Is your treatment facility nearing its hydraulic or solids limits?  Expansion is not your only option. A proven process intensification (PI) strategy can significantly increase throughput and performance - without expanding your plant footprint.

Why choose process intensification?

Process intensification leverages existing infrastructure to increase treatment capacity and performance.  By optimizing current assets, PI enables facilities to treat higher flows and loads using the same tank volumes – while staying compliant with evolving effluent standards. 

Key advantages:

• Lower CapEx compared to greenfield expansion
• Easier integration and faster implementation timelines
• Scalable, proven technologies
• Future-ready compliant with built-in flexible

Proven technologies. Real results.

Among the most effective PI technologies are ballasted clarification and dynamic sludge filtration, both offering high treatment efficiency and operational flexibility in a compact footprint.  Xylem’s BioMag® high-rate ballasted clarification system and Taron™ advanced activated sludge filtration technology are engineered to help wastewater facilities: 

• Increase MLSS to push biological capacity—without new tanks
• Reduce hydraulic retention time (HRT) while maintaining permit compliance
• Support higher loading rates with minimal capital investment
• Adapt to tightening regulations and changing influent conditions
