Biological Wastewater Treatment
Mine water treatment
a heavy-duty application with FUCHS Aerators
Treat acidic, iron-rich mine water reliably
Mine water from lignite mining is often characterised by an acidic pH value and high iron and sulfate concentrations. This water must be treated before it is discharged into the receiving water body. In most cases, an effluent concentration of < 3 mg/l is required for iron. FUCHS Aerators have been operating successfully in numerous large mine water treatment plants for more than 20 years.
Areas of application
Targeted oxidation of iron and manganese with OxyStar aerators through effective oxygen transfer and intensive circulation and mixing
Stripping of free carbon dioxide with AeroStar aerators to reduce operating costs
Installation on floats or suspended from tank walls and machine bridges
Suitable for use in almost any tank shape
Round or rectangular tanks, oxidation ditches, water depths between 1 m and 5 m
