Ballasted Clarification – CoMag for Enhanced Primary or Tertiary
Evoqua – CoMag is a high rate clarification process utilizing internal recycling of settled solids and small amount of Magnetite (non-abrasive, high specific gravity) for floc formation to allow for less chemical use and footprints up to 20x smaller than conventional clarification. The CoMag System easily integrates with planned or existing facilities to allow the use of existing clarifiers of any size or type. Applications included treating wet weather flows, phosphorus removal and water re-use.
KEY BENEFITS
- Superior contaminant removal – Efficiently reduces total suspended solids (TSS), total phosphorus (TP), turbidity, color, pathogens, and metals far below conventional treatment, without the need for filters
- Low costs – High-rate, ballasted clarification allows for smaller reaction and solids separation tanks, minimal power consumption and moderate chemical use
- Easy incorporation – CoMag is easy to incorporate into existing tankage
- Lower OPEX – Continuously recovers and reuses up to 99+% of the injected magnetite, offering a sustainable process for lower OPEX
- Process stability – Stability under shock loads – does not choke or plug; rapid startup and quick process optimization
- Ultraviolet enabling – The high transmissivity of the CoMag System effluent reduces energy and operating costs of final purification
- User friendly – Fully automated, requires minimum operator attention, easy to operate, core equipment has been used by industry for decades
- Plug and play – Package plug and play offering for up to 300,000 gpd
