Why choosing wastewater equipment provides a better option

Making sure that you have all of the right wastewater equipment is key. After all, the best wastewater equipment ensures that your property is clear from any extra water, and there is no risk of flooding. This is where choosing the right equipment for your specific needs is key. Learn more about why choosing wastewater equipment provides a better option for your water removal, and how to support your water treatment systems.

Know your needs

The first step in choosing equipment from the right wastewater equipment manufacturers is having a thorough understanding of your personal needs. Different commercial and residential properties have vastly differing needs, with a vineyard having vastly differing drainage and wastewater needs to a farm or even a sewage treatment plant. Wastewater treatment systems are highly specialised to ensure that every commercial property retains the water it needs and moves all unnecessary water away from the site to a location where it can’t cause issues. Learn what you need from your water and then focus on delivering that in the most effective way possible.

Irrigation or wastewater?

One of the most challenging questions for anyone in an agricultural environment is distinguishing between water for irrigation and looking after crops, and wastewater that would cause more harm than good. By using systems such as surface aerators and completing the sewage treatment process on your property you can ensure that you clear out any unnecessary water whilst providing the right amount of irrigation to keep your crops working to the highest possible standard.

Supporting the environment

When you deal with the sewage and wastewater your property produces, there is one thing that you need to consider. Looking after the environment is an increasingly important aspect of our day to day lives, with more and more people becoming aware of the impact we have on the world around us. By using an environmentally conscious wastewater management system, you eliminate the risk you pose to the world around us. You play a key role in protecting the world around us and ensure that there is no unnecessary pressure on your local environment that harms the wildlife or worsens the health of the flora.

Use a bespoke solution

Every company has a different set of needs for its wastewater solutions. Just some of the varying factors include-

  • Volume of water- The amount of wastewater coming through the system on a consistent basis.
  • Composition of water- How hard or soft the water is and the mineral composition of the water.
  • Consistency of flow- Whether the water flows in one consistent stream or there are several surges throughout the day.

Each factor is important to consider, and choosing the right wastewater equipment prevents any of these factors from reducing your efficiency.

How do Wastewater Aerators Work?

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.
