Does an air compressor need to be used for sewage treatment?

Application analysis of air compressor in sewage treatment

1. Demand for compressed air for sewage treatment
During the sewage treatment process, compressed air is a key auxiliary power source and is mainly used in the following aspects:

  • aeration system: Inject air into biochemical treatment tanks (such as activated sludge method) to provide oxygen for microorganisms and promote the decomposition of organic matter;
  • Pneumatic equipment control: Drive valves, pumps and other equipment to realize automatic adjustment of the process;
  • sludge treatment: Stir the sludge with compressed air to prevent deposition, or use it for pretreatment before sludge dewatering.

2. Technical adaptability of Granklin air compressor
Thanks to its oil-free and stable characteristics, Granklin water-lubricated single-screw air compressor can meet the special requirements for compressed air for sewage treatment:

  • Air purity: Water lubrication technology avoids lubricating oil pollution, ensures that the air output by the aeration system is free of oil, and prevents negative effects on microbial activity or treated water quality;
  • operation stability: The continuous gas supply capacity adapts to the long-term stable oxygen supply needs of the aeration tank, reducing the decline in treatment efficiency caused by pressure fluctuations;
  • Corrosion resistance and low maintenance: There may be humid and corrosive gases in the sewage treatment environment. The sealing structure and corrosion-resistant materials of Granklin air compressor can extend equipment life and reduce maintenance frequency.

3. Typical application scenarios examples

  • municipal wastewater treatment plant: Provide oil-free compressed air for the biochemical reaction tank to ensure microbial degradation efficiency;
  • industrial wastewater treatment: Drive the pneumatic stirring device to prevent sludge hardening and improve treatment uniformity;
  • sludge drying: Reduce water content by compressed air-assisted sludge transfer or hot drying process.

conclusion
Granklin water-lubricated single screw air compressor effectively supports the core process of sewage treatment through oil-free and stable supply of compressed air, helps improve treatment efficiency and water quality compliance rate, and is an ideal air source solution in the field of sewage treatment.

Why should the air compressor start the cold dryer first?

The main reasons for the air compressor to start the cold dryer are as follows: 1. remove compressed air moisture the air compressor compresses the air and raises its temperature during operation. High-temperature compressed air contains a large amount of water vapor. If it is directly transported to the gas-using equipment, it will not only […]

Does the oil-free air compressor need drainage?

The oil-free air compressor also needs to be drained. The working principle of an oil-free air compressor is mainly to compress the inhaled air through mechanical components such as pistons, screws or turbines, and then output it as high-pressure gas. During this process, since the air itself contains water molecules (especially in humid and rainy […]

Air compressor cooling water requirements

The requirements for cooling water of air compressors usually include the following aspects: 1. Water quality requirements Clean and free of impurities: The cooling water should not contain suspended substances, silt, sand, oil and other impurities to prevent blocking the cooling system, affecting the cooling effect, and even damaging the equipment. Moderate pH: The pH […]

Which is better, screw compressor or scroll compressor

In the selection of compression equipment, screw and scroll compressors each have their own technical characteristics and application advantages. The specific selection needs to be combined with actual gas demand and scene characteristics. The screw compressor achieves air flow through the rotary motion of the screw and the star wheel (or twin screws).
