Advancing Wastewater Treatment: Introducing INVENT’s Revolutionary iGSR® Technology

13/02/2024 By Gen Lynch

Revolutionary wastewater treatment technology

In the face of escalating water pollution, the imperative for clean water has never been more critical. Since the 1990s, INVENT Umwelt- und Verfahrenstechnik AG has been on a mission to address the urgent need for clean water, and design innovative solutions for water purification and treatment. With its ground-breaking products, INVENT plays a crucial role in safeguarding water quality on a global scale.

JIPL and INVENT: Collaborating for a Sustainable Future in New Zealand

JIPL is the exclusive provider of INVENT’s pioneering technologies in New Zealand and is aiming to forge meaningful partnerships with local entities. Our objective is to connect with relevant companies and foster collaborations that champion the cause of water purification and ecological preservation. Together, we strive to implement solutions that make a tangible difference, ensuring the sustainability and quality of water resources for future generations.

In this collective effort, we invite stakeholders to join us in revolutionising water treatment processes. By adopting INVENT’s Sequencing Batch Reactor and revolutionary iGSR® technologies, we address the pressing challenges of water pollution and set new standards in environmental stewardship. Let’s work together to protect our most precious resource—water.

The INVENT Sequencing Batch Reactor (iSBR®) and Granular Sludge Reactor (iGSR®): A Dual Approach to Wastewater Treatment

INVENT has revolutionised the field with its Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) technology, tailored for effectively treating municipal and industrial wastewater. The SBR’s batch-processing design ensures stable operating conditions, significantly reducing the risk of disruptions. Its adaptability and versatility mark a significant leap in wastewater treatment technology.

Complementing the iSBR® is the revolutionary new Granular Sludge Reactor (iGSR®), a testament to INVENT’s commitment to technological excellence. This system combines the benefits of conventional and activated sludge processes, offering unparalleled efficiency and stability. Designed for both small and large-scale applications, the iGSR® represents a modular, scalable solution adaptable to any plant size, eliminating the need for additional tanks and complicated internal structures.

Innovative Features of the iGSR® System

The iGSR® system represents a paradigm shift for wastewater treatment, featuring a simple, reliable design that executes multiple process steps concurrently in a single basin. This modular approach, coupled with a design tailored for optimal process stability, showcases the potential of fluid mechanics and innovative product design in enhancing wastewater treatment.

The iC3 Design: A Model of Efficiency

The heart of the INVENT system lies in the iC3 (INVENT Cascaded Continuous Cyclic Process Design), a process that integrates wastewater with activated sludge across all phases, facilitated by the unique design of the reactor modules. This setup allows for easy expansion and adaptation, ensuring crystal clear, biologically purified water through a robust and efficient process.

The iGSR® is the first system that fully exploits the potential of granular activated sludge and makes it accessible to large plants.

iSBR System

A Technological Leap Forward

INVENT’s holistic strategy extends beyond traditional water treatment, marking a comprehensive revolution in wastewater management. The synergy between the iSBR® and iGSR® systems promotes energy efficiency, rapid sludge settling, and a minimized environmental footprint, setting new standards for the industry. It achieves this while maintaining low energy demands and decreasing overall lifecycle expenses, all without compromising on reliability.

By integrating these advancements, any existing or new facility can be transformed into a truly revolutionary plant, setting new benchmarks for efficiency, effectiveness, and environmental stewardship.

Global Impact

With the iGSR® system already in operation globally and setting benchmarks for purification performance and energy efficiency, INVENT shows its commitment to water treatment excellence. This approach not only meets the urgent need for water purification but also paves the way for sustainable practices and ecological accountability.

The collaboration between INVENT’s Granular Sludge Reactor and Sequencing Batch Reactor technologies is more than an advancement— it’s an urgent call to action. Adopting these technologies can transform facilities into exemplars of sustainability and operational efficiency. Together, we can secure our most vital resource: water.
