Technology description
The ACO Clara C sewage treatment plant
consists of a mechanical pre-treatment part
and a biological compartment.
The mechanical pre-treatment part is formed
of a sedimentation tank with a high buffer area
volume.
The sewage water enters the ACO Clara C unit
via the inlet pipe and flows into the buffer area
of the common buffer and storage tank.
Settlable solids fall to the bottom of the tank
and floating matter is caught by a scum board,
thus protecting the raw sewage air lift pump
against blockage.
Hydraulic peaks at the inlet of ACO Clara C
sewage treatment plants are absorbed in the
buffer area. The pre-treated water is then pumped at a uniform flow rate from the buffer area

into the biological part of the plant.

Hydraulic peak equalising considerably increases the stable purification efficiency.
The water goes from the activation tank into
the final sedimentation tank, which enables
treated water to be separated gravitationally
from activated sludge. The treated water flows
out of the sewage treatment plant through the
outlet connection. The activated sludge falls to
the bottom of the final sedimentation tank,
from where it is pumped back as return sludge
and also partly into the storage area as surplus
sludge.

which in fully loaded plants is capable of holding about 100 - 150 days capacity.
The pumping of sewage water and return and
surplus sludge is achieved using air lifts in the
ACO Clara C. These air lifts need no maintenance and are resistant to clogging. The hydraulic capacity of the air lifts is continuously
adjustable, even at very low flow rates. This
helps to ensure a uniform purification process
and thus achieve stable purification efficiency.

The final sedimentation tank is optionally

equipped with a skimmer for the automatic
collection and removal of floating sludge from
the water surface. This device can reduce
maintenance work during operation.
Surplus sludge is stored in the storage area,
