AERZEN Rental Netherlands' Success with Bubble Screen System for Salt and Surface Water Separation
Introduction
At AERZEN Rental Netherlands, we are proud to provide innovative and reliable solutions to complex industrial challenges. Recently, we partnered with a water purification plant in the Netherlands to resolve an issue where saltwater was contaminating surface water during a maintenance period. Our solution? A bubble screen system designed to keep the water types separated at two key sites.
The Challenge: Salt Water Contamination
During maintenance at the purification plant, saltwater was entering the surface water system, posing significant environmental and operational risks. The salt and fresh water needed to remain separate to ensure proper disposal methods and maintain water quality. This was where AERZEN Rental Netherlands' expertise came into play.
Our Solution: The Bubble Screen System
We deployed a bubble screen system at two critical locations to prevent the mixing of saltwater and surface water. The bubble screens created an effective barrier, maintaining the integrity of the water channels. To ensure uninterrupted operations, the setup included:
- 2 BVO 705 blowers, each housed in a 20-foot container
- 1 Diesel-powered generator supplied by Bredenoord
- 200 meters of power cables
- A collection of hoses, headers, and aeration hoses
Equipment Used
Our solution was powered by reliable, high-performance equipment, including the Oil Free Air Blower and Screw Blower. These units are essential for creating the bubble screens that effectively separated the water types. The entire system ran seamlessly for a duration of three weeks.
