HINKTON IFAS Technology

The Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS) system represents an advanced hybrid wastewater treatment technology that synergizes biofilm and activated sludge mechanisms. Its core innovation lies in the introduction of biofilm carriers into existing activated sludge reactors, creating a dual-ecosystem of suspended biomass and attached biofilm.

Design

IFAS process provides an extremely cost-efficient retrofit solution for conventional activated sludge systems that are at or beyond capacity. The hybrid process enhances treatment capacity by introducing biofilm carriers into existing activated sludge reactors, eliminating the need for reactor expansion. IFAS leverages existing systems, equipment, process knowledge, training, and operator expertise, making it a highly economical solution for municipal and industrial wastewater plants requiring capacity expansion or performance upgrades.

Main Application

Enhancement of treatment capacity in conventional activated sludge processes

Upgrading projects for conventional activated sludge systems to meet stricter discharge standards

Overcoming nitrogen removal bottlenecks in low-temperature environments

Improved removal efficiency of high-concentration organic pollutants in industrial wastewater

Advantages

Cost Efficient Retrofit Solution:
With minimal plant downtime, zero facility construction, and no extra space demand, IFAS provides a cost-efficient solution for WWP requiring capacity expansion or performance upgrades.
Enhanced Treatment Efficiency:
By introducing high specific surface area( 6,032 m²/m³) FLUBCA biofilm carrier, IFAS achieves 1.5 to 3 times improvements in BOD and ammonia nitrogen removal rates.
Inhenced System Stability:
IFAS achieves increased process stability under conditions of variable mixed liquor, solids retention, and organic loading rates.
Reduces the load to downstream activated sludge process.

Key Technologies

MBBR Technology -- FloBca Media

·Lower quantity demand which means lower capital cost.

Unique material density slightly higher than water (1.0045 kg/m³), combined with elastic properties, prevents floating and surface accumulation. (Traditional PE filter media are typically made of high-density polyethylene with a density of 0.95 kg/m³, lighter than water).
This ensures optimal fluidization without additional aeration pipes at the retaining screen. Normal fluidization can be achieved with the existing aeration layout.

·Solve traditional PE media of floating and surface accumulation issue.

·Reduce system commissioning time and lowers manual maintenance costs.

Excellent hydrophilicity, allowing for rapid biofilm formation and shorter biofilm maturation cycles.
· 10 years service life with superior quality

Aeration Technology

Retro-X Unbeatable Aeration System Technology

HINKTON Retro-X® is a proven, specially designed high-efficiency, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and self-cleaning aeration system tailored for MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) applications. It features the following characteristics:
· Upgrated Efficiency.The oxygen transfer efficiency is as high as 45% in sewage at a depth of 6 meters.
· PU membrane-unbeatable tear-resistant and abrasion-resistant (mechanical strength around 2.5-4 times that of most of the EPDM and silicone materials).
· Resistant to formic acid and oil grease, enable it to use in heavily polluted wastewater or in complex working conditions.
· ‘self - cleaning’ function. Regular 'self - cleaning' is carried out to ensure the efficiency of the aeration system remains stable.【Retro-X® Aeration System】
· Easy Routine Inspections or Aeration Diffuser Replacement. A team of two people can complete the replacement of a set of aeration system in 15 minutes. There is no need to drain water, nor use a crane or any lifting tools.
