“Transforming Hospital Wastewater: ZOLTECH’s Expertise in STP Rehabilitation and Capacity Expansion”

ZOLTECH Water Solutions Inc. is currently rehabilitating the hospital’s underperforming 25 CMD SBR system and upgrading it to a 50 CMD Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) setup. This ongoing project will double the treatment capacity while addressing space constraints, ensuring the hospital achieves reliable performance, compliance, and long‑term sustainability once completed.

Rehabilitating and Upgrading Hospital Wastewater Treatment: FDPS Hospital

Hospital wastewater treatment requires precision, reliability, and compliance with strict standards. Yet, not all systems deliver on these expectations. At FDPS Hospital, the existing 25 CMD Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) system had been installed three years ago by a different contractor. Unfortunately, the system never performed as intended, leaving the hospital with operational challenges and compliance risks.

Recognizing the need for a dependable solution, the hospital partnered with ZOLTECH Water Solutions Inc. to rehabilitate and upgrade the facility’s sewage treatment plant (STP). This ongoing project is designed to double the treatment capacity from 25 CMD to 50 CMD while introducing a more practical and efficient Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) setup.

From Concept to Execution

ZOLTECH’s approach to this rehabilitation project is built on three pillars:

Concept: Transitioning from the underperforming SBR system to a 50 CMD MBBR design, chosen for its compact footprint and robust biological treatment — ideal for hospitals with space constraints.
Engineering: Redesigning the process flow, integrating biofilm carriers, and optimizing hydraulic and mechanical layouts to ensure stable nutrient removal and reliable operation.
Execution: Comprehensive rehabilitation works — mechanical, electrical, and civil — are being carried out with precision, ensuring the upgraded system will deliver consistent performance once commissioned.

Why ZOLTECH Was Trusted

The hospital entrusted ZOLTECH with this critical upgrade because of our proven ability to transform non-performing systems into reliable assets. Unlike the previous installation, ZOLTECH’s expertise ensures:

Capacity Expansion: Doubling treatment capability from 25 CMD to 50 CMD.
Performance Assurance: Delivering effluent quality that meets regulatory standards.
Practical Design: Tailored to the hospital’s limited space.
Sustainable Operation: A system engineered for long-term reliability and compliance.

Setting a New Standard

This ongoing rehabilitation project demonstrates ZOLTECH’s strength in conceptual design, engineering precision, and execution excellence. By upgrading the hospital’s STP, we are not only solving immediate challenges but also setting a new benchmark for wastewater treatment in healthcare facilities.

Where the previous system failed, ZOLTECH is delivering a solution that will ensure compliance, efficiency, and sustainability for years to come.

The ZOLTECH Commitment

At ZOLTECH Water Solutions Inc., we believe every project is an opportunity to set new benchmarks in wastewater treatment. Our work at FDPS Hospital demonstrates how engineering precision and practical design can turn challenges into success stories.
