Advantages and Disadvantages of Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment vs Aerobic
The principal advantages and disadvantages of anaerobic wastewater treatment, when compared with the aerobic equivalent processes, are listed and then discussed below. Advantages of Anaerobic Treatment Less energy required Less biological sludge produced Lower nutrient demand Methane production: Providing a potential energy source with possible revenue both from the sale of the energy and benefit […]
Wastewater Treatment Sludge Mixing Improvements Raise Plant Efficiency
Wastewater Treatment Sludge Mixing Case Study: Landia the leading producer of specialist water treatment pumps, mixers, aeration systems and advanced processes, has drastically lowered sludge disposal costs and is saving valuable landfill space at a large WwTW in the US. In the words of the Superintendent of the Sewer Authority: “The Landia mixers have been […]
How Ultrasonic Disintegration of Sewage Sludge Improves Wastewater Treatment Plant Biogas Outputs
Sewage sludge is notoriously slow to digest. Ultrasonic disintegration provides an environmentally responsible way to improve biogas output. Unsurprisingly wastewater treatment works biogas plant operators have been first to adopt ultrasonic disintegration. As the technology becomes further developed there is no reason why the AD industry won’t also adopt it’s use for other similarly slow […]
