Two-years on from installation in June 2022 aerdisc® continues to impress with zero downtime.
aerdisc® replaced equipment with extremely low oxygen transfer efficiency and exceptionally high-power consumption. It also proved unreliable, expensive to maintain and prone to ragging.
The original system consisted of fifteen diffused air bubblers, arrayed around the edge of the two ponds. Each unit was fitted with two side-channel blowers. The total energy consumed by the thirty blowers was 93kW!
The bubblers were unable to lift the DO above 0.2mg/L, even with all 93kW in operation.
By comparison, five 7.5kW aerdisc® aerators, with a total energy of only 37.5kW, easily meet the oxygen demand with capacity to spare.
Within 24-hours of the first aerdisc® starting in Pond 1, the DO climbed to 2.5mg/L. After the second unit came online the DO jumped to 5mg/L and continued to rise until control was introduced.
