The Benefits
What benefit provides TAT-IntelliClean® to the wastewater treatment plant?
Even today, many wastewater treatment plants are still operated on the basis of empirical values. The activated sludge stage is either “controlled” according to fixed time cycles, or the aeration intensity is manually adjusted on the basis of measured values.
With the aid of a patented process, the TAT-IntelliClean® is able to reliably recognize the completion of denitrification and nitrification as a function of the load conditions at wastewater treatment plants.
Aeration in a nutshell: Considerable savings in energy and costs are possible as a result of the targeted use of the diffusers, since the aeration phases last only precisely as long as the current biological load requires.
As a result of the optimum day and night aeration, TAT-IntelliClean® achieves an evening-out of the discharge values to a low level at wastewater treatment plants. The treatment plant can be purified at a lower level. This reduces the annual wastewater levy and allows the financing of desired investments from the refund of the wastewater levy in the last 3 years in accordance with §10, para. 3 of the German Wastewater Act (AbwAG).
