Mifumo ya mchakato wa sludge iliyowashwa (ASP) hutumia umeme kupiga hewa katika maji taka mbichi, yasiyo na utulivu. Hii inavunja imara ili kuendeleza 'soup' ya kibiolojia. Aeration inaruhusu bakteria ya kawaida inayotokea katika taka kuchimba maudhui yoyote ya kikaboni, kupunguza kiwango cha jumla cha uchafuzi. Mimea ya matibabu ya maji taka ya ASP haina chumba cha msingi cha makazi, ambayo inamaanisha kutokwa mara kwa mara na harufu chache zisizohitajika.
Once the sewage has been aerated for long enough, excess liquid is discharged into a clarification chamber, where live bacteria settle to the bottom. Dead bacteria rise to the top, leaving clean water in the middle – which can then be discharged safely into either a watercourse, drainage field or soakaway.
VICHUJIO VYA AERATION VILIVYOZAMA
In a submerged aeration filter, a primary settlement chamber holds solid material. This is where anaerobic digestion by bacteria takes place. Clarified water then passes into a second chamber containing a submerged media – and here, the water is treated to remove dissolved constituents by aerobic bacteria, supported by diffused air. This process ensures that full treatment is achieved before the material flows to a final settlement chamber. The final, treated wastewater is discharged to the drainage field, watercourse or soakaway.
