Technology description
The ACO Clara sewage treatment plant consists
of a mechanical pre-treatment part and a
biological compartment.

The biological part of the ACO Clara consists of

an activation tank and a built-in final
sedimentation tank.

Surplus sludge is stored in the storage area,

which in fully loaded plants is capable of holding
about 100 - 150 days capacity.

The mechanical pre-treatment part is formed of

a sedimentation tank with a high buffer area
volume.

The activation tank is aerated by micro-bubble

aeration.

The pumping of sewage water and return and

surplus sludge is achieved using air lifts in the
ACO Clara. These air lifts need no maintenance
and are resistant to clogging. The hydraulic
capacity of the air lifts is continuously
adjustable, even at very low flow rates. This
helps to ensure a uniform purification process
and thus achieve stable purification efficiency.

The sewage water enters the ACO Clara unit via

the inlet pipe and flows into the buffer area of
the common buffer and storage tank. Settlable
solids fall to the bottom of the tank and floating
matter is caught by a scum board, thus
protecting the raw sewage air lift pump against
blockage.
Hydraulic peaks at the inlet of ACO Clara
sewage treatment plants are absorbed in the
buffer area. The pre-treated water is then
pumped at a uniform flow rate from the buffer
area into the biological part of the plant.
Hydraulic peak equalising considerably
increases the stable purification efficiency.

The water goes from the activation tank into

the final sedimentation tank, which enables
treated water to be separated gravitationally
from activated sludge. The treated water flows
out of the sewage treatment plant through the
outlet connection. The activated sludge falls to
the bottom of the final sedimentation tank, from
where it is pumped back as return sludge and
also partly into the storage area as surplus
sludge.

The only electric appliance of the ACO Clara is

a blower supplying air into the aeration
elements in the activation tank and into the air
lifts.

The final sedimentation tank is optionally

equipped with a skimmer for the automatic
collection and removal of floating sludge from
the water surface. This device can reduce
maintenance work during operation.

Adapters of ACO Clara

Increasing the installation depth is possible
without any expensive construction work. The
main tanks of the AC Clara can be extended
with adapters, enabling the height of the main
tank to be increased quickly and easily. The
access cover(s) is (are) identical, either for use
with the main tank or with the adapter(s).

The adapter position is secured by screws. The

usage of two adapters with different heights
which can be used separately or together
makes possible height adjustment in a range of
multiples of 100 mm.
