class=\"wysiwyg\">\n            \n                                  <p>The M-Tad process is a controlled aerobic digestion process that utilises a mechanical thickener and a minimum of two aerobic digesters combined with a membrane thickener (MBT) and optional anoxic basin. Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) is pumped into the MBT and permeate is extracted through the membranes with a low suction pump. A mechanical thickener then thickens the sludge up to 4 percent solids. Once thickened, the sludge passes through the aerobic digesters that operate in series. The first stage digester forms a recycle loop with the MBT and optional anoxic basin that allows the digested sludge to be continuously thickened while undergoing both nitrification and denitrification. This is where the majority of the volatile solids reduction (VSR) occurs. When the maximum liquid level in the In-Loop Digester is reached, the addition of sludge to this tank will cause a corresponding overflow of sludge to the second stage tanks where the sludge remains until it meets pathogen removal required for class B compliance. The sludge is then transferred out of to be dewatered or for final disposal.<\/p>\n\n                                                                                              <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n                                                                        <\/div>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div><!--accordion-content-1-->\n                                                                                                                        <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                                                        <div class=\"anchor-nav-content__tab otablecontent-3\" id=\"pills-related\" name=\"pills-related\">\n                    <div class=\"container\">\n                        <div class=\"row\">\n                            <div class=\"col-12\">\n                                <div id=\"accordion-pills-related\" role=\"tablist\" aria-multiselectable=\"true\">\n                                    <div class=\"card\">\n                                        <div class=\"card-header\" role=\"tab\" id=\"section1HeaderId\">\n                                            <h2 class=\"mb-0\">\n                                                <span class=\"anchor-nav-content__tab--title\" data-parent=\"#accordion-pills-related\" href=\"#accordion-content-related\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"#accordion-content-related\">\n                                                Related Products\n                                                <\/span>\n                                            <\/h2>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                        <div id=\"accordion-content-related\" class=\"in collapse show\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"section1HeaderId\">\n                                            <div class=\"card-body\">\n                                                <div class=\"anchor-nav-content__tab--content\">\n                                                    <div class=\"anchor-nav-content__tab--related-products\">\n                                                                                                                <div data-block_0f0077a18fe4471994bda11f76fa8cb4 class=\"ovivo-content-block block-tiles-images__wrapper my-3 my-lg-5\">\n            <div class=\"row mobile-scroll justify-content-lg-center\">\n                                                                                    <div class=\" col-10 col-md-8 col-lg-3 owrelateprod-sec-1\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovivowater.com\/en\/product\/airbeam-cover-aeration-system\/\" target=\"\" class=\"generic-tiles__single\">\n                                <div class=\"generic-tiles__single--image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.ovivowater.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Airbeam_735X551_002.jpg)\"><\/div>\n                                <div class=\"generic-tiles__single--content\">\n                                    <div class=\"generic-tiles__single--title\">\n                                        Airbeam<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Cover Aeration System\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"generic-tiles__single--description\">\n                                        The Airbeam Cover Aeration System is an innovative technology for aerobic digestion tanks that allows easy access for maintenance.
