Water and wastewater constitute a socially critical infrastructure

Infrastructure investments are substantial, and ongoing maintenance work is costly. This applies to everything from pumping stations to treatment plants and utility tunnels.

Why effective air treatment is crucial in wastewater facilities

Above and below ground, high humidity, condensation, and exposure to corrosive substances can cause significant operational and structural issues if left unmanaged.

Key challenges

Corrosion and structural damage
Excess moisture accelerates rust and corrosion, particularly on metal surfaces and critical equipment. This leads to frequent repairs and replacements, increasing maintenance costs.
Condensation and mold growth
Condensation forms on cold surfaces, creating an ideal environment for mold and bacterial growth. This not only damages the facility but also poses health risks to workers.
Impaired air quality
Poor air quality due to high humidity affects the working environment, leading to discomfort and potential health issues for the personnel.

The effects of air treatment

Proper dehumidification and air treatment provide crucial benefits for wastewater facilities:

Extended equipment lifespan
Reduces corrosion and ensures that machinery and infrastructure last longer.
Lower maintenance costs
Prevents moisture-induced damage, saving time and resources.
Improved working conditions
Creates a safer and healthier environment for workers.
Operational efficiency
Reduces disruptions and ensures reliable facility operation.

With tailored solutions from Airwatergreen, you can protect your wastewater infrastructure, reduce costs, and ensure sustainable operations.

Applications in wastewater facilities

Effective air treatment is crucial in various areas of wastewater facilities, where each zone faces unique challenges. Airwatergreen offers customized solutions to meet these needs, ensuring sustainability, efficiency, and a healthier environment.

Pumping stations

Challenge: Condensation on cold surfaces and fluctuating humidity levels.
Our solution: Compact dehumidifiers such as the FLEX, perfectly adapted for these environments.

Treatment plants

Challenge: Open water surfaces, temperature variations, and high relative humidity.
Our solution: Powerful models like REX or NEXT-S, ensuring year-round efficiency.

Screen chambers

Challenge: Underground spaces with cold pipes are prone to condensation, increasing the risk of corrosion and structural damage.
Our solution: The FLEX dehumidifier can be easily wall-mounted for optimal humidity control.
The use of a dew point sensor is recommended in areas with low pipe temperatures to ensure precise dehumidification.

Storage of polymer materials

Challenge: Chemicals and materials stored in these areas require strict humidity control to maintain their quality and usability.
Our solution: The FLEX dehumidifier automatically maintains the desired moisture level, preventing material degradation.

Staff facilities and storage rooms

Challenge: Proper ventilation is necessary, but during the summer months it can introduce excess moisture when the outdoor air is humid.
Our solution: Tailor the dehumidification capacity to the estimated moisture load using FLEX or REX units.

Reduced costs

Simple installation

Fully integrable

Optimal performance in ALL climates

We have experienced issues with condensation and moisture in our water plant for a long time. I am very pleased that we were able to resolve these issues by installing a REX dehumidifier.

Our solutions for wastewater environments

The choice of product depends on the moisture load in the room. We are happy to assist in estimating the moisture load by measuring actual humidity levels and performing calculations that factor in the room dimensions and ventilation.

In small to medium-sized pump stations, FLEX is the natural choice. FLEX dehumidifiers can be wall-mounted or free-standing on the floor. FLEX can also be configured to function as an auxiliary heating element using the Tempguard feature.

The BLACKBOX carbon filter removes hydrogen sulfide in pump stations. It is advantageously combined with a dehumidifier to maintain an appropriate humidity level in the pump station while also reducing the moisture load on the carbon filter, thereby extending its service life.

REX is ideally suited for large pump stations and other large spaces such as filter beds. Multiple REX units provide increased capacity.

Both FLEX and REX can be connected to existing monitoring systems via Modbus.
