For years, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have used pressure-based control strategies. Now that high-quality thermal mass flow meters can be obtained for a reasonable cost, many wastewater treatment plants are discovering flow-based blower and valve control strategies are better suited to their needs than pressure-based control strategies.
Without an appropriate control strategy, even the best wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) equipment can struggle to deliver maximum efficiency. Energy costs represent up to 60 percent of WWTP plant operating expenses. The following checklists, plus important Do’s and Don’ts, can help in identifying an underperforming control strategy and developing a better one.
By following the actionable strategies outlined in this guide, operators can expect enhanced blower efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and improved overall performance. Gain the confidence to address potential issues before they escalate, resulting in minimal downtime and prolonged equipment life.
Inflation is causing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) expansion projects or greenfield installations to take longer, cost more, and go way over budget. This article offers strategies that can mitigate the impact of inflation, reduce risk, and keep projects as close to on schedule and within budget as possible.
The city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, selected cutting-edge, high-efficiency turbo blowers for a secondary wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), allowing them to both save a significant amount of money on energy costs and also realize additional benefits not available from common blower technology.
