Fine bubble aeration saves up to 70 percent in energy consumption
An Italian-Palestinian-Israeli initiative worth US$526 million will provide sewage treatment in the Palestinian territories. Part of this major project begins with a pilot plant in Uja that will use Mapal’s floating fine-bubble aeration system instead of mechanical surface aerators. The new technology could save up to 70 percent in
energy consumption and up to 80 percent in maintenance costs, and can be used in municipal and industrial biological reactors with no need for a concrete basin or draining prior to installation.
