The wastewater aeration treatment process is an aeration system that removes dangerous substances from effluent water to minimize their impact. It is an ideal cleaning solution to ensure the wastewater from industrial and municipal plants is safe enough to be released back into the environment.
Process Design
Aeration systems are directly responsible for introducing oxygen to wastewater. They also ensure the air and water are properly mixed to encourage an efficient biological treatment process. While all aeration systems share a common goal in wastewater treatment, using systems that meet your facility’s specific needs is essential for a successful aeration process. The wastewater aeration process usually involves these components:
Primary Screening
This is otherwise known as the grit removal phase. The wastewater is passed through screens of varying sizes to filter out leaves and other solid waste.
Equalization (EQ) Tank
After the primary screening, the wastewater travels to the primary sedimentation or EQ tank, in which microorganisms naturally decompose the organic waste.
Clarifying Tank
After going through the EQ tank, the wastewater is sent to the clarifying tank, also known as the “settling tank.”
Tertiary Filter
While wastewater is often safe enough to be reintroduced into the environment after clarification, this component can be utilized to remove more total suspended solids.
Benefits of Wastewater Aeration Systems
Aeration is the most efficient form of wastewater treatment across industries for various reasons:
Reliability
The wastewater aeration system is reliable, ensuring plants can release wastewater safely into the environment.
Familiarity
Since aeration is one of the oldest wastewater treatment systems, it is familiar to those working in the wastewater industry.
Versatility
The wastewater aeration system offers flexibility for handling various types of loads.
Diffusers
Diffusers are essential for aeration systems. SSI Aeration, Inc. offers reliable fine bubble diffuser design through several products, including:
- Fine Bubble Disc Diffusers – Fine bubble disc diffusers from SSI Aeration, Inc. bring together the best in engineering, components and design to improve efficiency. Their performance and durability make them indispensable in municipal and industrial installations across the globe. SSI Aeration, Inc. builds reliability into every stage of fine bubble disc diffuser performance to improve your experience.
- Fine Bubble Tube Diffusers – Most tube diffusers are built on round pipe. When the membrane is inflated, the inside of the membrane sticks to the pipe. SSI’s channel pipe provides small air pathways all the way to the end of the diffuser. This creates a uniform bubble pattern across the whole length of the diffuser.
- Fine Bubble Plate Diffusers – SSI Aeration’s Fine Bubble Plate Diffuser is made with advanced manufacturing technology under strict ISO-9001:2015 quality control standards. It provides a uniform bubble pattern from end to end and side to side, providing users with very high oxygen transfer efficiency at an affordable cost. SSI plate diffusers have been accepted worldwide by operators and engineers.
Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) Wastewater Treatment Systems
A moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) with a smart design can provide better cost-effectiveness than membrane bioreactor or activated sludge plants. MBBR process design services from SSI Aeration help wastewater treatment plants improve their efficiency. SSI’s MBBR systems save money in plant construction, operation and maintenance.
