ABMet for Selenium Removal

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document presents GE's ABMet* technology for selenium removal, emphasizing its simplicity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. It highlights the system's ability to meet stringent effluent requirements without post-treatment, ensuring low labor and consumables costs.

Key Features:

Simple Operation: ABMet operates automatically with remote monitoring, requiring minimal operator resources.
Cost Efficiency: Utilizes a single nutrient source for carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and micro-nutrients, reducing operating costs.
Reliability: The biofilter design ensures high availability, meeting the power industry's 99.9% requirement.
Proven Technology: With over 17 years of development and multiple operating plants, ABMet is a trusted solution for selenium removal.

Performance Guarantees:

Effluent selenium concentration guaranteed below 5 ppb.
Effluent BOD and TSS concentrations guaranteed down to 30 and 35 ppm, respectively.
Guaranteed performance at water temperatures as low as 5°C.

Innovative Technology:

Fast startup with specialized bacteria strains for selenium-laden waters.
Biofilter design optimizes the environment for selenium removal.
Direct removal of selenium without transferring it to downstream processes.

Applications: Suitable for treating various wastewaters, including FGD wastewaters, coal power plant ash landfill leachate, and agricultural runoff.

Process Constraints:

Nitrate-N: < 250 mg/l
Chloride: < 25,000 mg/l
TSS: < 250 mg/l
Temperature: 40 to 105ºF (5 to 40ºC)
pH: 6–9

Scalability: The modular design allows adaptation to various flow rates, from 25 to 1400 gpm.

Equipment Package: Includes process, mechanical, electrical, and control engineering, along with necessary components and onsite commissioning.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Non-pathogenic seed culture.
No need for reseeding or backup supply of seed culture.
Low power consumption and operating costs.

Implementation and Costs: Fast implementation with pre-fabricated components. Competitive capital costs compared to other biological systems.

Waste Handling: Produces a single waste stream with less than 0.5% solids, easily managed by existing systems.

Contact Information: For more details, contact GE's global headquarters in Trevose, PA, USA.
