Heat Usage

600kw of LTHW at 85ºC delivered to a sludge heat exchanger Via 304 stainless steel pipework and Grundfos loading pumps. The heat demand is variable and so controlled with a blended heating control valve. The system runs at max 3bar water pressure. The sludge is pumped out of a holding tank to the digester tank via the water to sludge heat exchanger.

More Information

Our clients were installing a new process, on their Bournemouth wastewater site, to break down the ammonia present with one of the waste streams.

Deep marine bacteria is used to consume the ammonia and the 600kw of hot water is used to heat the liquid waste to allow the active growth of the bacteria.
