• Least expensive way to add surface area to an existing waste water treatment facility for digestion of BOD
• Lowest cost for nutrient removal from a waste water stream

• High efficiency media and ecological environment for BOD destruction
• Can digest extremely high BOD waste stream of over 20,000 BOD
• System maximizes organic waste destruction
• Outstanding results for lowering BOD
• Eliminates nearly 90% of sludge production

• Low cost design utilizes few operational wear components
• Provides the greatest BOD destruction for the least capital expenditure
• Simplest and most economic solution for existing waste water treatment facilities to add surface area for lowering their BOD
• DDS is an auxillary system that operates under the facilities current permit

• DDS has very dependable and low maintenance operation
• Provides BOD destruction at 40% of the operational cost of conventional systems
• utilizes very few moving parts
• Completely automated and can be remotely monitored
• Low cost maintenance and management agreement

• The DDS provide an ideal environment for BOD destruction
• Utilizes a high surface area plastic media as a bio filter
• The digester environment is completely tunable for an organic waste stream
• Microbial ecology in digester is able to adapt to changes in influent rapidly

• BOD destruction results in nutrient removal by microbial biomass production
• Nutrient removal provides higher water quality effluent
• Effluent quality can be affected as needed by tuning the digester environment
• Digester flow rates can be tuned as required
• Higher nutrient removal can result in greater sludge production that can be further digested

• Draconis Digester System can eliminate nearly 90% of sludge generated by waste water treatment
• This lowers sludge disposal costs to nearly 1/10 of prior costs
• Micron and membrane filtration can retain the nutrients during sludge digestion
• Retained nutrients have little to no odor

Enclosing the facility in a building helps to protect the system from ultraviolet rays and allows the use of lower cost PVC components in most cases

Utilizes the building as insulation from the environment and allows the system to operate at highest digestion potential

A stable environment allows the system ecology to remain constant and healthy this provides for the most rapid BOD destruction

This eliminates odors asscoiated with the ecological collapse that occurs in normal sewage treatment operations

Provides for the digestion of waste water in a stand alone system that can operate as the waste water treatment facility for a community or Industry.  This system passes 80% of the influent through the filter system and retains only about 20% making it extremely cost effective.  Lowering capital costs and operaing costs

Using micron filtration and membrane filter on all water that is discharged ensures the quality of the effluent

All backflush from the micron filter system and the membrane filter system are sent to the sludge digester to reduce the total BOD.  Only about 20% of the total flow of the facility is retained and handled in the sludge digester making it much higher BOD and a much smaller system.

The soluble compounds composed of simple sugars and soluble fatty acids in the waste water influent are easily digested and converted into microbial biomass, then they are easily separated in the clarifier

This configuration creates the most efficient BOD destruction using the smallest system and results in the lowest capital cost in the industry.  Passing 80% of the water through the filtration system both guarantees the lowest operating cost and guarantees the discharge water quality

Depending on the Waste Water Treatment Facility's requirements the system can be installed to target the specific areas where the existing system is not performing

When installed in the primary treatment it removes water from the primary tanks and digests the organics and then re-enters the water into the primary or into the secondary as desired by the operator

This most likely would be used for WWT facilities that have high FOG

The DDS could work anaerobically with the FOG to produce energy in the form of methane gas and lower the FOG-BOD load

This installation would be desirable for WWT facilities that need to lower their BOD output or other nutrient outputs such as Nitrogen or Phophorous

The DDS would work aerobically to maximize the biological growth to tie up the nutrients in microbial biomass

The Draconis Digester System utilized in the tertiary treament would be to trim the BOD of the effluent to meet regulatory requirements

The advantages are that if the WWT facility is not too far out of compliance the system can be relatively small keeping the costs down.

The DDS can be used to expand treatment capability for a growing community

One of the most beneficial uses of the DDS is to remove the sludge disposal issue for a community or industry

DDS used at the activated sludge system will reduce the sludge output by digesting the organic biomass

The sludge can be reduced by 85-90% 

The high horsepower blowers providing air to the activated sludge system can be removed.

The sludge is more efficiently digested by the fixed film membrane filter at 40% or less of the cost per pound of BOD removal.

The DDS utilized at the sludge storage tank for a WWT facility that otherwise is operating in compliance with the Clean Water Act will benefit by the elimination of 85-90% of the sludge removal costs.

Sludge is reduced to essentially the inorganic component.The sludge remaining has little to no odor.

If a community has no heavy metal issues then the remaining sludge can be used for landfill or non-agricultural application such as nurseries and golf courses.

• The same digester can be operated anaerobically by simply shutting off the air
• Shut off the air and the system becomes an efficient methane producer for all of the same resons it was an efficient aerobic digester
• Add gas collection system
• Add power generation island
• Add power connection equipment
• These services are avaialble by contract

• Fats, oils and greases are efficiently and economically removed via anaerobic digestion
• resulting in the production of methane
• That can provide some or all of the power required to operate the system
