Small footprint for sewage processing

Ministry of Kuwait City initiated a program to assess the problem of implementing a sewage treatment plant within 100 meters of residential area at the Hutten Plant in the South Sourra neighborhood of Kuwait City. There were two main problems, related to minimal odor emissions and the elimination of sludge. A comparison between Activated Sludge Sewage Treatment and a patented Bio-Filtration Technology called the Hans BioShaft&reg system was conducted. The implementation of this municipal wastewater treatment plant system utilizing an advanced bio-filtration system resulted numerous advantages over activated sludge systems were demonstrated. This system is of compact size, and provides a huge surface area upon which bacteria and oxygen can consistently and effectively interact with and remove biosolids from the waste stream. This system reduced the retention time, which is required to treat sewage and make the compact treatment plant very efficient and effective,.
