WHY PRISMSS?
PRISMSS® was formed to provide a unique, patented process solution to industrial, municipal, and agricultural wastewater treatment compliance requirements. PRISMSS®’s patented process employs an extremely efficient aerobic fixed biofilm bioremediation treatment strategy that is application-specific, cost-efficient, and tailored to a wide variety of effluent waste stream types.
PRISMSS® equipment has proven successful in a variety of industrial applications in both equalization and activated sludge basins. Unique aeration process efficiencies, combined with the bio-breeding chamber, reduce the expense of continuous microbial insertions required in many biological systems. The combination process also reduces the need for a large footprint, additional aeration equipment, and infrastructure additions. Optional instrumentation can monitor (log or transmit) a variety of treatment parameters, including: dissolved oxygen, pH, total dissolved solids, temperature & conductivity
- Improve efficiency and capacity of municipal wastewater (conventional activated sludge – CAS) treatment systems
- Controlling nitrification
- Conversion of ammonia to nitrates.
- Phosphorous removal utilizing PAOs
- Increasing dissolved oxygen to reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD).
- Controlling of fats, oils, and grease (FOG).
- Increased oxygen transfer increasing microbial processing efficiency.
- Aerobic digestion.
- Anaerobic digestion.
- VOC / Oil Sands process remediation.
- Chloride reduction (brine conditions > 5% salt content)
- Phenolics and chloronated hydrocarbons
- Increasing biodiversity (through bioaugmentation) of mixed liquid suspended solids (MLSS) – Groundwater treatment.
- Acid rock drainage (ARD) from mining operations.Its versatile design (aerobic / anaerobic configuration) allows the PRISMSS Bio-Reactor to efficiently treat ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and phosphates by both aerobic and anaerobic microbiological pathways
Historically, we have had each sludge pond in service for 12 to 15 months prior to using bacteria…with bacteria and 19 months of service…no visible indication, the pond needed to be taken out of service…after 12 to 15 months the west pond would have 3,800 to 4,200 yards of sludge removed…after 19 months the survey showed 2,900 yards of sludge…delaying the cleaning…for eight additional months…this indicates an increase of 1.25 years…we would be required to clean the ponds every 3.75 years rather than every 2.5 years…a 50 % increase in time between
cleaning…or a 33% reduction in the frequency of cleaning ponds…reduction of cleaning ponds…reduction of reclaiming oil shipments…reduction of flocculent…could more than justify the purchase of the PRISMSS Reactor…
PRISMSS approach intrigued me for several reasons…the possibility of reducing BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and odor difficulties, while…eliminating or reducing large capital intensive upgrades and associated engineering and consulting fees…we observed significant BOD reduction, no odor build-up, which has been an annual problem in spring and early summer of each year…Our wastewater is extremely variable…and there is no flow equalization mechanism… The PRISMSS System operated effectively…requiring minimum maintenance… In summary, we enjoyed working with PRISMSS team. It is my view that the PRISMSS Systems process will prove to be of significant benefit to the wastewater treatment industry in terms of performance, cost-effectiveness & reliability.
Energy savings relative to conventional “splasher” and aeration processes are tremendous, ranging from 15% to 40%…pay back periods are typically less than three years…empirical predictors have been established that indicate
that the performance of the PRISMSS system is equal or greater than those of competing units on the market…
