A GEMINI SUCCESS STORY

Aquanos deployed a two-stage UASB Gemini in a medium size dairy farm in Northern Israel. Israel's hot middle-eastern climate makes herd cooling of a $3 Billion dairy industry a necessity. 

When temperatures hit 32 degrees Celsius, milk production losses can be between 20-30%. Countries including Israel, South Africa, and Australia keep their cows cool with fans, misting, and spraying.

With this added water use, however comes increased wastewater. In Israel, dairy farm effluent standards for discharging wastewater to local WWTPs are getting stricter, specifically requiring effluent content of 800 mg/L of COD and 400 mg/L of TSS.

The Gemini at the Beit Hillel dairy farm has been steadily meeting the effluent standards set in Israel, controlling pollution output and providing the opportunity to extract biogas to be burned, cleanly fueling the farm’s operations.

The Beauty of simple on-site wastewater treatment

The project to the right is at Shacharut, Israel treating a residential home’s wastewater using the AquaGnome modular solution. Click here to see a video tour of this system.

The project below is a similar modular AquaGnome system for a household in Elazar, Israel. This system is buried, using gravity to reduce the reliance on pumps.

On-site wastewater treatment for communtiies

This system treats municipal wastewater in the town of Lachish, Israel. The daily flow of 200 cubic meters is treated to an extremely high quality of effluent which can be used to irrigate crops in the area or discharge safely into the surrounding environment.
