FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. Why does Wastewater treatment technology (under patent no. 19328) not use septic tanks and grease separators? Reply ...

The old technology is the decomposition technology: according to calculations, the time to store the wastewater in the decomposition tank (or septic tank) is from 48 to 72 hours. This technology does not use microorganism carriers. Our technology (under patent no. 19328) uses biodegradation process, thus: + Waste needs to go directly into the wastewater treatment tank without using a septic tank. Microorganisms grow very strongly and evenly in the water thanks to the microorganism carriers. + Biodegradation technology does not need to separate grease, but treats grease like other ordinary household waste.

2. Lacking of the "settlement" phase in the treatment process: does the turbidity of the produced efluent meet the Vietnamese Standard? Reply ...

The process of organic sludge formation will create turbidity. Here, Vandan Group's technology does not use settlement phase, but uses natural microorganisms to biodegrade sludge. Therefore, the produced water does not contain organic sludge. Setting up a compartment increases the tank capacity, unless the investor wants to reuse treated wastewater .

3. Odours: the characteristic of the wastewater treatment system is the generation of offensive odour, so it is necessary to have an odour treatment system before it is released into the building's general exhaust system. Why is there no odour treatment in this system? Reply ...

Odours are caused by organic acids and some carbon hydrogen during decomposition. Since we do not let wastewater to decompose, there is no need for a regular odour treatment system. In the event of an incident, the treatment system will become a regular septic tank, which will produce odours. We have added a deodorizing system in case of an incident.

4. The anaerobic digestion tank (also the conditioning tank) has not been calculated in terms of size, retention time and has no technical solution to regulate the flow. There is no solution to cut the Qmax and Qmin flow due to discharge fluctuation and discontinuity of waste from apartments and offices. Does this guarantee the safety of the microbiome? Reply …

Our technology does not use a conditioning tank because there is a need for high-load and low-load stages so that microorganisms lack "food" and destroy each other to eliminate biological sludge.

5. Is scum/garbage/sludge/manure solidified in the conditioning tank? Is a conditioning tank with a retention time of 3 hours not sufficient to replace the septic tank? Reply ..,

In our technological solution, the wastewater treatment system does not use a conditioning tank and the inspected part that has a lot of scum, garbage, and fecal sludge is the waste collection and separation compartment of the wastewater treatment tank. At the time of inspection, there was a lot of scum, sludge, and feces due to the biological activation stage. Scum and sludge will be dissolved in the next operation process. Specifically: + The scum on the surface is the surface-active microorganisms and contains fresh faeces. This will be destroyed by microorganisms in the microorganism beds. Initially, the amount of microorganisms in the microorganism beds was not large enough, so scum still exists. After the amount of microorganisms is large enough, this floating scum will be destroyed and a stable certain amount of residue always exists. + Garbage that exists when checked is due to the residue from the construction process, the Project Owner has requested the Contractor to clean up. Since the applied wastewater treatment technology does not use a conditioning tank, it is not necessary to mention the 3-hour retention time in the conditioning tank.

6. Aerobic tank: The optimal flow of air supply has not been calculated due to the use of direct wastewater decomposition technology, waste does not pass through a septic tank, so the air supply to the aerobic tank needs to be of a higher flow than that to the aeration tank (compared to the conventional technology, after going through the septic tank). Is the air supply to the tank according to the calculation appropriate? Reply ...

The air supply tank of this technology is to supplement CO2 with Oxygen for the synthesis and biodegradation process. The amount of oxygen required is the amount of BOD required for biological activity. It is different from and smaller than the old technology because the synthesis process is much smaller (by about 20%) than the old technology.

7. The system is designed without anaerobic digestion to treat Nitrogen -> Does the total nitrogen output meet Vietnamese Standard? Phosphorus reduction process is carried out in the conditioning + anaerobic tank by circulating sludge from the aerobic tank to the conditioning tank, leading to a high concentration of phosphorus accumulated in the tank -> Does the total phosphorus output meet Vietnamese Standard? Reply ...

We do not use these processes of old technology: anaerobic, anoxic, aerobic, sedimentation, disinfection. The new biodegradation of organic substances to produce natural gas in the air follows the process of Biodegradation - Recombination - Biodegradation. It does not oxidize Ammonia, reduce Nitrate and Phosphate like the old method.

8. The Autotroph compartment operates with air blowers, but with no disc diffuers. Is it guaranteed to sufficiently supply air to the aerobic compartment? Reply ...

We used to utilize disc diffusers and aeration tubes. But according to research and experiment, it is not as effective as the perforated tubes. This is applied very successfully by the Japanese in their Jokaso products. We have inherited and successfully applied this technological solution.

9. Wastewater from the autotroph compartment flows to the clean water collection compartment => there is no settling tank to separate the sludge (the equipment does not have a sludge separation mechanism), so is the produced effluent satisfactory after treatment? If there is not any residual sludge pump and residual sludge tank, is it very difficult to operate and control? Reply ...

Regarding the sewage sludge in the treated water, we do not use activated sludge, but use biological mass in the microorganism carriers, so there is no need to separate and filter. There is also no need to pump the excess sludge nor to store the excess sludge, because there is no residual sludge.

10. Does the wastewater treatment system lack septic tanks, grease separators, and garbage separators? Is it difficult for the invented system to safely treat the input wastewater that is a mixture of black and gray wastewater? Reply ...

According to the patent No. 19328, the wastewater treatment system does not need a preliminary treatment system (septic tanks, grease separators) and does not need a conditioning tank (Excerpt from page 22 of the section “Effects of the invention”).

11. Is the aeration system for aeration tanks unable to prevent clogging due to backflowing of sludge during shutdown? Reply ...

The aeration system is inherited from that of Japanese wastewater treatment equipment – JOKASO (JOHKASOU). We confirm that there will be no clogging in any condition because: Biological sludge in the water has size in nanometer (nm), so when the sludge flows into the aeration tube, the sludge will be pushed out easily by the air when the aeration tube is turned on. The aeration tube has the diameter of 2mm to 3mm.

12. There is no check valve at the base of the risers of the aeration tube? Reply ...

Normally, the check valve at the base of the risers of the aeration system helps to prevent sludge from flowing into the aeration tube and can cause clogging, if the aeration tube is too narrow for biological sludge. However, in this technology, there is no need to use any check valve at the base of the risers of the aeration system because the biological sludge is sized in nanometer, while the aeration tube’s diameter is from 2mm to 3mm, so the sludge will be easily pushed out by the air when the air blower is turned on.

13. Has the odour treatment system not been installed for the centralized wastewater treatment system of the project? Reply ...

This wastewater treatment technology according to Patent No. 19328 produces less unpleasant odours during treatment operation than conventional technology. However, appreciating the project owners’ suggestions, We will install additional activated carbon to treat odours.
