Cost-effective operation of wastewater treatment tank

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.

Water treatment in the future

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.

Optimum planning in plant construction

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 stages of water treatment

The basic processes of waste water treatment

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.

Control technology

Convenient, safe and effizient control

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.
