Where to go to rent an aerator for a sewage treatment plant

Wastewater aeration is an essential process that allows for the aerobic biodegradation of pollutant components in your sewage treatment plant. It’s important to clean and maintain sewage treatment plants on a regular basis to prevent contaminants from causing future problems.

We recommend cleaning your treatment plant every 6 to 12 months to remove any solid waste that builds up over time. However, many individuals neglect aeration duties because of the cost-benefits of buying an aerator. Aerators are a costly investment, especially when you consider the fact that you only use them around twice a year. What’s more, aerators can be difficult to store.

For this reason, it makes more sense for DIYers to rent a surface aerator rather than buy one. There are some factors to consider when determining where to go to rent an aerator, including:

  • The quality of the equipment
  • Rental costs
  • The integrity of the company

By-Jas is the leading provider of wastewater treatment technology in Australia and there are several reasons why you should choose us for aerator rentals. Some of these reasons include-

If you’re wondering how wastewater aerators work, you’re not alone. Many people don’t know much about aerators or the role they play in sewage treatment. This blog post will discuss how aerators work, and why they are such a vital part of the sewage treatment process.

What are aerators?

Aerators are devices that introduce air into wastewater, so wastewater aeration is a process of using aerators to mix air and water. This process provides dissolved oxygen to the water, helping to remove odours from the water, and to break down organic matter. This process is vital because it helps to remove harmful bacteria and other contaminants. Aerators come in many shapes and sizes, but all operate with the same aim.

Why do we need aerators?

Since nutrient-rich wastewater significantly impacts the relationship between living things and their surroundings, governments enforce regulations to control the number of contaminants in wastewater discharge. These rules stipulate that all liquid waste producers, whether residential, agricultural, commercial or industrial, must treat wastewater.

Types of aerators

There are two types of aerators: surface aerators and submerged aerators. Surface aerators float on the water’s surface and use paddles or propellers to create turbulence and mixing. Submerged aerators are placed below the water’s surface and use diffusers, impellers, or propellers to create bubbles that rise through the water and help aerate it.

Surface aerators have, over time, been the subject of intensive development, with their primary application being in the treatment of wastewater through activated sludge. The primary factor in the design of these devices is naturally their ability to transfer oxygen to water efficiently. A surface aerator creates a large surface area between air and liquid to facilitate oxygen diffusion.

Types of surface aerators

There are two main types of surface aerators: diffused aeration and mechanical aeration. Diffused aeration works by bubbling air through a diffuser, breaking the bubbles into tiny droplets. This process adds a lot of oxygen to the water and is very efficient. On the other hand, mechanical aeration uses paddles or impellers to mix the air and water. This type of aeration is less efficient than diffused aeration, but it is still an important part of the sewage treatment process.

When implementing diffused aeration, more oxygen is added to the water, which helps break down the organic matter present in it. This process can also eliminate harmful bacteria and other contaminants from the water, making it safe for human use. Wastewater aerators are a vital part of the sewage treatment process.

Wednesday 21 September

We’ve got great news from our Incident Management Team – the Shepparton Wastewater Management Facility has returned to normal winter operating levels, and odour is no longer being released from the aerated lagoons.

With that, its been recommended to close out the IMT this week and we’ll be working on some wider communications materials to inform the community about our progress and success in returning the plant to normal.

We’re seeing a continuing downward trend in the levels of organic load leaving the High Rate Anerobic Lagoon, which is the primary treatment lagoon at the facility. It’s returning to levels we normally see in winter, close to 100mg/L, which we’re really happy with, and shows the lagoon’s treatment performance has stabilised and is working well. We’re also seeing temperatures begin to increase in the lagoon, and continuing warmer weather will create more optimal treatment conditions.

You can see the trends in the 14-day average graph below. Under optimal treatment processes, the gap between the orange and blue lines should be as large as possible.

We’ve also seen more key areas in our key performance indicators turn green over the past two weeks. There are still a few yellow ones, but we’re confident they’re very close to turning green in the near future as well.

These indicators show key data we’re looking at during wastewater sampling in the main treatment lagoons, including pH levels, alkalinity levels, VFAs (volatile fatty acids), the VFA to alkalinity ratio, as well as dissolved oxygen and organic loading – all are important in ensuring the wastewater treatment process works as best it can.
