LODOred is a highly innovative product that improves the purification efficiency of biomass in the wastewater treatment process, which leads a substantial reduction in surplus sludge (up to 40%) and the stabilisation of the biological process. The use of LODOred at a wastewater treatment plant results in an increase in the efficiency of the general treatment process and a reduction in its main environmental impact, which is the production of sludge and its disposal.
LODORED
LODORED IS A HIGHLY INNOVATIVE PRODUCT THAT IMPROVES THE PURIFICATION EFFICIENCY OF BIOMASS IN THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROCESS.
The use of LODOred does not involve any kind of negative environmental impact, since it is comprised of fully biodegradable natural organic and inorganic components which combine vitamins, enzyme stabilisers and additional substances in a strictly defined composition. On the contrary, it has a very positive environmental impact, since it reduces the sludge that has to be managed, the production of which is the main impact of wastewater treatment.
LODOred has been implemented at more than 50 urban and industrial wastewater treatment plants in several European countries since 2005.
Applications
Purification stations – Regeneration stations – Wastewater – Industrial wastewater – Active sludge treatments that do not have an anaerobic sludge digestion phase – Buffer for biological treatments
Design tailored to customer requirements
Advantages
Not dangerous or toxic, fully biodegradable, comprised of ingredients that can be assimilated by the food industry – Reduction in sludge production of up to 40% – Improvement in sedimentation (SVI) – Greater stability in the biological treatment process – Improves the quality of effluents (e.g. BOD5, COD, N, P, suspended solids, etc.) – Very easy to install, only a dosing pump is needed – Enhances the biological system’s resilience against load shocks – Improves sludge dehydration, thus reducing polymer consumption, sludge dehydration time scales and energy consumption – It consequently increases unit lifespans and requires less labour
Lower environmental impact due to a smaller amount of waste from treatment systems
