Fluidised Media Reactor (FMR)

The INDION Fluidised Media Reactor (FMR) uses the attached growth process for waste water/sewage treatment and recycle. It incorporates a single tank unit, consisting of a bar screen chamber, specially designed floating media to facilitate the attached growth process, oxygen transfer through diffused membrane aeration, lamella settler and chlorine contact tank. The system is available in mild steel and reinforced concrete.

The FMR works on the same principle as the submerged fixed film process with only one exception - the media is not fixed and floats around in the aeration tank. The main advantage of this system over the submerged fixed film process is that it prevents choking of the media. This also avoids sludge recirculation. Compared to conventional technologies the FMR is compact, energy efficient and user friendly. It also allows flexibility in design of the reactor tank. The advantages of the INDION FMR are many –

Unique single tank design, no moving parts & easy maintenance.

Attached growth process, with specially designed moving media.

Compact and modular design.

Minimal pumping and chemical cost, low operating cost.

Flow rate for sewage treatment exceeding100 m3/d.

Applications of FMR include decentralised compact sewage plants for housing complexes, hotels, commercial complexes, industries and rural communities. It can also be used in industrial waste treatment in industries such as food & beverage, textile, pulp & paper, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals and dairy production.

Orders for the INDION fluidised media bed reactor for sewage treatment include Reliance India Ltd., ICC – Pune, SDM Technoengrs (Satyam Computers) and JK Cement, Rajasthan
