Less volume in aeration tank –> energy consumption down
The aeration process is one of the most important parts of the water treatment process at Industriewater Eerbeek (IWE). Due to the closure of one of the 3 paper factories, the water treatment plant is too large to handle the amount of waste. In order to quickly switch to a reduced basin, a sustainable semi-permanent solution was worked out after a joint brainstorm between Albers Alligator and IWE. The content of the aeration tank was reduced by 60% by installing screens. The length and depth of the basin have been retained. This maintains the oxygen input and significantly reduces energy consumption.
Would you also like to get together to see if we can reduce the oxygen consumption at your water treatment plant? Please contact us.
