Entex Technologies Offers Webitat Module Treatment System
Send Via E-MailCHAPEL HILL, NC - March 17, 2011 - WastewaterPR.com - Webitat is a module configuration containing fixed film BioWeb media and having integral aeration for mixing control and oxygen transfer. The media contain hundreds of thousands of small polyester filament loops in a ropelike hexagonal matrix on a stainless steel frame. The surface of the loops becomes the site where bacteria grow, thrive and multiply as they consume the organics in the wastewater for their food supply.

With government officials and prominent economists warning that growing state and municipal debt is the next financial time bomb waiting to explode, local governments are scrambling to find ways to reduce the impact of huge budget deficits and revenue shortfalls for 2011 and beyond.
But officials who are faced with expanding a county wastewater treatment facility or build a new plant know that a major cost underlying any such project is the physical tankage required for a modern, efficient biological treatment system.
WebitatTM reduces both the amount of land and the tankage needed for a new wastewater treatment system, thereby also significantly reducing costs.
Webitat is a module configuration containing fixed film BioWebTM media and having integral aeration for mixing control and oxygen transfer. The media contain hundreds of thousands of small polyester filament loops in a ropelike hexagonal matrix on a stainless steel frame. The surface of the loops becomes the site where bacteria grow, thrive and multiply as they consume the organics in the wastewater for their food supply.
And whereas most submerged fixed film products are moving media that mix and move with the wastewater, the Webitat module with BioWeb media is fixed in place and does not require screens at the effluent of the basin to hold in the media.
By submerging Webitat modules into the biological reactors of wastewater treatment systems, the existing tankage can carry increased biomass and thus treat more wastewater and meet more stringent effluent limits.
Waste products are converted to water, CO2 and more cell mass without the need for larger tankage.
The Webitat module also is compatible with high efficiency fine bubble diffusers as opposed to moving media, which require higher intensity mixing and less energy efficient coarse bubble diffuser grids.
In addition, Webitat’s integral aeration allows for biomass thickness control, nuisance organism control, and assures high volume transport of wastewater through the module.
Moreover, the Webitat system features stable operation and produces less waste sludge than conventional suspended growth plants – all of which add up to lower costs and more rapid upgrades of existing wastewater treatment plants and the construction of new facilities.
