Aquasystems International NV was asked to investigate mixing of a large existing tank at Horwich WwTW as part of the upgrading of the Works to meet increased levels of treatment in AMP 6. The aim was to use the mixers to improve the nitrification process.
Solution
Aquasystems supplied eight 2.2kW Type MIX-GS Aquaturbo submersible mixers, and also undertook installation and commissioning of the new systems.
The Aquaturbo MIX-GS were chosen for several reasons:
They operate at a much lower speed with significant energy savings
Require minimal maintenance
Can be installed in situ without having to stop the process or empty the tanks
Outcome
Horwich WwTW treats effluent locally from the town and surrounding areas and the expected payback for the Anoxic Mixers on investment is less than 12months.
Testimonial
A spokesperson for JR Bentley said that the all parties involved were extremely impressed with the performance of the Aquaturbo submersible MIX-GS units during the initial installation, and this has resulted in orders for the mixers to be installed at additional Unitied Utilities plants.
