UniSystem Package Wastewater Treatment Plant

For more than 30 years, the Unisystem has proved as reliable and trustworthy solution as Newterra’s more famous surface mounted aeration solutions. Utilizing a modification of the activated sludge process, the “UniSystem” can be designed as an extended aeration or a high-rate treatment plant. The system is designed to maintain sufficient oxygen, mixing, and detention time to allow microorganisms to oxidize treatable wastes for removal of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), ammonia, and other wastewater constituents.

Product Overview

The standard UniSystem package plant is a rectangular tank consisting of an aeration chamber, hopper bottom clarifier, sludge holding tank, and chlorine disinfection chamber. Newterra can supply painted carbon steel tankage or all the internals and ancillary equipment for installation in concrete tanks. Treatment modules can be easily added to the design of the UniSystem depending on influent characteristics and effluent requirements. Treatment module options include a comminutor, flow equalization, denitrification equipment, filters, a membrane bioreactor, UV disinfection, post aeration, and phosphorus removal equipment.

The prefabricated UniSystem is designed for ease of installation for customers located remote from municipal treatment facilities or for customers requiring pretreatment prior to discharge to a municipal sewer system. The standard UniSystem is designed to treat single unit flow rates between 5,000 gallons per day (gpd) and 100,000 gpd. Multiple units can be installed to operate in parallel to accommodate higher ow rates and customized circular UniSystem designs can be engineered for flow rates up to 500,000 gpd.
