HYBRID AERATOR

In general, wastewater treatment plants and their respective aeration equipment have a minimum life span of 20 years. Less than 10% of the life-cycle costs or total cost of ownership during this period consists of capital cost, while upwards of 90% are costs relating to operating expenses. For a typical wastewater treatment plant, the vast majority of the operating expenses are energy cost, the minority being maintenance costs. So a decrease in total life-cycle costs should be centered on reducing the operating expenses. Considering that the aeration process can typically consume 50% of its total energy consumption, aeration efficiency improvements are the most impactful step to reduce your electricity bill. Focusing on the areas with the greatest potential for improvement will yield the greatest savings.
