VTA Nanocarbon® is enormously effective and saves money in wastewater treatment, even with the smallest dosing quantities.
The next development stage of the VTA Liquid Engineering series.
VTA Nanocarbon® is a sophisticated suspension which boasts biophysical adsorption properties at the nanoscale, comprising functionalized carbon nanoparticles meticulously combined with specific cationization, bio activators, and essential bulk elements.
Thanks to the unique configuration of VTA Nanocarbon®, which maximizes its active surface area, even small doses within the existing purification system can efficiently remove anthropogenic trace substances, microplastic particles, and AOX in a lowenergy manner.
VTA Nanocarbon® effectively eliminates up to 99% of microplastic particles, especially those in the lower micrometer range.
By employing VTA Nanocarbon®, non-naturally degradable pollutants like AOX can be effectively removed from wastewater by up to 93%.
The liquid engineering process using VTA Nanocarbon® guarantees high trace substance elimination rates without expensive investments for conversion and expansion work, as well as energy-intensive operation of a 4th purification stage.
VTA Nanocarbon® is the latest development in the VTA Liquid Engineering series and marks a significant advance in wastewater treatment.
The compact floc configuration permits efficient oxygen dispersion, maximizing oxygen utilization. This facilitates a possible decrease in aeration energy usage of up to 30% during the activated sludge phase, playing a pivotal role in advancing energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in wastewater management.
The recorded values reflect the average cleaning effectiveness across different types of
wastewater treatment plants for various anthropogenic trace substances over a one-year period.
fewer microplastic particles
relevant trace substances are removed
less ventilation energy
pollutant parameters such as AOX are bound from the wastewater
The average elimination rate required by the EU Urban Wastewater Directive is 80%. VTA Nanocarbon® average trace substance elimination rate is 93%!
By maximising the settling speed of the solids, a high level of operational safety is ensured, even with high hydraulic loads. In addition, the biological activity is increased and the purification performance of the wastewater treatment plant is improved.
Several test series confirm this: VTA Nanocarbon® leads to a significant improvement in sedimentation behaviour and settling speed and improves the sludge properties, resulting in an optimal and compact floc structure. resulting in an optimised and compact floc structure.
According to the current state of technology, wastewater treatment plants are not able to retain or break down the micropollutants introduced by humans, meaning that rivers, lakes and even groundwater and drinking water are polluted. Microplastics also pose an ever-increasing risk to humans and the environment, with the smallest, health-relevant plastic particles in particular being insufficiently removed from wastewater by conventional wastewater treatment processes.
The introduction of VTA Nanocarbon® in the VTA Liquid Engineering series represents a significant milestone in wastewater treatment.
Thanks to its specific structure, VTA Nanocarbon® enables extensive and energy-efficient elimination of pollutants in the existing treatment system with minimal dosing. VTA Nanocarbon® is added to the aeration tank of the wastewater treatment plant to ensure optimum mixing and sufficient contact time.
VTA Nanocarbon® is extremely effective and money-saving in wastewater treatment, even with the smallest dosing quantities, and can replace the 4th treatment stage.
