Process Optimisation

Working in the wastewater treatment industry since 2002, we have developed a number of tried and trusted approaches to process optimisation that are applicable to any treatment process.

With leading technical expertise our teams evaluate all types of wastewater activated sludge aeration processes including diffused air fine and course bubble blown air systems, media based surface area blown air systems, jet aeration and mechanical surface agitation  applications. We can advise on relative benefits /disadvantages for existing and new design systems with scenario operational cost assessments and maintenance considerations. Our team provide, through on site measurement and design analysis, best practice advice on air supply system plant control sequencing and control guide vane/valve setting optimisation as well as local temperature environmental controls and set points.

In addition to energy carbon reduction and cost savings significant process performance  improvements can and have been realised on large and small sites from 10,000 to  1,000,000 population equivalent (p.e.). Specifically key quality areas have been ammonia  reduction, odour suppression and reduced sludge volumes leading to reduction in biosolids  treatment/disposal costs.

Our services include, project scoping, blower testing and control optimisation, DO monitoring, targeting and optimisation, data collection reporting and presentation, solution  identification, system enhanced design, project implementation, project and program  management, on-site and client bespoke training, design reviews and due diligence,  quantified benefits reporting through process and plant sub metering.

Benefits Realisation

We have a proven track record in the water, wastewater , commercial and industrial market sectors managing over £2 Million of capital investment during the previous and current Asset Management Plan (AMP) periods with payback s of <1 year being realised as a the norm. As  companies consider ever increasing requirements to reduce costs and carbon Air Technology is ready  and able to deliver both savings and water process treatment quality today for future  sustainable operations.
