UOP XCeedTM Bioreactor Technology

Integrated solution for contaminant removal from industrial wastewater streams

UOP XCeed Bioreactor Technology

With 100 years of experience removing

contaminants, UOP provides proven

wastewater treatment solutions that

improve operating efficiency.

UOP’s XCeedTM bioreactor technology incorporates simple design

principles and unique microbial growth support media for treating

the most challenging industrial wastewater streams. This advanced

technology provides robust and cost-effective operations while

minimizing sludge production and energy consumption.

Technology Overview

XCeed Bioreactor System >(Multi-chamber packed beds

with adjustable aeration)

Proprietary Mixed-Media(High surface area for microbes

to grow and mobilize, resulting in high rates of contaminant removal)

Bio-catalyst(Extended microbial life

minimizes sludge generation)

Features Benefits

High organic removal efficiency Low aeration horsepower and associated energy costs

Increased microbial sludgeretention time

Resistant to upstream process changesConsistent effluent qualityMinimal sludge production

Low hydraulic retention time Small footprint

Stable microbial population Consistent effluent quality that is resistant to upstreamprocess chamges

High efficiency in a compact design

UOP’s XCeed bioreactor technology utilizes a packed bed, plug flow design that provides greater solids

retention time while minimizing the hydraulic retention time. The increased solids retention time results

in a high biomass to feed ratio that promotes biological oxygen demand (BOD) removal while minimizing

sludge formation. High concentrations of immobilized bacteria provide natural resistance to and fast

recovery from process upsets. The high rates of BOD reduction and flexible process configuration also

allows for asmall system footprint.
