Aerzener Maschinenfabrik GmbH applications
As market leader in the field of water treatment, AERZEN has developed trend-setting concepts that support plant constructors, engineers and operators of wastewater treatment plants in areas such as the selection of technology, increasing efficiency, process safety, data analysis, digitisation, conserving resources, increasing productivity and much more. Summarised under the term AERwater, we offer a holistic solution approach with finely tuned service module via a tight linkage of hardware, software and comprehensive services.
The economic efficiency of modern wastewater treatment plants is significantly influenced by the energy consumption of the various process steps during wastewater treatment. The energy-intensive process of biological aeration is a particular focus of attention in this regard: around 60 to 80 percent of the total energy requirement is generated here. At the same time, wastewater tank aeration offers great energy-saving potential that can be exploited by operators of wastewater treatment tanks.
According to a study by the German Environment Agency , wastewater treatment plants are responsible for around 1% of Germany`s total electricity consumption. What initially sounds like a very small percentage, however, offers a highly attractive savings potential from the point of view of individual wastewater treatment plant operators. One typical example of the savings potential in wastewater treatment plants is tank aeration. For example, state-of-the-art blower technologies and demand-driven control technology can energetically optimise the energy-intensive process of tank aeration and significantly increase a treatment tank`s economic efficiency with comparatively little effort.
Water treatment is undergoing a profound transformation and is gaining in importance worldwide. Water is an increasingly scarce commodity. Particularly in poorer countries, it is not available in sufficient quantities. Bottlenecks are becoming more and more severe due to growing demand on the part of industry, agriculture and energy generation. Although problems such as water scarcity are of limited relevance here in Germany, a responsible, resource-saving approach to water is an important issue for the future. Water treatment plays a key role in the subject of water availability. Around 80 percent of waste water worldwide still goes untreated , though in many cases, treating it would be technically possible. In the long term there is therefore considerable potential for significantly reducing the level of consumption of water by industry.
Biological treatment in the aeration tank is not only the key stage in prevalent wastewater treatment processes, it is also the most energy-intensive. If operators want to improve the energetic balance of their wastewater treatment plant, optimising the aeration in the aeration tanks gives them a large amount of design leeway. The correct dimensioning of the aerators, the selection of the appropriate technologies and the intelligent data-guided control of the operation in the aeration tank are therefore the focus when it comes to plant construction. Energy consumption and emissions can be significantly reduced through integrated planning in new project planning and refurbishment.
Water is a precious commodity. To protect our natural waters and to support drinking water production, all wastewater is therefore first cleansed of containments and pollutants before it is returned to the water cycle. To treat the water and to achieve the best possible, natural water quality, different processes are used. Generally, the treatment of wastewater can be divided into two basic types . Firstly, problematic substances are removed from the water. This is done with cleaning, iron removal, manganese removal, sterilisation, desalination or softening. Secondly, substances are specifically supplemented to improve the quality and influence parameters such as pH value or conductivity.
In the era of Industry 4.0, automated machine regulation has come to play an increasingly important role in waste water management. Digital control systems depend on measurement values that are constantly recorded by sensors and have become significantly faster, more accurate and more precise than a manual control system could ever be. AERZEN control technology offers a wide range of options and implements optimal automated machine control, including for third-party products. There is tremendous potential for savings, both for decentralised individual systems and smart global control systems. AERZEN control systems are easily integrated into existing plants or machines and immediately facilitate demand-driven operation at all times.
The pneumatic transport of bulk materials should be fast, gentle and with minimal energy expenditure. A clear task for real specialist. Oil-free roots blowers, screw blowers and screw compressors from AERZEN can handle any kind of transport need. With unparalleled efficiency and reliability. Versatile, Efficient and Reliable: Our products Delta Blower, Delta Screw and Delta Hybrid are powerful universal geniuses: The smallest units can be mounted on silo vehicles.
