Aeration Equipment

Triplepoint Environmental Ares Lagoon Aerator

The Ares Lagoon Aerator from Triplepoint Environmental combines aeration efficiency with turbulent mixing in a single, portable unit. It has a rugged, precision-machined solid hub with no seams to crack or leak. The coarse bubble static tube draws up to 7,800 gpm of water and liquefied organic matter from the floor to keep solids in suspension and prevent sludge accumulation. Diffuser Quick Connect ensures rapid, reliable installation of high-efficiency, self-cleaning fine-bubble diffusers. Independent testing demonstrates standard oxygen transfer of up to 2.4%/ft or 4 to 7 lb/O2 per horsepower hour, translating to up to 60% energy savings. Its high negative buoyancy ballast is 30% lighter out of the water for easier installation and maintenance. Attached to an onshore blower via laterals or individual air lines, it has no moving parts in the water and simply drops in from the surface for lagoon upgrades without downtime. 800-654-9307; www.tpenv.com

Sequencing Batch Reactor

Evoqua Water Technologies OMNIFLO SBR MAX

The OMNIFLO SBR MAX system with Jet Tech technology from Evoqua Water Technologies combines the benefits of a true-batch SBR with those of a continuous fill batch reactor process to treat wastewater influent flows to over five times design. The system optimizes hydraulic handling during storm flows, reduces equipment sizing and cost, and can trim energy costs over 15%. At low flow rates, the system operates in the True-Batch mode, and during peak flow events, the system automatically switches to operating as the GoFlo Continuous Fill Batch Reactor to dissipate peak flows and slash hydraulic overflow rates. It allows for the treatment of storm flows while maintaining excellent effluent quality. Quiescent settling is preserved at all flow rates up to storm flow. Influent velocity dissipation prevents sludge disturbance and short-circuiting. There is no need for additional EQ basins or oversized reactor basins. Simple automated controls make necessary adjustments easy. www.evoqua.com
