Transform wastewater for sustainable future at Ozwater’24

While demand for wastewater treatment is growing in Australia, choosing the right process and equipment for wastewater treatment has never been more important to meet environmental, regulatory and operational requirements.

Alfa Laval is pleased to exhibit at OzWater’24 (Melbourne, 30 April – 2 May 2024) with its market leading wastewater decanter technology, and a raft of other innovative products and services focusing on water conservation, wastewater treatment, water reuse and the establishment of circular water systems.

With solutions and competences accumulated over many decades and industries, Alfa Laval helps you move towards an energy-neutral resource recovery plant. We know that by applying the most energy-efficient solutions, municipalities can optimise their energy consumption. There is also ample opportunity to recover heat from multiple process steps as an energy source or generate energy from methane, together with the recovery of resources.

This is backed by our unrivalled local service network with service centres, field service engineers, and authorized service providers across Australia.

Solutions for Sludge Treatment & Thickening

To reduce sludge volume, waste disposal cost and meet sustainability requirements, on-site sludge thickening and sludge dewatering is a fundamental part of all current wastewater treatment processes. Dewatering and thickening equipment such as decanters and rotary drum filters are also highly relevant for sludge to be used as digester feed for biogas production, thermal processes and composting.

Membranes

Membrane bioreactor technology is a future-proof solution for treatment of both municipal and industrial wastewater. It allows you to maximize resource recovery, minimize costs and implement a circular-economy perspective in your operations. Membrane technology allows removal of hazardous pollutants –including PFAS and microplastics - with solutions that can even meet the strict requirements of the revised EU Urban Waste Water directive. >>MBR membranes

 

Zero Liquid Discharge

Turn waste into value with an Alfa Laval AlfaFlash ZLD system. These robust, compact solutions increase water usage efficiency by removing liquid waste and treating water for reuse, at a lower investment, installation and operational costs compared to traditional evaporation technologies. ZLD systems are designed to meet the needs of a broad range of applications including industrial waste streams and municipal wastewater treatment. >>AlfaFlash ZLD

 

Spiral Heat Exchangers

Pre-heating of wastewater sludge prior to sludge dewatering can cut costs and provide an opportunity for heat recovery. Thermal equipment can also be used for sludge digestion to produce biogas and for sludge hydrolysis and pasteurization. >>Welded spiral heat exchangers
