Product description
SHHR Ventures plans to import two treatment systems for wastewater: the HP3RC225-3U2 for continuous treatment, and the HP6TA090-3U for batch treatment. Both systems include sedimentation, aeration, disinfection and effluent chambers, screens, defoamers, and blowers that supply air to the microorganisms which consume organic materials, such as food, in the wastewater. The batch system is housed in one large tank, whereas the continuous one utilizes two tanks and a sedimentation chamber, all interconnected. The continuous system has a greater daily cubic capacity than the batch one.
