Optimization of Existing Waste water Treatment Plants |
There are many reasons to optimize a existing waste water treatment plant. For instance, the volume and concentration of inflow might have changed over time or it might have become necessary to minimize energy consumption or operating resources. Aqua Care Engineering assists you in optimizing your waste water treatment plant and develops individual waste water concepts

Basis for Optimization |
Examining the hierarchy of objectives is an important step when optimizing waste water treatment. It is because this serves as the basis for developing the right concept for changing the parameters of the entire treatment plant. The results of optimization are always tailored to your exact individual needs. |
Process of a Plant Optimization |
1. Objective analysis and inventory 2. Understanding substance dynamics 3. Prepare draft concepts for optimization 4. Generate optimization concept 5. Planning and engineering 6. Realization 7. Verification of results and final report |
Sample Options to Optimize a Waste water Treatment Plant |
There is no “one-size-fits-all” concept for optimizing a waste water treatment plant. A solution always needs to be a project oriented and developed on-site. There are, however, typical key characteristics, which usually render a complete new construction unnecessary. Improved aggregates for better oxygen supply |
Oxygen Supply |
Implementing measuring probes to control oxygen levels completes the optimization phase by allowing demand-oriented aeration. Even though the cost for ventilation in a biological waste water treatment plant with activated sludge process is usually only a small fraction of its entire investment expense, it often provides a significant potential for optimization. Is your plant still operating on classic turbo compressors? If so, you could be passing on the opportunity to save up to 25% in energy costs! Using magnetic bearing turbo compressors or speed-controlled rotary compressors will significantly increase the energy efficiency of your biological waste water treatment plant. |
Plant Optimization by Changing Water Hydraulics |
Relying on out-dated waste water technology often causes unfavorable flow conditions. |
