Wastewater treatment bubbles better with open automation
Describes how the small California city of Atwater saves money on wastewater treatment through innovative technology, integrated controls, and energy management. The system uses an open automation network that can communicate with the facility-wide network and machine control system. The new system combines high oxygen transfer and mixing efficiency with low installation and operating costs. The equipment, resembling an inverted helicopter with its rotating blades acting as air diffusers, creates small air bubbles by natural bubble shearing. The bubbles improve oxygen transfer throughout the entire aeration basin. The city reported significant improvements, including enhanced dissolved oxygen control, complete mixing of the activated sludge basin, and safer, easier maintenance.
