed): Movable plastic carriers float in the water, providing surface area for a stable biofilm that degrades pollutants. Continuous aeration and movement create a highly efficient purification process.
Final Clarification: Treated wastewater is separated from the carrier materials and suspended solids. The clear water is then discharged, while settled solids are returned.

FAQs
You have questions? We have answers!
What is special about the fluidized bed process of the AQUATO® 3K-FLOW?
The Fluidized Bed Process utilizes special carrier media where cleansing microorganisms settle to form a stable biofilm. This ensures excellent purification performance, even when facing strong inflow fluctuations and sustained low-load operation.
Are there electrical components installed in the water with the AQUATO® 3K-FLOW?
No, the AQUATO® 3K-FLOW system operates without any energized or mechanically stressed components inside the tank or wastewater area. This maximizes operational reliability and simplifies maintenance.
Can the AQUATO® 3K-FLOW be integrated into existing tanks?
Yes, the 3K-FLOW is perfectly suited for retrofitting. It can be installed in existing concrete tanks that comply with DIN 4261 and feature a three-chamber layout. Custom adaptation to accommodate older tank sizes is also possible.
