Clarifiers – WWTP
ASM sonic wave technology (ultrasonic based oxidation) offers the possibility for efficiency gains in the process of treating waste water, reducing the chemicals needs of the process whilst simultaneously increasing the performance of all traditional and current procedures.
Our engineers and partners have designed our products for your individual needs and purposes. We have researched over the past decade and continue to research and develop our sonic devices with client involvement as the pinnacle driver for achievement..
The clarifier is another important location where we could realise excellent benefits by installing of ASMP-1000 systems are well suited for secondary and/or advanced treatment in municipal or industrial applications to control algae.
ASMP series provide a multifaceted approach to algae control in water treatment while maintaining an ecologically friendly approach. In addition, installations have shown that elements such as total suspended solids, nitrates, phosphates and chloride/chemical use can be reduced
Green and filamentous algae is coursing some major problems during the treatment process in warmers month and increase of sunlight we began to notice that the algae which grows on our secondary clarifier and accumulate on the racks of the UV light tubes. with in a few months the problem became so bad that we had to pull the lights out of the channels at least once per week to clean off the algae. In addition, we cannot even manually brush the secondary clarifier weirs and channels as we had done in previous years, because the debris would immediately clog the UV light tubes at the next process ( picture below)
The Benefits
- Significantly reduces time in or near the treatment equipment performing cleaning maintenance
- Increase treatment flows
- ASMP equipment can be locally programed to suit different process applications needs
- Increase the effectiveness of chlorine -ozone-uv treatment and will be reduced the chlorine cost significantly.
- Environmentally friendly as there are no pollutants associated with this method of removing algae and filamentous weeds.
- Existing filamentous algae and common green algae die off. The resettlement will be minimized over short time so water clarity-quality will improve
- Low power cunsumption 240 Vac and minimal maintenance required.
- Retro installation by locale electrician no tank changes such as bolt head removal,baffle bracket replacement or walkway support remove
Wastewater Application
Wastewater is any water that has suffered in quality by human intervention. Often, waste water is being treated for re-use as drinking water or for other purposes. As high levels of nutrition are available in these waters, algae may grow rapidly as well as other micro-organisms such as bacteria. Algae can compete for nutrients against the bacteria in charge of sludge reduction and can also clog complete systems. uses the newest ultrasound techniques to remove the threat of algae from wastewater treatment plants and reclaimed water reservoirs.
A research project executed to study the effect of ultrasound in the treatment of wastewater was the Chem-Free project.
Briefly, some of the results achieved in waste water applications using the ultrasounds systems are:
• Strong reduction in algae concentration (± 90% reduction of chlorophyll-a)
• Reduction of bio-film formation
• Reduction of TSS, turbidity, BOD, COD levels etc.
• Reduction of free bacterial counts (E. coli, Enterococci etc.)
• Reduction of fouling and other growth on clarifiers .Ultrasound vibrations make it more efficient for bacteria present in the sludge to obtain nutrients, and speeds up the utilization of nutrients, accelerating the degradation of organic waste and the consumption of nitrate and phosphates.
• Secondary effect, improvement of the gloiride UV/ozone performance in elimination of microorganisms
Irrigation
Water used for irrigation can contain high levels of nutrients. Some of these nutrients are beneficial for the plants watered, but they can also lead to extensive algal growth. Algae in irrigation tanks can clog the irrigation system and can also be spread over the irrigated area. In addition, some types of fungi (e.g. Pithium, Fusarium and Phytophthora), which can also be present in these waters, can be harmful for the plants being cultivated. Therefore, the quality of water in an irrigation system can be critical to the performance of a nursery.
The overall results obtained when applying the ultrasounds systems to irrigation were:
• Strong reduction in algae concentration (about 94% reduction)
• Reduction of bio film formation
• Reduction of TSS, Turbidity, BOD, COD levels etc.
• Reduction of total aerobic bacterial counts.
• Reduction of fungus (Lithium, Fusarium and Phytophthora) concentration
• Reduction of iron and sulfur related problems (conserving irrigation network system).
Which system do I need?
It is fundamental for a successful installation and operation of an ASMP ultrasonic sonic system for the under water targeted area. Depending upon the flow, volume, sises and the location of transducers this project will determine which of our manufactured product wil suit .
