IC Technology: A High-Efficiency Solution for Industrial Wastewater Treatment

With the increasing demand for efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment solutions, Internal Circulation (IC) anaerobic reactor technology has emerged as a superior choice for handling high-concentration industrial wastewater. As a leader in environmental engineering, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel) provides advanced IC reactor solutions, delivering high treatment efficiency, low operational costs, and sustainable environmental benefits.

What is IC Technology?

The Internal Circulation (IC) reactor is a new-generation high-rate anaerobic bioreactor designed to treat high-strength organic wastewater efficiently. It consists of multiple functional zones, including:

Mixing Zone – Where influent wastewater and anaerobic sludge are thoroughly mixed.

Primary Anaerobic Zone – Facilitates the degradation of organic matter into biogas.

Secondary Anaerobic Zone – Further enhances organic matter breakdown.

Sedimentation Zone – Separates solid particles from treated water.

Gas-Liquid Separation Zone – Extracts and collects biogas for reuse.

Key Advantages of IC Reactor Technology

1. Exceptional Treatment Efficiency

IC reactors achieve over 85% organic matter removal efficiency, making them ideal for high COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) wastewater treatment. They outperform conventional anaerobic reactors due to enhanced mass transfer and internal circulation.

2. Compact Design & Reduced Footprint

The vertical structure of IC reactors enables them to have a smaller footprint than traditional anaerobic reactors like UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket). This makes them highly adaptable to urban environments where land availability is limited.

3. Energy-Efficient & Cost-Effective

IC reactors operate with a self-adjusting internal circulation system, minimizing energy consumption and significantly reducing operational costs. Additionally, the production of high-purity biogas provides a renewable energy source, further lowering expenses.

4. Robust Performance & Stability

IC reactors are highly resistant to shock loads and fluctuations in wastewater characteristics, ensuring stable and consistent treatment performance for industrial facilities.

5. Sustainable & Environmentally Friendly

By converting organic pollutants into valuable biogas, IC reactors help industries reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower sludge production, and meet stringent discharge standards.

Application of IC Technology in Industrial Wastewater Treatment

IC reactors are widely used in industries that generate high-strength organic wastewater, such as:

Brewery & Beverage Industry – Efficiently treats wastewater with high organic loads.

Pharmaceutical Industry – Removes complex organic compounds and residual chemicals.

Pulp & Paper Industry – Addresses wastewater with high COD and fiber content.

Food Processing Industry – Treats wastewater rich in fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.

Chemical Industry – Manages wastewater containing hazardous organic pollutants.
