Technology description
The ACO Aeropur Plus technological line consists of mechanical and biological parts.
Mechanical part of the ACO Aeropur Plus is
composed of the aerated screen basket (1)
being submerged into the buffer tank (2).
Sludge water is supplied into the ACO Aeropur
Plus through the inlet pipe whereby it flows into
a screen basket. Coarse-grained matters are
entrapped into the screen basket and pre-treated water passes freely through the basket
screening meshes into the buffer tank space.
Screen basket is aerated intensively from
below. Air flowing through the screen basket
grinds/crushes a part of coarse-grained impurities (left-overs, paper, etc.) which leaves the
screen basket in the form of small particles
together with pre-treated water. This self-cleaning effect of the screen basket extends considerably time period of its filling and even
intervals of its emptying by the operating staff.
Hydraulic peaks at the inlet of the ACO Aeropur
Plus sewage treatment plants are eliminated
with the aid of the buffer tank from where pretreated water is pumped uniformly into the
plant biological part. Hydraulic peak equalizing
supports stable purification efficiency considerably.

Biological part of the ACO Aeropur Plus consists of the activation tank (3) and the built-in
final sedimentation tank (4).
Activation tank is aerated intermittently by
micro-bubble aeration. Intermittent operation
provides electric power saving up to 50 percent, and simultaneously even better purification efficiency. In the mode of aeration (nitrification) there occur degradation of organic pollution and ammonia. In the mode of aeration
break (denitrification) there is a reduction of
value of nitrogen total volume.
From the activation tank the water flows into
the final sedimentation tank. Then gravitational
separation of treated water from activated sludge is realized there. Treated water flows off the
sewage treatment plant through an outlet unit.
Activated sludge falls down to the bottom of
the final sedimentation tank from where it is
pumped and then returns sludge back to the
activation tank and partly into the storage tank
(5) as surplus sludge.

Surplus sludge is stored separately in the storage tank (5) which is capable of holding it for
100 150 days. Thanks to the separate storage tank surplus sludge does not affect purification efficiency of the ACO Aeropur Plus in any
way.
Pumping of sludge water, return sludge and
surplus sludge is carried out with the aid of airlift pumps in the ACO Aeropur Plus. These
pumps need no maintenance and they are entirely resistant to clogging. Hydraulic capacity
of the pumps is continuously adjustable even
with a very small flow of rate, which helps to
ensure uniform process of purification and thus
stable purification efficiency.
As the only electric appliance of the ACO
Aeropur Plus there is a blower supplying air
into aeration elements in the activation tank
and into air-lift pumps. Blower operation is
time-controlled. Blower intermittent operation
guarantees electric power savings up to 50
percent.

Final sedimentation tank is equipped with a

device for automatic collection and removal of
floating sludge from water level. This device
supports markedly reduction of maintenance
works during operation.

Adapters of ACO Aeropur Plus

Main tanks of the ACO Aeropur Plus are statically designed for in ground installation without
concrete encasement up to inlet pipeline depth
of 1.35 m. This option offers greater flexibility
during installation of the ACO Aeropur Plus and
better adaptation to local conditions (installation of inlet and outlet pipeline in ice-free depth,
guarantee sufficient slope of the inlet and outlet pipeline, etc.).

To make utilization of the above mentioned

option possible without any expensive construction work, the ACO Aeropur Plus main
tanks are provided with adapters which means
it is possible to heighten the main tank of the
ACO Aeropur Plus quick and easily.

If some adapters are used there, the sewage

treatment plant cover remains the same as
though it were used for the main tank only.

Adapters of ACO Aeropur Plus 3 12

Adapters are of circular ground plans and it is
possible to place them fluently into the main
tank of the ACO Aeropur Plus to any position,
in a range according to the adapter type.
Adapter position is locked by screws. Fluent
height adjustment from 60 to 500 mm allows
either application of two adapters of different
heights individually or both adapters may be fitted together.

Ground plan dimensions of adapters are consistent with the ACO Aeropur Plus main tank
dimensions. The selected adapter is put on the
main tank and locked by screws. That way it is
possible to raise the main tank height by
500 mm or 1,000 mm, according to the
adapter type. However if the customer
wish it is possible to supply even adapters
being manufactured to order, with their
heights ranging from 200 to 1,000 mm.
