Simple and Cost Effective Wastewater Treatment Solutions
Aquatec Maxcon designs and supplies packaged wastewater treatment plants for medium sized regional and remote communities as well as mining operations.
Our package plants use simple civil designs, including circular tanks and earth-lined lagoons, to help minimise capital costs and construction requirements. Plants can be configured to suit project-specific flows, influent characteristics, nutrient removal requirements, treated water quality and site constraints.
Depending on the application, treatment technologies can include:

Packaged Treatment Technologies
Hybrid Biological Nutrient Removal (HBNR)
Aquatec Maxcon's proprietary Hybrid BNR process combines the benefits of extended aeration with biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal in a compact configuration. The process uses two hydraulically linked treatment tanks, incorporating aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic treatment zones to provide effective nutrient removal and excellent settling characteristics.
Hybrid BNR package plants offer:
Aquatec Maxcon's has over 600 installations worldwide.
IDAL & IDEA Package Plants
IDAL and IDEA are proven intermittent treatment processes that use alternating aeration, settling and decanting phases to treat wastewater.
IDEA treatment operates through sequential aeration, settling and decanting cycles, allowing biological treatment and solids separation to occur within the same system. The process can facilitate nitrification and denitrification without requiring conventional secondary clarifiers.
These systems provide a robust and practical solution for regional and remote communities where simple, reliable and cost-effective wastewater treatment is required.
With more than 55 years’ experience in intermittent package solutions across regional and remote communities, Aquatec Maxcon delivers practical treatment solutions supported by engineering, manufacturing and ongoing operational capability.
Our wastewater portfolio includes various types of intermittent systems (Hybrid BNR, IDAL and IDEA) and other biological wastewater treatment technologies, enabling treatment solutions to be selected around the requirements of each application for nutrient removal levels and water recycling.
