OmniMax Wastewater Treatment Systems

OmniMax-A (aerating) Treatment Systems: Enhanced Secondary Treatment for High-Strength Waste

Orenco’s OmniMax-A is a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) that significantly reduces BOD, TSS, TKN, and ammonia in high-strength or high-flow wastewater exceeding 25,000 gallons per day. It features an insulated, watertight vessel with fine-bubble aeration that delivers effluent that meets or exceeds BOD/TSS limits. Its modular design and accessibility make installation, operation, and maintenance simple and cost effective.

Applications

MBBRa systems are ideal for sites requiring advanced secondary treatment, including:

• Municipal, commercial, and industrial wastewater facilities
• High-strength waste pretreatment (e.g., food processing, dairies)
• Nitrification for ammonia reduction
• New installations, retrofits, or expansions in permanent or mobile locations
• At-grade or above-grade setups in diverse climates

Key Features and Benefits

• Insulated & Enclosed Vessel: Stable temperatures for year-round process control; energy efficiency with minimal seasonal adjustments; prevention of I&I;, algae, and evaporation through watertight design
• Modular, Scalable & Flexible: Large, varied vessel sizes for maximum efficiency, seamlessly integrating with AdvanTex media and existing systems
• Energy-Efficient Aeration: Fine-bubble plate diffusers provide 3-4x oxygen transfer vs. coarse air systems, optimized for low energy consumption
• Simplified Maintenance: Serviceable diffusers and aeration lines without system shutdown or bypass, no media removal required

OmniMax-D (denitrifying) Treatment Systems: Advanced Denitrification for Stringent Nitrogen Limits

Orenco’s OmniMax-D is a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) that delivers pre-anoxic and/or post-anoxic denitrification to achieve total nitrogen reductions up to 85%, meeting discharge limits as low as 10 mg/L TN. Compatible with AdvanTex^® AX-Max™ and other secondary systems, the MBBRd uses pneumatic mixing to suspend biofilm carriers in an insulated vessel, enabling efficient nitrate removal (NO₃-N) in residential, commercial, or industrial settings. Its modular, accessible design simplifies installation, operation, and maintenance while supporting carbon dosing for optimal performance.

Applications

OmniMax-D systems excel in scenarios demanding nitrogen control, such as: 

• Pre- and post-anoxic denitrification
• Permanent and mobile locations
• Above-grade or at-grade installation
• A wide range of climates
• Existing systems requiring stringent nitrogen limits

Key Features and Benefits

• Insulated & Enclosed Vessel: R-26 foam-core fiberglass for temperature stability, watertight integrity, minimal seasonal adjustment, and I&I prevention
• Efficient Mixing System: Durable pneumatic mixers (5 CFM per bubble), corrosion-resistant agitation of biofilm carriers without high energy use
• Simplified Maintenance: Mixers and media accessible via lids without system bypass, carbon feed integration for reliable denitrification
• Modular & Flexible: 8ft x 8ft (height and width) standard vessels with optional 10ft/12ft widths, optional safety railings and control rooms for above-grade installations
• Proven Performance: HDPE biofilm carriers and fiberglass construction for long-term reliability, with up to 85% nitrate reduction in varied configurations
