Aerofloat was able to quickly identify a simple and cost-effective treatment plant to meet the client’s need.
Astron was after a solution that provided lower turbidity water for washing of its plastics, reduced odour of its water and overall plant, and a bag dewatering system to allow sludge to be disposed of in a skip rather than liquid waste in an IBC.
Aerofloat custom designed a wastewater treatment solution to treat Astron Plastics wash water by using its patented dissolved air flotation unit, the AeroDAF 100.
A successful trial and final project, that achieved the agreed success criteria of lower turbidity water, reduced odour and a manageable sludge dewatering solution.
Aerofloat was able to quickly identify a simple and cost-effective treatment plant to meet the client’s need.
The plant does not recycle post-consumer plastics but does recycle old and damaged garbage and recycling bins. As such, the wash water quality is not as readily contaminated as that from other plastics recyclers Aerofloat has worked with.
Aerofloat designed, installed and commissioned a wastewater treatment plant that included Aerofloat’s proprietary moving bed biofilm reactor AeroMBBR, a 3m3/h dissolved air flotation (AeroDAF) unit and a bag sludge dewatering system.
Aerofloat is excited about the new design option it has created for the plastics recycling industry. Aerofloat is seen as a leader in wastewater treatment for the plastics recycling industry and received a GreenTech Consensus Award in December 2019 for its achievements in this area.
Meat manufacturer Meyer Food Co. utilised Aerofloat’s AeroDAF to ensure compliancy for its meat processing facility.
Circular Plastics Australia’s new plant in Altona North, Victoria, will recycle high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) plastics from the Melbourne community. It required a wastewater treatment solution that would meet Melbourne city’s strict trade waste requirements.
Circular Plastics Australia’s new plant in Laverton, Victoria, required a wastewater treatment solution that would meet Melbourne city’s strict trade waste requirements. Aerofloat has worked with Circular Plastics Australia on multiple projects to ensure compliant wastewater.
