WavTex™

WavTex is a next generation moving woven media system using Entex’s patent pending EnTextileTM media in Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS) and Submerged Fixed-Film (SFF) systems. Independently moving EnTextile media sheets continually wave in the aeration basin in a random motion, ensuring excellent oxygen and substrate transfer.

WavTex is an excellent solution for existing activated sludge plants that need more advanced treatment. Because no additional tankage is required, WavTex is ideal for plants with limited room for expansion. It is also a perfect choice for space efficient, high performance new plant designs.

WavTex incorporates a non-fouling aeration system integral to the module base to provide film scour and additional system aeration if needed.

WavTex means simultaneous nitrification and denitrification within a single tank

The structure of the EnTextile media facilitates nitrification at its oxygen-rich surface and denitrification within its anoxic interior where the oxygen has been depleted, all within a single aerated tank. This allows total nitrogen control within a single aerated tank, representing a significant cost savings compared to dual tank systems.

WavTex means simplicity

WavTex requires no media retention or drain screens and can be used with existing fine bubble diffuser grids for maximum energy efficiency and minimum retrofit costs.

WavTex means versatility

Unlike traditional moving media systems, WavTex second generation moving flex media can be used effectively in both fine bubble and coarse bubble systems, without the need to remove existing efficient fine bubble diffuser systems.

Increase capacity & biomass

WavTex moving flex media provides extensive surface area for additional fixed biomass. The attached biomass population can more than double the effective MLSS concentration. The vigorous motion of the EnTextile media in the aeration basin provides a high shear on the EnTextile media surface.

Eliminates screening

Never worry about plugging of retention screens. The WavTex system also allows for a broader range of tank dimensions, since the system eliminates the potential for media “bunching” at the back end of long basins.

High performance media

Developed based on over 20 years of experience using attached growth media for wastewater treatment, EnTextile media provides high biomass surface area designed to create optimum conditions for substrate and oxygen transfer while maintaining biomass control.
