Anglian Water cuts aerator energy use in half with variable-speed drive
A
sewage treatment works operated by Anglian Water has halved its aerator energy costs, reduced maintenance and cut ammonia to almost zero levels following the installation of an ABB variable-speed drive. The drive was installed on a 4 kW sewage aerator at the Swallow unmanned treatment works in Lincolnshire. Barley approached ABB, Anglian Water’s framework partner for variable- speed drives. Following a site survey by ABB’s Authorised Value Provider, Inverter Drive Systems,
an ABB machinery drive, ACS355, was
recommended. The drive’s internal timer outputs signals to switch the motor on and off and to alter the frequency to achieve different speeds at different times. Anglian Water is now planning to introduce the ABB drive solution to three other small sewage treatment works.
