IBAC Process - An Exciting Organic Technology

Major Benefits of Electronic Sensory Processing

BioDynes patented IBAC (Integrated Bio-Active Clarifier)

process represents a unique, wide-range, highly effective,
highly economical and advantageous biological water
reclamation technology. It incorporates aerobic, anoxic,
anaerobic, facultative, clarification and sludge treatment in
a single vessel, resulting in less tankage, controls and
equipment. IBAC systems also remove harmful biological
nutrients, require much less space than conventional
waste activated sludge plants and are more economical.

Now the benefits of biological wastewater treatment are

combined with modern technologies to achieve a dynamic
response to influent changes. Results:
Fast stabilization after major influent interruptions
Fast stabilization after influent upheavals
On-the-fly response to batch-related influent changes

Now IBAC II - For Unstable Environments

IBAC II is specifically designed to maintain a tight and
dynamically responsive control of the biological processes
within the single multi-zone bioreactor when influent
characteristics undergo upheavals, interruptions and
batch-related changes. Cutting-edge technology is used
for on-the-fly, optimum control and response to changes,
with full facilities for remote monitoring.

Major Benefits From Co-Treatment

An important benefit of the IBAC treatment process is that
solids and liquids are co-treated. The solids are degraded
and stabilized conjointly with the liquids in the same vessel.
The lower amount of solids results in reduced disposal costs.

Simplified Biological Nutrient Removal

The three zones in the IBAC process provide biological
nutrient removal (BNR) in the single vessel, without the need
for increased tankage, recycling pumps, complex process
controls and additional operators.

IBAC Process and IBAC II Technology Protection

In the aerobic zone, the microbes degrade and solubilize

COD, breaking long chain carbon compounds into easily
degradable substrates. The organisms within the microaerophilic and the anaerobic zones further absorb the
organic matter, converting it to short chain fatty acids
which are then oxidized by aerobic action within the upper
aerobic region. BioDynes accelerant is added to enhance
the treatment through microbial diversity.

BioDyne technology is protected by US and international

patents. BioDyne is expanding its intellectual property and
innovations through continuous research and development.
