Success Stories: ECOfluid wins Technology Leadership Award 07/27/2006
Frost - Sullivan Acknowledges ECOfluid€™s Unique Technology and Service Strategies in Packaged Wastewater Treatment
Palo Alto, Calif. €” July 27, 2006 €” Frost - Sullivan selected ECOfluid Systems, Inc. as the recipient of the 2006 Frost - Sullivan Award for Technology Leadership in recognition of its USBFâ„¢, an exceptional advanced biological wastewater treatment technology.
ECOfluid€™s distinctive technology and inventive service strategies have enabled it to increase market share in the competitive packaged wastewater treatment market in the United States and Canada.
The company€™s advanced plants based on the USBFâ„¢ process address the constant demand to produce high quality effluents. This single-sludge denitrification process incorporates all the processes required for biological treatment in a single reactor and circulation loop, using very little energy and no chemicals.
While conventional processes such as SBR and extended aeration rely on the slow and inefficient sedimentation process, ECOfluid's USBFâ„¢ technology utilizes a fluidized bed or 'counter current' movement. This is a dynamic method that continually removes pollutants.
In this process, the sewage that enters an anoxic compartment is drawn by gravity into an aeration compartment, and then to the bottom of the upflow sludge blanket filtration clarifier, from where it overflows. The remainder is then recycled from the bottom using airlift pumps, which require no power due to the internal loop configuration.
This way, the mixture is exposed to anoxic aeration three or four times a day, resulting in superior biological nutrient removal, even without the use of added chemicals. Phosphorous removal, through a process known as "biological luxury uptake", is another cost-free benefit.
€œUSBFâ„¢ does not require primary clarification prior to biological treatment and offers hydraulic flexibility because it easily accommodates high peak flows,€? says Frost - Sullivan Research Analyst Shilpa Tiku. €œIn fact, as the flow becomes greater, the sludge blanket rises higher and the filtration area expands simultaneously.€?
ECOfluid's USBFâ„¢ technology is, therefore, ideal for use in municipal and domestic wastewater treatment, water reclamation, industrial wastewater, and existing plant retrofits. Industrial wastewater is highly organic by nature, and biological packaged wastewater treatment offers an attractive option for treatment plants that are looking at viable and low-cost options. The USBFâ„¢ process is a self regulated system and very little, operator attention is required.
€œECOfluid Systems, Inc. is emerging as a company that has employed best practices that have not been replicated by other companies in the market.€? notes Tiku. €œECOfluid was benchmarked against all the companies that are present in the biological packaged wastewater treatment market. Its versatile technology and exceptional customer service makes ECOfluid a worthy recipient of 2006 Frost - Sullivan Technology Leadership Award.€?
Each year Frost - Sullivan presents this award to a company that has demonstrated excellence in technology leadership within its industry. The recipient company has demonstrated technology leadership by excelling in all stages of the technology life cycle €” incubation, adaptation, take up, and maturity €” to ensure a continuous flow of improvements. By innovating leading-edge concepts, the company has pioneered client applications.
Frost - Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.
