Fluence Corporation Limited (ASX:FLC) Launches SmartAerator™ TORNADO® for Wastewater Treatment Facilities
New energy efficient aerator provides immediate cost savings
MELBOURNE, Australia & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fluence Corporation Limited (ASX:FLC), a global leader in water and
wastewater treatment solutions, today announced the launch of its
SmartAerator™ Tornado® that provides up to 50
percent annual energy savings for wastewater treatment facilities.
The SmartAerator Tornado automatically regulates aeration levels and
remotely monitors the wastewater processing performance of the Tornado
aerator. This proprietary technology is a system of controls, sensors
and variable frequency drives designed to significantly reduce the
amount of energy required to aerate wastewater. Uniquely designed for
the Tornado aerator, this technology is sold as a retrofit kit or with
new aerators. Ideal projects are those that require large horsepower
aerators and projects with multiple aerators where energy savings would
be significant.
“The anticipated payback period for a typical SmartAerator installation
is about two years for projects with several, high-horsepower Tornados
working on site,” said Nii Mensah, General Manager for Fluence USA.
The SmartAerator comes equipped with a dashboard for tracking and
reporting aerator performance, monitoring the aeration process and
transmitting wastewater analytics to supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) systems and mobile devices. It constantly samples
wastewater oxygen levels and other process parameters while regulating
aeration intensity depending on the wastewater’s characteristics at any
given time. This eliminates over-aerating and conserves power, saving
significant energy costs.
“The SmartAerator saves energy, that’s the bottom-line,” said Mario
Coviello, P.E., Senior Electrical Engineer, Fluence USA. “With energy
savings a high priority, customers can use this product to take
advantage of financing incentives and cash rebates from their electrical
utilities and co-ops.”
