500 Person Package Treatment Plant

Capacity of 500-900 people for large settlement and institutional projects:

• Large hotels — resort, boutique hotel with 100-200 rooms
• Residential complexes — mega project area with 150-300 apartments
• University campuses — dormitory + academic building
• Hospitals and health centers — 50-100 bed capacity
• Military facilities — barracks, training center, logistics camp
• Industrial parks — small organized industrial zones, organized small industry
• Shopping centers — medium-sized shopping mall

Typical usage examples:

• 150-room resort hotel (Antalya/Bodrum): Treats wastewater for use in landscaping instead of discharging into the sea.
• 300-apartment site (Istanbul): Pre-treatment before discharge to municipal sewer — more economical subscription.
• 100-bed city hospital: UV disinfection + advanced biological N-P removal as standard.
• Medium factory within an industrial zone: Pre-treatment to meet sectoral discharge limits.

The technology we recommend for this capacity:

• MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) — standard if there is a water recovery goal
• Advanced biological N-P removal — for Turkey's SKKY advanced limits
• UV disinfection — for hospitals, hotels, public areas
• Sludge thickening — decanter or belt press
• PLC SCADA automation — remote monitoring

*The MBR + UV + advanced N-P combination is standard in resort hotel and hospital projects.*

Technical specifications (500 people / 95-100 m³/day):

• Reactor material: ST37 carbon steel, 4-6 mm thickness
• Corrosion protection: Epoxy paint or bituminous coating, 15-20 years lifespan
• BOD removal: 92-96% (inlet 300-400 mg/L → outlet 15-20 mg/L)
• COD removal: 88-94% (inlet 600-800 mg/L → outlet 80-100 mg/L)
• SS removal: 95+% (outlet 20-30 mg/L)
• NH4-N removal: 85-90% (advanced biological process)
• Automation: PLC controlled, SCADA remote monitoring optional
• Energy consumption: Typical 0.4-0.7 kWh/m³ of treated water
• Footprint: Reactor only + 1 m service area
• Warranty: Mechanical 12 months, body 5 years
• Certifications: CE, ISO 9001, ISO 14001

Investment analysis for a system of 500 people:

• Annual treated water: ~36,500 m³
• Reusable water (for irrigation): ~31,025 m³ (%85)
• Operational savings (water bill): Between 25-40% of total annual water expenses
• Avoidance of municipal sewer fees: Additional savings of +30-50% depending on the region
• Prevention of environmental compliance penalties: Severe penalties for exceeding discharge limits
• Estimated payback period: Typically between 2-4 years
• Equipment lifespan: 15-20 years (over 70% of investment lifespan is profit)
• Sustainability: Direct contribution to the conservation of water resources
