Blower System Integration For Wastewater Aeration Applications

The overall wastewater treatment process is complex, and each step is integral to ensuring water is properly purified. Effluent ends up in the plants, containing substances that must be removed before the water can be properly cleaned and returned for use. Afterwards, the water requires further scrubbing, with the aid of bacteria. It is in this part of the process that compressed air plays a vital role.

Is There A Better Way To Screen Wastewater Flows?

Of all the challenges wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) face, screening debris from the flow at the headworks is one of the first encountered. Until recently, that has involved choosing one screen size to accommodate both average and peak flows or installing two different screen sizes. Water Online spoke with Duperon Product Manager Bryce Funchion to discuss the possibilities of a new way to get the best of both worlds.

Combining Biosolids Waste Streams? Not So Fast…

The idea of combining two systems into one sounds like a common-sense solution to simplifying operations.  Wastewater treatment plant operators have been experimenting with this concept by combining waste activated sludge with primary and septage waste streams with the goal of lowering system complexity.  The reality of these efforts is proving, in many cases, to be problematic.

Rightsizing Blower Installations For Optimum Performance

In regulated wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) environments, which require 100 percent blower system redundancy to satisfy the most extreme operating conditions, it can be easier to meet demanding physical thresholds than it is to refine energy performance to the ideal minimum. Here are some guidelines for covering all the bases — estimating the potential payback of balancing blower type, size, and turndown capacity while making the evaluation exercise worth the effort.
