Until 2012, the Kaufman, TX, Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) operated two separate aeration basins with mechanical surface aerators. As the plant’s equipment aged and required more frequent and expensive repairs and maintenance, the City of Kaufman followed its engineering firm’s recommendation to install a new, more efficient, fine bubble-diffused air system rather than simply replacing its old mixers with in-kind equipment.
When the Jacksonville, Florida Naval Air Station needed to increase oxygen in their aeration basins, they turned to RWL Water. Five submersible HURRICANE aerators provide bottom-up mixing, drawing surface air and dispersing it in a 360-degree pattern near the basin floor. Long bubble hang time results in excellent oxygen transfer, and ensures excellent BOD and ammonia removal, treating flows up to 3 MGD.
Wastewater treatment lagoons were originally facultative in design — shallow, single and multi-cell lagoon systems that counted on wind, sunlight, anaerobic bacteria, and time for the digestion of the organic components of the wastewater.
As part of an ongoing effort to improve efficiency and lifecycle costs across all of its projects, a Municipal Utilities Board in Albertville, Ala., set out to upgrade solids handling at the WWTP and pursue Class A biosolids certification, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designation for dewatered and heated sludge that contains low levels of pathogens.
Aeration is the heart of most industrial and municipal wastewater treatment and we have a new, cutting-edge solution.
System controls are critical to a wastewater blower system. Without them, a system with multiple blowers operating on their individual controls will run more than necessary and result in wasted energy. Maintenance costs increase and worst of all: process performance suffers.
Atlas Copco’s ZS+ VSD blowers balance the two key prerequisites when choosing a blower: reliability and energy efficiency. Integrating the proven benefits of screw technology, the ZS+ VSD reduces energy costs by an average of 30% when compared to lobe technology. But that’s not all. The ZS+ VSD offers 100% oil-free air – TÜV-certified according to ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2010) – which is absolutely essential to avoid contamination and keep your production running smoothly. The ZS+ VSD is supplied as a state-of-the-art, ready-to-run package with completely integrated VSD convertor and proven Elektronikon® controller.
Atlas Copco's low pressure ZB 100-160 VSD blowers guarantee a continuous, highly reliable, energy-efficient and 100% oil-free air supply - certified according to ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2010). These blowers are directly driven by a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which is vastly superior to conventional types. Moreover, the unique stainless steel backward lean impeller has integrated labyrinth seals which lead to high efficiency and minimal air leakage. The ZB 100-160 VSD is supplied as an all-in-one, ready-to-run package with a small footprint. Vibration and noise levels are low, resulting in an agreeable working environment for your operators.
The Com-paK is uniquely designed to minimize space requirements and reduce installation costs.
