Aeration for wastewater treatment
Advanced monitoring solutions help optimize aeration in wastewater treatment and further save energy costs
Aeration in wastewater treatment accounts for approximately 60% of the total energy consumption in wastewater treatment plants. Energy consumption is the main cost driver in wastewater treatment, and its optimization is one if the many challenges faced by plant operators also having to meet ever more demanding safety legislation. Our online oxygen and nutrient measurement solutions not only drive energy savings in aeration control, they enable demonstrable improvements in biological processes.

Reduced ammonium levels
The first step in nitrogen removal is nitrification. This requires close monitoring of the degradation of ammonium and represents a significant cost factor, as this type of liquid analysis often requires the addition of further substances to enable measurements.
Our expertise in the field
Our reliable, easy to use and durable technologies for measuring ammonium concentration throughout nitrification enable the operator to react early to ammonium level disturbances.
- Integration of reliable sensors such as our digital ammonium and nitrate Memosens sensor ISEmax CAS40D to optimize the treatment process
- Rely on high-precision ammonium measurement in all critical control points using Liquiline System CA80AM
- Further optimized life cycle costs due to lower maintenance and fewer consumables in treatment processes
