Automatic Fruit Peeling Machine

The creation of peelers that can adapt to a variety of fruits and vegetables took years of development work. Again, the hard work has been worth it: Astra now has a complete line of peelers that can handle larger fruits like pineapples and mangos.

Astra still has a long way to go toward its goal of freeing people from the drudgery of hand peeling. Astra fruit peelers are innovative, fully automated fruit peeling solutions that put our user’s quality of life first.

Multifunctional respirometry systems

In this segment, we introduce the range of BM respirometers, meticulously conceived and produced by Surcis. These respirometers boast a unique design tailored for overseeing, modeling, researching, and educating individuals on biological processes within both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment systems.

BM Respirometry benefits for activated sludge process management, research and training

A biological process controlled by non-biological measurements?

All treatment plant efficiencies are geared to the waste that they receive. The microorganisms found in the waste need food and oxygen to survive, the food is provided as soluble organic carbon in the waste stream and the oxygen is obtained through the aeration process in the treatment plant.

Once a treatment plant has been built, the factors that will affect the biomass growth rate, such as flow and aeration rate, have already been established and therefore the only changing factor that remains that can affect the process is the incoming waste stream.

It could be formulated the following question: How is it possible to evaluate or predict the effect that can cause an organic or toxic pollution in the activated sludge biological process of a WWTP by means of the lonely chemical or physical parameters measurement? We must have into account that the activated sludge of a treatment plant is an alive process, with its own breathing; therefore, a lack of information on this aspect can cause to serious confusions in the following-up and control of the activated sludge process having serious repercussion in the effluent quality and energy consumption to be applied to the aeration system.

From the arguments above exposed, it exist the logical alternative to carry out the activated sludge process protection and control by means of tests and selective measures of Respirometry based on the oxygen uptake of the genuine microorganisms contained in the own activated sludge as an important complement of the physical-chemical parameters.

What is BM Respirometry?

It is a technology in where facets of the traditional and techniques from the most advanced respirometry are gathered in one state of the art analyzer of exclusive Surcis company design. The BM system under a powerful software permits calculations of decisive parameters approached to design, control and protect the activated sludge process of a wastewater treatment plant.

BM Respirometry employ a reaction vessel that in certain mode replicate the actions that occur at a treatment plant and asses the process through fundamental measurements, such as the speed at which the process is consuming oxygen, short term biological oxygen demand, biodegradable fractions of COD, non biodegradable fraction of COD, specific Toxicity for a determined activated sludge process, Nitrification activity, and many others.

It acquires special importance the determination of the non-biodegradable COD and specific Toxicity, because many times they can explain why some processes are unable to sufficiently remove the COD entering in the plant and give a coherent explanation to the water-agencies or official control organisms.

Some reasons to make use the BM Respirometry

Together with the microscopy, but much more efficient, the Respirometry is the only one open window to the microorganisms of the activated sludge and the actual reality of the activated sludge process.
Effective, simple, extremely fast, non-pollutant and at reasonable price.
It is not possible to assess an activated sludge process with only physic-chemical measurements: we are in need of parameters coming from the own biomass (activated sludge) and this can be only achieved by the Respirometry.
Analyze the effect that a wastewater or compound is making in the actual activated sludge process.
On easy, fast and practical ways, assess, protect, control the activated sludge process and follow-up its actual health.
Detect possible future problems and give up the guide lines for solutions.
Assess pre-treatment processes, effluent toxicity and biodegradation potential of waste streams.
Asses the impact of various inhibitory wastes and industrial effluents.
Lead to a route to improved plant performance.
Assess the exact requirements for the plant in order to optimize the efficiency at the lowest capital and operating costs.
Assess the amount of urban growth that the current operating plant can support.
Estimate the amount of industrial effluent that can be treated at a municipal plant.
Design new activated sludge processes.
It permits to optimize the current process operative parameters and lead the process to a possible energy optimization and important money savings.
It gives an essential support to simulation programs (BioWin, SassPro, GPS-X, ..)

Main benefits from the BM Respirometry use

In summary:

Problems prevention

The perfect combination of the most appropriate operative parameters together to the efficient follow-up of the activated sludge process health permits to anticipate and avoid typical problems such as bulking, foaming and progressive toxicity/inhibition.

Problems solutions

BM Respirometry is an essential tool to find out the guide lines to solve all problems related with the biological activated sludge process.
Any corrective change we make in the process repels on the sludge activity. The BM-T can make a follow-up of that activity and give the corresponding alarm when it goes out of the normal range.

Assessing the actual removal capacity

By means the fast determination of the substrate removal rate and determine the biodegradable, slowly and readily biodegradable, and non- biodegradable (inert) substrate fractions.

Best Nitrification-Denitrification performance

The nutrients removal, under the frame of best performance and energy saving, constitutes a key point in the activated sludge process; and the BM Respirometry has demonstrated to be the best tool for it.

Energy optimization

Not always the energy saving is possible in the process but its best optimization.
Surcis has developed a protocol from which, by means the BM Respirometry, the aeration energy can run under its limit level without loosing any efficiency within the biological treatment.

Wastewater treatment research

Wastewater treatments are on constant development and many Water Institutes and Universities have got important research projects on this sense. For that reason many BM systems are being used in those centres as an important tool for all the analysis of the biological wastewater treatment on different operative conditions that can be set in the BM respirometers.
