01 / The product

What is SUSBIO IONTREAT?

SUSBIO IONTREAT is an advanced electrochemical effluent treatment plant (ETP) engineered for high-strength industrial and commercial wastewater — particularly where conventional biological systems fail or are impractical. Kitchen effluent, food processing wastewater, and similar streams contain emulsified oils, detergents, refractory organics, and fluctuating loads that overwhelm biological processes. IONTREAT handles them in 30–60 minutes using electricity, not bacteria.

The core is a proprietary integrated reactor combining Electro-Fenton (EFn), Electro-Coagulation (EC), Electro-Oxidation (EO), and Electro-Flotation (EF) — four electrochemical mechanisms in a single compact unit. Pre-treatment removes coarse solids and free oil. Post-treatment uses DAF for solid-liquid separation and UF membrane for final polishing to reuse grade. The entire SUSBIO equipment scope arrives as a skid — civil tanks are by the buyer's contractor to SUSBIO's supplied drawings.

03 / How it works

10-stage treatment.30–60 minutes. CPCB-compliant.

IONTREAT replaces the sprawling multi-tank biological ETP with a linear 10-stage electrochemical train. Each stage is precisely engineered — HRTs measured in minutes, not hours.

🔲
Stage 01

Bar Screen

Coarse food particles, plastics, and debris removed before reaching downstream units. Prevents pump and reactor fouling.

Pre-treatment
🛢️
Stage 02

Oil & Grease Trap

Gravity separation removes free-floating fats, oils, and grease (FOG). Reduces O&G load by 40–60% before electrochemical treatment.

Disinfection + Reuse

Optional hypochlorite dosing for stored treated water. Outlet safe for gardening, flushing, and floor washing.

Final polishing

Inside the Electrochemical Reactor — Four Mechanisms, One Unit

The AGEIO EC cell integrates four electrochemical processes simultaneously, treating what biological systems cannot.

Electro-Fenton (EFn)

Fe²⁺ + H₂O₂ → •OH radicals degrade refractory organics, surfactants, and complex molecules. Breaks down emulsified oil that gravity traps miss.

Electro-Coagulation (EC)

Electrode dissolution releases Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ which hydrolyse to metal hydroxides. Destabilises colloids, adsorbs dissolved organics, and forms dense flocs.

Electro-Oxidation (EO)

Electrode surface generates reactive oxygen species. Partially oxidises dissolved COD, reduces colour, and provides supplementary disinfection effect.

Electro-Flotation (EF)

Cathodic hydrogen microbubbles attach to EC flocs, increasing buoyancy. Rapidly floats and separates generated flocs — no sludge settling required.

04 / Why not biological?

Electrochemical vs conventional biological ETP.

Biological ETPs are the default — but for kitchen wastewater with emulsified FOG, detergents, and fluctuating loads, they routinely fail. IONTREAT's electrochemical process was designed precisely for these conditions.

08 / Why SUSBIO IONTREAT

Eight reasons it is asked by name.

IONTREAT was engineered specifically for the gaps that conventional biological ETPs leave open — oil & grease, shock loads, fast start-up, and minimal footprint.

01

No biological sludge

Electrochemical process generates inorganic sludge only — no active biomass to maintain, no sludge return, no bulking, no foaming.

0 bio
02

Immediate start-up

Switch on and treat. No 2–4 week biofilm establishment. Critical for commercial kitchens with immediate compliance deadlines.

Day 1
03

30–60 min HRT

10× faster than biological systems. Enables compact civil tank design — equalisation and storage volume fits in 4–5 KL of civil tanks.

30 min
04

Breaks emulsified O&G

Electro-Fenton hydroxyl radicals attack emulsified fats and oils that gravity traps and bio-treatment cannot separate. O&G outlet < 2 mg/L reliably.

<2 mg/L
05

Handles detergents

Commercial kitchen wastewater is heavily contaminated with surfactants. EFn/EO degrades them without biomass inhibition or foaming.

EFn/EO
06

3m × 5m footprint

The entire SUSBIO skid for a 10 KLD unit fits in 15 m². Can be placed directly on top of the equalisation tank, eliminating additional civil footprint.

15 m²

14 / FAQ

Questions buyers ask before ordering IONTREAT.

