The Chatoyer Water Turbo Bio-Reactor (TBR) is a super compact system to treat high flow rates, is relocatable, fully automatic and requires minimal civil work; ideal for clients in remote locations and/or with limited space.

In conventional systems, bacteria are suspended in the water mass and with adequate retention time will multiply sufficiently to break down the organics. The Chatoyer Water Turbo Bio-Reactor (TBR) incorporates an additional bio-media within the bio-reactor tank which allows for a greater population of bacteria attached to bio media to be produced within the same sized tank, thereby substantially reducing the retention time for the same volume of water to be treated.

TBR systems can take shock loading unlike conventional systems and require just 30% of the foot print as compared to conventional STP's.

The Advanced Turbo Bio-Reactor also provides for nutrient reduction within the same unit, providing substantial reduction in nitrogen and phosphorous discharges from the system.

The TBR provides effective waste water treatment by removing COD, soilds and nutrients within one unit.

Comparison of Chatoyer Packaged System

Item Description	Turbo Bio-Reactor (TBR)	Conventional System
Shock loading to the system	Can handle larger shock loadings.	pH of the anaerobic system can be disrupted with high laundry loads during low flow periods. Any disturbances will require immediate operator attendance and monitoring.
Installation requirements	Minimal footprint. Depending on the EPA requirements, can be sited on a prepared bunded pad.	Requires large footprint and potentially major civil works.
MLVSS design levels	8,000 - 10,000ppm	2,000 - 3,000ppm
Bio-media	Advanced geometric bio-media design and aeration pattern ensures greater bacteria population and non clogging of media.	No bio-media.
Hydraulic design	System hydraulically balanced. Loss of power will not generate overflows in the system.
Sludge transfer pumps	All pumps maintain positive head. Easily serviced and interchangeable.	Generally negative head pumps. Require access to tanks removal for service replacement.
Spillages	System integrated within a single unit. Hydraulic balanced.	Potential for spillage between individual tanks and pipework.
Operator interface	Minimal attendance requirements.	Full time operator.
Relocation	Easily able to be relocated.	Not possible due to major civil works.
Odour	Minimal odour	Anaerobic rotting causes major odours.

Below is a table of the discharge values of a standard TBR system

	Discharge Values
Flow Rate	Design m³ rate per day as determined
Temperature	Ambient
pH	6 - 8
TSS	< 30ppm
BOD	< 20ppm
Faecal Coliforms	< 1,000 cfu/100ml (standard system)
Total Nitrogen	Design parameters to be confirmed
Total Phosphorous	Design parameters to be confirmed

Treatment plant sizes are based on actual volume of waste stream to be treated in respect of hydraulic load suspended and dissolved organic material, and the applicable effluent discharge requirements.
