OUR SPECIALTY / MODULAR WASTEWATER TREATMENT
FAST—Factory-built, Assembled, Steel, Tank—is a modular construction platform for wastewater treatment plants. Factory-fabricated steel panels, supports and fittings are packed for compact transport, then bolted or welded on site to the project design.
WHY FAST
Move fabrication into the factory and coordinate the treatment process, modular structure and site assembly from the outset.
Factory fabrication can progress alongside site preparation. Prepared panels and planned connections reduce on-site fabrication and can shorten construction compared with conventional concrete tank construction, bringing the plant to commissioning sooner.
Integrated compartments, shared walls and tank heights up to 6 metres make practical use of vertical space. Coordinated layouts can reduce land requirements while preserving operation and maintenance access. Final height depends on structural design, process requirements and site conditions.
Efficient process selection, coordinated hydraulics and demand-based control of pumps and blowers can reduce operating energy. Savings come from the complete treatment design and operating strategy, rather than modular construction alone.
MODULAR TECHNOLOGY · REFERENCE BENCHMARKS
Savings shaped around your project. Final savings are established during design against an agreed conventional alternative with equivalent capacity, treatment targets and scope.
THE MODULAR CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM
Factory-fabricated steel panels are supplied in standard module sizes with the jointing components, supports and fittings required by the design. Panels, partitions and reinforcement are coordinated around the selected process and hydraulic profile.
SS304, SS316 and coated carbon steel are selected according to wastewater chemistry, exposure and lifecycle requirements.
Panels and components are packed to reduce transport volume, rather than shipping every tank as a complete enclosure. Bolted or welded site connections follow the approved structural and installation design.
Lifting requirements, foundations, access, inspections and the assembly sequence are coordinated before delivery.
Earlier construction completion can bring commissioning forward. Biological start-up remains dependent on the selected process and operating conditions.
PROCESS FLEXIBILITY
FAST can accommodate equalization, biological treatment, clarification and other selected stages. A/O, A²/O and MBR arrangements are engineered around influent characteristics and discharge or reuse requirements.
Additional modules and parallel treatment trains can support growing capacity. Future connections, foundations, utilities and access can be planned from the outset.
YORA coordinates the tank platform with process equipment, piping, controls and agreed site services. Final dimensions, delivery programme and performance commitments follow the confirmed design basis.
TECHNOLOGY & CONFIGURATION
The modular platform is the starting point—not a fixed treatment recipe. Process tanks, internal partitions and stiffening are designed together with aeration, mixing, solids separation and controls.
Anoxic and oxic zones support denitrification, organic removal and nitrification.
An anaerobic stage is added where biological phosphorus removal is required.
Biological treatment and membrane solids separation support compact layouts and low-turbidity effluent.
THE FAST MODULAR PLATFORM
Process modules, interconnections and access are coordinated around the treatment duty and site layout.
ENGINEERING & FABRICATION

PRELIMINARY SELECTION
Published ranges support initial selection. Final equipment, dimensions, materials and performance commitments follow the confirmed project requirements.
| Design band | Capacity, m³/day | Typical arrangement |
|---|---|---|
| Compact | 10–100 | Single compact module |
| Small | >100–500 | Single or parallel modules |
| Medium | >500–2,500 | Parallel process modules |
| Large | >2,500–10,000 | Multi-train modular plant |
| Multi-train | >10,000–40,000 | Phased treatment trains |
| High / mega-scale | >40,000–100,000+ | Engineered parallel-train architecture |
These are whole-plant capacity bands, not the capacity of one tank. Process volumes, train count, footprint and guarantees follow the actual wastewater and required effluent quality.

FAST EXPLAINED
FAST stands for Factory-built, Assembled, Steel, Tank. It is a modular tank-construction platform engineered around the treatment process, rather than one fixed treatment technology.
Tank panels and components are fabricated in the factory and assembled on site. This shifts substantial work away from site construction and allows fabrication to progress alongside site preparation. Foundations and other civil works are still designed for the project.
The platform can accommodate equalization, anoxic and aerobic treatment, clarification and other selected stages. A/O, A²/O and MBR configurations are selected around the wastewater characteristics and discharge or reuse targets.
Yes, where the process is designed for the specific wastewater. Industrial streams may require pretreatment, chemical conditioning or treatability assessment before biological treatment. Flow, composition and variability determine the treatment train.
The indicative portfolio spans 10 to more than 100,000 m³/day across compact systems and parallel treatment trains. These are whole-plant capacities, not the capacity of a single tank. Tank volumes and train count follow the design duty.
SS304, SS316 and coated carbon steel are available. Material grade and coating systems are selected for wastewater chemistry, corrosion exposure, temperature and project requirements.
Either method can be used according to the approved design. Connection details, joint sealing, inspection and testing requirements are coordinated with structural loads and installation conditions.
Factory-fabricated panels and components are packed for compact transport, with jointing components, supports and fittings supplied to the agreed scope. Shipment sizes and unloading arrangements follow the delivery and assembly plan.
Tank heights up to 6 metres can be considered. The selected height depends on structural verification, process depth, hydraulic levels, ground conditions and access for operation and maintenance.
The site needs the specified foundations, safe access, lifting arrangements and agreed utilities and pipework interfaces. Foundation loads, layout, assembly sequence and inspection requirements are coordinated before delivery.
Factory preparation and coordinated site assembly can shorten construction. The actual schedule depends on capacity, module count, connection method, site readiness, delivery and the agreed scope. YORA develops the programme around the project design.
Additional modules and parallel trains can support planned expansion. Relocation may be feasible for bolted arrangements, subject to the connection design, component condition, disassembly method and suitability of the new site. Welded arrangements require a separate assessment.
The displayed percentages are published benchmarks for the modular technology. Project-specific savings are assessed against an agreed conventional alternative with equivalent capacity, treatment targets and scope. Construction duration, land area and operating energy are compared separately.
Energy performance depends on process selection, hydraulic design, equipment efficiency and controls matched to operating demand. Aeration, pumping, recirculation and membrane duties are assessed for the selected treatment train.
The layout must retain the access needed for inspection, equipment removal, cleaning and safe operation. Shared walls, integrated compartments and greater tank height can reduce land requirements without making maintenance clearance an afterthought.
Mechanical completion brings the plant to testing and commissioning. Biological processes may also need seeding, acclimation and stabilization before reaching the agreed operating condition. This is included in the commissioning plan.
Requirements depend on the selected equipment and process. The operating plan covers tank and connection inspections, coatings where applicable, pumps, blowers, instruments and treatment equipment, with access and maintenance intervals defined in the handover documentation.
Reuse is possible when the complete treatment train is designed and validated for the required reuse standard. Additional filtration, disinfection or other polishing may be needed for the intended use.
The agreed package can include the modular tank platform, selected process equipment, piping, instrumentation and controls. Supply boundaries, civil works, utilities and site services are defined in the quotation.
Installation, commissioning and operation are available in Jordan, Iraq and the UAE. Installation supervision and commissioning are available in other countries, according to the agreed scope.
Provide average and peak flow, available wastewater analysis, discharge or reuse targets, site location, plot dimensions and required delivery programme. Include utilities, site constraints and the installation scope where known.
