No Cost

  • Operate the air-activated sludge system's blowers on lower speeds or use fewer blowers during times when the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) is not at its maximum for the day. This action can reduce an aeration system's energy usage up to 35%.

Good Investment

  • Consider installing smaller blowers alongside existing larger ones. Until influent levels increase, use only the lower-horsepower blowers in order to save between 5 and 40% of aeration system usage.
  • Switch to airlift pumps.
  • Use ultraviolet disinfecting systems.
  • Utilize low-pressure membrane filtration systems.