Direct answers from SUSBIO engineers. Call us for anything not covered here.

What is SUSBIO IONTREAT?
SUSBIO IONTREAT is an advanced electrochemical effluent treatment plant integrating Electro-Fenton (EFn), Electro-Coagulation (EC), Electro-Oxidation (EO), and Electro-Flotation (EF) in a proprietary AGEIO reactor, followed by Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) and Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane polishing. Designed for commercial kitchens, food processing, pharma, textiles, and vehicle washing where biological ETPs fail. Available 10 KLD to 1 MLD.
What industries is IONTREAT suitable for?
Commercial kitchens and canteens, restaurants and hotels, food processing and dairy, pharmaceutical and chemical facilities, textile and laundry, vehicle washing stations, hospitals, and centralised ETPs (CETP) for industrial parks. Any application with high COD, oil & grease, colour, or surfactants.
How is IONTREAT different from a conventional biological ETP?
Biological ETPs require 8–24 hours HRT, 2–4 weeks bacterial seeding, extensive civil works, and struggle with emulsified oil, detergents, and fluctuating loads. IONTREAT's electrochemical process treats effluent in 30–60 minutes, starts immediately, requires only a 3m×5m skid footprint, handles shock loads stably, and produces no biological sludge. The trade-off is higher O&M cost (~₹38–45/m³ vs ₹15–25/m³ for biological) — justified for high-strength streams where biological treatment is unreliable.
What effluent quality does IONTREAT deliver?
Typical outlet: COD <50 mg/L · BOD <10 mg/L · TSS <10 mg/L · Oil & Grease <2 mg/L · pH 7.5–8.5 · Faecal Coliform <20 MPN/100 mL. Meets CPCB norms for inland surface water discharge. Suitable for toilet flushing, gardening, floor washing, and other non-potable reuse under NGT 2019.
What does the IONTREAT system price include?
The price (e.g., ₹9,95,000 for 10 KLD) includes: 4 EC cells (AGEIO), fractal flocculator, MS skid, DAF unit, 6 dosing pumps & tanks, 2 FRP buffer tanks, transfer pumps, filter feed pumps, UF backwash pump, semi-automatic controller, 3 UF modules (PVDF), all piping & valves inside battery limit, 10 days startup chemicals, and ITC (installation, testing, commissioning). Not included: civil tanks, electrical incomer, freight, and GST @ 18%.
What civil and infrastructure requirements does the client need?
Client provides: Civil tanks — equalisation tank (5 KL for 10 KLD), filter feed tank (~4 KL), treated water tank (~8 KL), and sludge drying beds (2 × 0.75 m²). Electrical — single-phase 240V AC ±10%, 50 Hz, 5 kW feeder with earthing. Other — fresh water line for UF backwash, shaded space (3m × 5m) for the SUSBIO skid, operator access. SUSBIO provides all civil design drawings at time of order.
What is the O&M cost?
For a 10 KLD unit treating commercial kitchen wastewater: chemical cost ₹10.49/m³ + electricity cost ₹28.17/m³ = total ₹38.67/m³ (~₹387/day). Actual costs depend on influent quality and are finalised during commissioning. Acetic acid for UF CIP cleaning is occasional, not daily.
How long does delivery take?
6 weeks from receipt of a technically and commercially correct purchase order with advance payment. Site installation and commissioning takes an additional 5–7 days. Civil tanks (by client's contractor) should be ready by week 5 to enable immediate installation on equipment arrival.
What warranty do I get?
12 months from date of delivery against inherent manufacturing defects. Warranty on electrical and electronic items as provided by original manufacturer. Free service and technical support for the initial 12 months (transport and accommodation by client). Annual maintenance contracts (AMC) available after warranty period.
Can IONTREAT treat pharma or textile effluent?
Yes, with appropriate characterisation. Pharmaceutical effluent (APIs, antibiotics, solvents) and textile effluent (dyes, surfactants, high COD) both benefit from the Electro-Fenton and Electro-Oxidation mechanisms. A site-specific design is prepared after SUSBIO receives influent quality data. For very high-strength streams (COD > 5,000 mg/L), a multi-stage system or pre-treatment may be required.
