How Vortex Powered Aeration™ (VPA) can support the dairy industry’s triple bottom line
Dairy processing is hugely water intensive, with even the most efficient plants typically requiring 1-3 litres of water to process a single litre of milk. In addition to milk residues, wastewater volumes are further increased due to cleaning, cooling, and other operational needs.
Aeration typically accounts for 60% of a wastewater treatment plant’s power consumption. The inefficiencies of conventional aeration methods make it challenging to comply with environmental regulations and meet corporate sustainability goals.
BENEFITS OF VPA
Vortex Powered Aeration™ (VPA™) is a groundbreaking advancement in wastewater treatment, combining efficiency, reliability, and ease of operation to address the limitations of conventional aeration methods.
Rethinking aeration can reduce carbon emissions, improve community relations and working conditions, and cut wastewater treatment costs.
CREAM OF THE CROP
A multi-national dairy products manufacturer has deployed VPA™ technology at their milk powder production facility in Ireland to increase capacity and provide redundancy.
The retrofitted VPA™ solution delivered a 3.8x increase in airflow compared to a conventional aeration system within the same power budget.
