Avoiding The High Costs Of Aeration Inefficiency

Knowing that aeration requirements consume 50 to 60 percent of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) energy bill is one thing. Knowing exactly how and when to tweak aeration output to optimize activated sludge process efficiency with minimal energy waste is an entirely different story. Here are several key considerations on using precise air-flow measurement to reach that sweet spot with greater consistency and cost-efficiency.
