How Sewage Treatment Plant Vendors Are Responding to Growing Water Demand

The issue is that sewage plant vendors are not able to keep up with demand for water. Water demand is continuously growing with the ever increase of the population. With industrialization, urbanization etc. Throughout the world the amount of water demand throughout the world is growing enormously. By 2030, there will be a 40% shortfall in water in the world, with this forecast the world will run out of water. Sewage plant vendors now implement a generation of new innovative technologies and green operations and integrated solutions for treatment, aiming at maximizing water recovery returning them to the environment in ecologically sound manner. These are now the key aspects in field of environmental protection; Qingdao Yimei Environment Project Co., Ltd. Is leading in this aspect having spent over 30 years on environmental protection equipment design and fabrication.

Developing Water Recycling and Reuse Solutions

The current 'treatment for disposal' methods are being transformed to 'treatment for re-use' methods. High level treatment technologies like 'membrane bio reactors' (MBRs) and 'reverse osmosis' (RO) are progressively being implemented at Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) to treat effluents to high standards for non-potable purposes. For example industrial cooling water, irrigation and landscaped green spaces in cities.

Recycling this water both saves the volume of fresh water and amount of treated waste water discharged, both aspects being beneficial for the environment. Industrial users would significantly reduce their use of fresh water and obtain improved water security. Municipal users would have a delayed investment in the production of potable water supply equipment and at the same time reduce their demand for potable water supply. Yimei is now producing lamella clarifiers and screw dehydrators as key components of this recycle plants, efficiently separating solids and utilizing an advanced sludge treatment together with the screw dehydrator so to avoid treatment within the system on down stream locations. Vendors can provide their clients with a twenty 24/7 ready solution at marginal cost investment.

Adopting Energy-Efficient and Low-Carbon Designs

A high operational cost in sewage treatment plants and a significant amount of carbon emission created during waste water treatment is causing concerns to the world. In response to this vendors now apply equipment with low energy consumption, green operations and low carbon emissions. New innovations applied to aeration technology, such as 'fine bubble diffusers', with sophisticated process controls combined with a highly accurate automation allow for reduction of the air usage of 20-30%. Biogas generation methods also exist including anaerobic digestion to achieve on site electricity production for plant operations and for stabilization of sludge. At Yimei its Screw Dehydrator machine saves energy through low electricity consumption during drying compared with conventional dryers. Low energy operation means lower cost and carbon foot print to the client.

Integrating Automation and Smart Technologies

The digital era brought innovation in wastewater treatment industry. Automation, data analysis, remote monitoring capabilities and information systems added to existing technologies to maximize operational efficiency and to reduce the dependence on manpower. Smart sensors and real time monitoring system would feed continuous data to clients on treatment efficiency of the system. Machine failures can be predicted using data analytics, hence maintenance costs and down time will be drastically reduced. Remote monitoring enables observation of several sites from a central location, thus expertise can be easily offered on worldwide scale, which would prove beneficial to smaller municipal wastewater treatment facilities with limited staff. Yimei's team of 72 technicians and engineers apply high levels of engineering and applied science with latest technologies in smart system and automation for the entire wastewater treatment plant,

Expanding Service Models and Technical Support

The current situation requires vendors to also integrate supply and service offerings. With increasing water demand the market is moving from selling individual machines to providing integrated engineering, construction and technical services. Turnkey solutions are becoming more popular as they minimize complexity for the client, guaranteeing fully engineered systems and seamless integration with existing structures. Service agreements include maintenance and spare parts which would allow for uninterrupted plant operation throughout the life span of the equipment. This type of integrated solution service model would appeal to the late adopters in wastewater treatment such as municipalities, who do not have large technical support staff.

Yimei's scope of work from design to engineering construction and technical service clearly demonstrate the industry shift. With 50,000 m² work shop Yimei produces over 130 kinds of treatment machines which give a complete solution for all your needs in the wastewater treatment industry.

Conclusion

Through efficient technologies, water reuse strategies, smart automation systems, service delivery models and high levels of technical support vendors are able to combat increased water demand and provide environmentally friendly wastewater treatment.

Through efficient technologies, water reuse strategies, smart automation systems, service delivery models and high levels of technical support vendors are able to combat increased water demand and provide environmentally friendly wastewater treatment. The ability to treat wastewater on site for reuse in industrial processes, irrigating green spaces, and landscaping not only reduces the burden of consuming valuable fresh water resources, but it also lowers operational costs and helps organizations reduce their carbon footprint and conserve water.
