Floating aerators hired for Yorkshire Water STW refurb
Aquasystems International NV provided four 55kW AER-AS Aquaturbo floating aerators from its extensive hire fleet to Yorkshire Water for use during a major refurbishment of two of the existing aeration lanes at the Mitchell Laithe STW works, as part of the AMP 7 programme
Yorkshire Water carried out a major refurbishment of two of the existing aeration lanes at the Mitchell Laithe STW works, as part of the AMP 7 programme.
Two of the existing aeration lanes were refurbished which necessitated the complete closure of each lane for diffuser cleaning or replacement.
As the work was to take place over a number of months, the operating aeration lanes required additional oxygen in order to cope with the works’ flow.
Product supplied
Aquasystems International NV initially provided four 55kW AER-AS Aquaturbo floating aerators from its extensive hire fleet.
The units were installed together with electrical control panels and cabling, all provided by Aquasystems.
Outcome
The aerators have been used to support the existing activated sludge plant and the units have been run almost continuously to enhance the existing plant.
Additionally, the amount of oxygen provided by the aerators ensured that de-nitrification was minimised, reducing the risk of rising sludge in the settlement tanks.
All parties involved are extremely pleased with the performance of Aquaturbo floating aerators during this extensive refurbishment programme at The Mitchell Laithe Treatment works. The works has met its consent due to the additional aeration capacity provided by Aquasystems International NV.
