Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater and Disposal
We have solutions suitable for wastewater treatment applications both industrial and municipal. We offer clean air technology suitable for all your needs. Our machines bring high energy efficiency and a low total cost of ownership.
Reliability and Efficiency is Key for Low Cost of Ownership
Up to 70% of the energy consumption in a wastewater treatment plant is used for aeration. It is important to keep energy costs down in order to keep total operational costs low. Here at Chicago Pneumatic, we are committed in keeping your operational costs down. We do this by offering one a efficient and reliable machine.
Reducing the Environmental Impact of Wastewater Treatment
It is increasingly important for efficient water management due to scarce availability of resources and the rising financial pressure. When counting on air supply to keep the bacteria alive during the treatment process, oil contamination is not desirable. This is the reason why we have oil-free solutions.
Global Installed Base
We have sales and service network around the world and service thousands of compressed air installations throughout the world. We ensure your equipment is always working at peak efficieny and downtime is limited.
Applications
Diffused aeration
As bacteria can't survive without oxygen, a continuous oil-free supply is important for the quality of your wastewater treatment process. As the wasterwater supply can vary during the day it is crucial for your installation to handle a variable air flow demand.
Filter backwashing
Backwashing refers to pumping water backwards through the filter. Oil-free air prevents filter media from becoming dirty and unusable. This is a form of preventive maintenance so that the filter media can be reused.
Aerated lagoon
An aerated lagoon is a treatment pond that promotes biological oxidation of wastewaters. The diffused aeration system's efficiency has a direct impact on the quality and level of wastewater treatment that the lagoon achieves.
Activated sludge process
Air and microorganisms are used to biologically oxidize organic pollutants, producing waste sluge containing oxidized materials. In order to avoid contamination to the water, the air in conventional activated sludge systems must be oil-free.
Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR)
SBRs are activated sludge processes designed to operate under non-steady state conditions. Operated in true batch mode with aeration and sludge settlement in the same basin. During the aeration phase, airflow is diffused in the tank. Fixed speed units ensure emergy consumption is much lower to generate a competitive cost advantage.
Membrane bio-reactor (MBR) systems
A version of the conventional activated sludge system where solid and liquid separation is done by a membrane (micro or ultrafiltration). Resulting in advantages for process control and product water quality but high energy consumption and intensive bio treatment process.
