Grid system highlighted by Sludge dewatering kit Xylem at global exhibition unveiled at German fair disrupt the wastewater treatment process. The grid is a cost-efficient alternative to constructing a parallel treatment train.
Xylem reports show success at IFAT.
Xylem launched a retrievable aeration grid system, offering improved aeration efficiency in wastewater treatment plants, at IFAT 2014. The company demonstrated its Sanitaire Eco-lift retrievable aeration grid that utilises Sanitaire Gold and Silver Series diffusers, reducing both the capital and life cycle costs associated with aeration systems, at its stand at the show The grid is designed with the diffusers mounted on structural frames which can be lifted out of the basin for easy inspection and maintenance without having to
The Eco-lift retrievable aeration grid uses a patent-pending ‘tube-in-tube’ design which requires significantly less steel as ballast to keep it under water than alternative products. This lowers the cost of the product by up to 50% and results in higher and faster return on investment. In addition, Sanitaire Gold and Silver diffusers offer the highest Oxygen Transfer Efficiency (OTE) and mechanical reliability when compared to tubular diffusers, mechanical aerators or other types of aeration systems, saving wastewater treatment plants millions of dollars over their life span. The system is suitable for both municipal and industrial wastewater applications. www.xyleminc.com
WFEA backed at May global gathering Grundfos showed new optimised water solutions for a range of water supply and wastewater applications at IFAT. At the event, the company revealed it is continuing to develop the Well Field Energy Audit (WFEA), and discussed how recent pilot programmes in Germany have shown the substantial energy savings potential that WFEA makes possible. WFEA is a tool for optimising operation and energy consumption for groundwater intake, with a documented savings potential from reduced energy consumption. Experience has shown that up to 50% of all the savings in energy consumption that can be made in a municipal water supply are at the well field. www.worldpumps.com
New optimised water solutions from Grundfos.
For drinking water distribution, Grundfos Demand Driven Distribution packages pumps, intelligent components and system surveillance to build pressure management solutions designed to minimise water losses, reduce energy consumption and minimise operational costs. The Demand Driven Distribution controller is connected to network pressure sensors via the wireless network. www.grundfos.com
Andritz has launched new sludge dewatering equipment for wastewater treat plants, industrial plants and food applications. The Andritz C-Press, a screw press, has a direct drive system and conical shaft with constant screw pitch. The new press can handle inlets from 1 to 23 m3/h and outlets from 50 to 800 kg DS/h. In addition to a long lifecycle, the press also has bi-sequential cleaning giving 30% less water consump-

tion than comparable equipment. The C-press complies with all European Union regulations on such issues such as safety, hygiene and environmental protection. Andritz has also launched its TurboJet weir plate, a power recovery system for decanters. The weir plate, guides the liquid discharge from the centrifuge in the opposite direction to the bowl rotation. Adjustable nozzles form a jet that creates a reaction force in the same way as a jet engine’s exhaust and recovers the kinetic energy from the liquid. This extra force has the effect of enhancing bowl rotation and reduces main drive power consumption without affecting actual separation performance. www.andritz.com
Summer KTD launch on show at Munich fair Tsurumi revealed its new KTD pump - an agitator version of Tsurumi’s cast iron pump from its KTZ series – at IFAT 2014. The pump, featuring a 2 kW and 3 kW motor, will be released to the European market in August this year. The company’s stand also displayed four live demonstrations including its new TLD-series compact aerator – a diaphragm aerator designed for aerating wastewater in compact wastewater treatment plants. The aerators are also suitable for aerating clear water in aquaculture, fish farms and aquariums. The compact unit offers quiet operation, low energy consumption and excellent durability. Other demonstrations at the event consisted of a KRS pump – an agitator pump for pumping muddy, sandy water – originally designed for dewatering construction sites but now used in sewage
plants to empty sediment in treatment tanks. A TRN aerator, a mechanical aeration machine sold to sewage treatment plants in the industrial waste water sector, was operational and a LSC pump used in many applications and nicknamed the ‘puddle sucker’ because it pumps water down to a level of 1 mm was displayed. Five cross-section samples are available, showing the inside structure of Tsurumi’s pump technology. www.tsurumipump.com/
