Optimization of Energy Consumption in Wastewater Treatment Plants
The main operating cost of a wastewater treatment plant is represented by energy consumption, particularly that associated with the aeration system.
For this reason, proper monitoring of the air system is essential to detect any anomalies and maintain high levels of operational efficiency.
Pressure monitoring: a key indicator
To ensure consistent performance over time, it is essential to regularly monitor the air line pressure.
At plant start-up, it is important to record the initial pressure value: this data serves as a fundamental reference point for all subsequent checks.
Signs of system inefficiency
A progressive increase in pressure may indicate the presence of scaling or clogging of the diffuser pores, resulting in higher energy consumption.
When pressure exceeds 100 mbar, preventive cleaning operations are recommended in order to restore optimal operating conditions.
