Agricultural Wastewater Treatment Systems

AST bead filters are a useful tool on modern farms that want to practice good water management.

In some applications bead filters are simply used as filtration devices removing particles above 100 microns that would otherwise clog downstream spray heads. More commonly they are used to reduce organic levels that would cause downstream biofouling or create unhealthy conditions for animals.

Solids Removal and Biological Treatment

Our filters can be directly applied to the pretreatment of surface or groundwaters that may be used for a variety of agricultural purposes. A second agricultural bead filter application is the treatment and/or polishing of water discharged from aerobic and anaerobic lagoons for the purpose of meeting discharge standards. In this scenario the units can be used to meet the commonly targeted parameters of TSS, BOD, or ammonia reduction.

Pilot RCPG System for Facultative Lagoon Polishing

In order to meet increasingly strict discharge standards, AST provided a trailer mounted pilot scale test unit to pull a side stream off of the current waste stream.
