New Poultry Wastewater Installation Taken Care Of By Watermark Projects And Landia
Watermark Projects (part of engineering services company, W.A Cooke & Sons) has introduced a Landia mixing system to help handle wastewater at an expanding organic poultry producer in South Wales
Comprising a Landia Chopper Pump and a venturi nozzle (ejector) that sucks in air (and therefore oxygen) and then mixes the wastewater, the AirJet eliminates the need for compressors, bottom-mounted diffusers and advanced controls.
Alistair Fielding, Water Projects Manager for Watermark Projects, said:
“Landia equipment is always very reliable; easy to install and maintain. We know we can depend on it to deal with the peaks and troughs of this application, including after clean-down in the poultry processing plant when the wastewater is more contaminated. Working on the specification with Landia was very straightforward. They are always quick to respond”.
He added: “Together with our DAF system, which is built in-house, Landia’s AirJet plays an important part in the help we are giving our poultry customer in reducing their environmental impact – significantly reducing their operational costs, as well as ensuring that they achieve local discharge consent”.
The Landia MPTKR-I Chopper Pump for the externally-mounted AirJet, is a soft-start, 1500rpm, 7.5kW unit, mixing and aerating screened poultry effluent with a pH of 4-8 in an above-ground 300m3 steel balance tank.
This latest work for Landia follows the recent successful installation of its submersible Chopper Pump for the handling of wastewater at a chicken processing plant in Scotland.
