AVANTE TEXTIL CHOOSES WATERNEXT: MORE CAPACITY, LESS SPACE, AND A PLANT DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH THE NEW NOM-001<\/mark><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

THE NEED<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Avante Textil<\/a> needed to increase the treatment capacity of its wastewater treatment plant by 30%<\/strong>, reaching a flow rate of 1.700 m\u00b3\/day<\/strong>, without having sufficient space for a conventional expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge was therefore to increase the flow rate, maintain the stability of the biological process, and ensure a final COD value of \u2264 150 mg\/L<\/strong>, while limiting new civil works, implementation time, and capital expenditure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avante Textil needed a compact technology that could be integrated into the existing plant and increase treatment capacity without radically changing the current layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE SOLUTION<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

WaterNext Group designed a solution based on MBBR – Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor<\/strong> – technology, installed as a biological pre-oxidation stage<\/strong> upstream of the existing oxidation tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MBBR system uses mobile carriers on which a high-concentration bacterial biofilm develops, increasing the available active biomass and improving the removal of organic matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Avante Textil project, WaterNext integrated unit into the existing treatment line, which includes screening, lifting, equalization, oxidation, sedimentation, sludge recirculation and extraction, with pH and dissolved oxygen control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This configuration increased the plant\u2019s biological treatment capacity, reduced the load on the existing oxidation section, and maximized the use of the structures already in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE GOAL<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The project increased the plant\u2019s treatment capacity to 1.700 m\u00b3\/day<\/strong>, achieving a 30%<\/strong> increase in flow rate within the smallest possible footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expected final quality of the treated water is COD \u2264 150 mg\/L,<\/strong> with a process designed to meet the requirements of NOM-001<\/strong>, Mexico\u2019s new and more stringent wastewater discharge regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WaterNext\u2019s MBBR solution enabled Avante Textil to increase treatment capacity, minimize civil works, and improve the stability of the biological process, demonstrating the effectiveness of MBBR technology in industrial revamping projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
