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.
An Italian-Palestinian-Israeli initiative has devised a US$526 million general solution for this problem using cutting edge wastewater treatment technology. The first step in this program is pilot project that will establish a wastewater treatment plant in the Palestinian town of Uja. The pilot project is underway, and the technology chosen for the plant was developed by the Israeli company Mapal Green Energy. One of the company’s greatest advantages is that its technology does not require complex systems or high costs. Mapal offers a unique floating fine bubbles aeration system that enhances the delivery of oxygen into the wastewater.
Mapal recently launched three new and improved units: the CNM 10 with a capacity of 120 m3/h, the CNM 12 with a capacity of 180 m3/h, and the CNM 11 with a capacity varying from 300 to 450 m3/h. These new units serve as a solution for small wastewater treatment plants that still require a large quantity of oxygen.
