Cutter pump goes the distance
A new high-pressure cutter pump for long distance pumping of heavily contaminated liquids has been developed by Landia.
The unit also creates a high velocity plume of water that carries both dissolved and dissolving oxygen into the main body of the process basin.
Easy to install and without the same building or safety constraints as traditional liquid storage, this Landia/Air Products combination reduces the volume of gas leaving the surface of the treatment basin by approximately 99%.
This gives a dramatic reduction in the levels of VOCs and odours originating from the basin.
High treatment rates of up to 10kgCOD/m3/day can also be achieved, as well as benefits to be gained in shock-load resistance and improved efficiency from this new oxygen-enhanced system.
This new approach to oxygen-based aeration technology for wastewater treatment plants gives operators all the flexibility, reactivity and process assurance of oxygen-fed processes, but with only the capital and operating costs of conventional aeration.
