The Project:
To treat the surface discharge water before it enters the receiving water course.
Executing company:
Firma PLA Pumpen und Anlagenbau GmbH
22844 Norderstedt
The problem:
The discharge water of the Feldhofe mud dumpsite is heavily laden with Fe-ions. Treatment of the surface discharge water is necessary before it enters the receiving watercourse.
The solution:
Treatment via oxidation and iron oxide precipitation, assisted by a 2.2kW submersible aerator. Since the bottom of the natural water body is uneven and muddy, a base plate was welded on and the aerator sunk using a crane. Oxygen measurements made after installation (using DO electrodes) were highly satisfactory.
