Biological nitrification
Nitrification is the biological process of converting ammonia into nitrate. For tertiary biological nitrification the autotrophic bacteria are using oxygen which is distributed evenly in the filter bed by means of a fine bubble aeration grid. Filtrate ammonia levels of < 2 mg/l ammonia-N are achieved consistently, even at water temperatures as low as 5 °C.
Testimonials
We are happy to collaborate with our clients to meet their objectives.
And we highly appreciate their feedback!
We are operating a big tertiary filter plant consisting of 24 filter cells to remove nitrogen and phosphorus prior to effluent discharge. The plant is in operation since 2009, and in the beginning we tried to monitor the filters by using an ultrasonic sand circulation measurement tool. This did not work. After Brightwork implemented Sand-Cycle in 2016, this proved to be very useful in our day-to-day operations. We have managed to operate the filters in the most optimal way and we are very happy to use such a powerful tool.

Conway Engineering were engaged by the Client to design, build and commission a turnkey solution for the treatment of contaminated leachate from dredging operations at Alexandra Basin, Port of Dublin, Ireland. The key challenges included the level of contamination, the onerous discharge standards, the site area available and the limited sampling data initially available for design.
The open collaborative approach with Brightwork allowed us to design and develop a bespoke treatment process that was optimised and extended on site to ensure compliance with the strict environmental licensing in place. This partnership resulted in successful delivery of the Client’s brief to the highest standards
