20,000 Person Package Treatment Plant

Ultra-mega capacity for over 20,000 people designed for municipalities, organized industrial zones, and large industrial complexes:

• Town/county municipality wastewater — main treatment of urban sewage
• Mega organized industrial zone facility — organized industrial zone with 100+ factories
• Ultra-luxury mega resort — world brand resorts with 2000+ rooms
• City hospital complexes — multidisciplinary campuses with 1000+ beds
• Mega university campuses — 30,000+ students + dormitory + social facilities
• Military base/garrison — regional command center
• Mega industrial complex — petrochemical, steel, food mega factories
• Airport + logistics centers — large operational campuses

Typical usage examples (mega scale):

• Municipality with a population of 30,000: Central urban wastewater treatment, end discharge point of sewer infrastructure.
• Mega organized industrial zone with 100+ factories: Common biological + advanced treatment center after sectoral pre-treatment.
• Mega resort (2500+ rooms): Water recovery + 95% reuse in irrigation — annual savings of million m³.
• Mega hospital campus with 1000+ beds: UV + MBR + advanced N-P + advanced biological — strict health wastewater profile.
• Mega university with 30,000 students: Dormitory + academic + social facilities treated at a single point.

Important: For this capacity, instead of a package system, classical activated sludge plant or conventional MBR plant is often more economical. Alternatives are evaluated after field analysis.

The technology we recommend for this capacity:

• Conventional activated sludge plant — an open concrete plant is more economical than a package at this scale
• Advanced biological N-P removal — A2/O, UCT, or Bardenpho process
• MBR retrofit infrastructure — ready for future water recovery
• Anaerobic sludge stabilization — biogas production + energy recovery
• Industrial dewatering — centrifuge decanter + thermal drying
• DCS full automation — 24/7 monitoring + alarm + reporting + remote control
• Online monitoring — pH, DO, MLSS, BOİ proxy, turbidity, flow rate
• Redundancy — 100%+50% capacity on critical equipment
• API separator + IAF — for oil-containing industrial wastewater

*If a package system is offered at this capacity, a modular hybrid solution (2 or 3 parallel modules) will be provided.*

Technical specifications (for 20,000 people / 3995-4000 m³/day):

• Reactor material: ST37 carbon steel body (modular hybrid) or concrete facility
• Corrosion protection: Epoxy paint + bituminous coating, 20-25 years lifespan
• BOD removal: 94-97% (inlet 300-500 mg/L → outlet 10-18 mg/L)
• COD removal: 90-95% (inlet 600-900 mg/L → outlet 60-90 mg/L)
• TSS removal: 96+% (outlet 15-25 mg/L)
• NH4-N removal: 90-95% (A2/O advanced biological process)
• Total N removal: 80-88%
• Total P removal: 85-92% (chemical + biological)
• Automation: PLC + SCADA + optional DCS, full redundancy
• Energy consumption: Typical 0.35-0.55 kWh/m³ (efficiency increase at mega scale)
• Footprint: Modular hybrid or open facility — based on site analysis
• Warranty: Mechanical 12 months (extendable to 24 months), body 10 years
• Certifications: CE, ISO 9001/14001/45001, OHSAS
• Sludge treatment: Dewatering + optional drying + biogas production

Investment analysis for a 20,000-person system:

• Annual treated water: ~1,458,175 m³
• Reusable water (for irrigation/process): ~1,312,358 m³ (90% — high efficiency at mega scale)
• Operating savings: Between 30-50% of total annual water expenses
• Avoidance of municipal sewer fees: Additional savings of +40-60% depending on the region
• Biogas production potential: Electricity generation through anaerobic sludge stabilization
• Prevention of environmental compliance fines: Risk of million TL fines for exceeding discharge limits
• Estimated payback period: Typically between 3-6 years
• Equipment lifespan: 20-30 years (mega scale investment — long-lasting)
• Sustainability: ESG reporting + carbon credit potential
