Upgrade of networks / Energy saving

In PRIME ENGINEERING we have the experience, the know-how and the people who guarantee the high performance and longevity of any of your investment

Wastewater aeration  networks for example are very well known as sources of high energy consumption in the industrial process they belong to.

Our involvement in  blowers of different energy efficiency level and our deep knowledge in aeration membrane diffusers’ performance, allows us to be in the position to propose to you several ways to drastically reduce your energy bill and maintain a highly efficient compressor or aeration system. 

Upgrade of wastewater aeration systems

Treating wastewater requires a lot of energy. The main energy consumer at water purification plants is the aeration system, causing some 70% of the total energy bill.

• High energy consumption is caused by several reasons:
• Fouled and blocked diffusers that have exhausted their lifetime
• Poorly designed air distribution network leading to high pressure drop and energy loss
• Most important of all, poorly dimensioned diffuser layout, with low efficiency diffusers installed at small numbers, too low density and too high airflow.

By selecting our highly efficient Oxyflex plate diffusers at an appropriate dense layout and by designing a low pressure loss distribution network we can help you save between 20 and 50% of your aeration energy costs!

Your investment pays for itself after just one to two years.

Investing in greater aeration efficiency always makes sense, and the Supratec OXYFLEX® MF 1100 system can be installed in any wastewater treatment plant.

Moreover energy cost can be reduced by a further 20-40% by using new generation of energy efficient blowers in combination with smart control systems adapting the operation to the actual oxygen needs.
