General Description:
The biological oxidation process by horizontal rotor aeration works
through the mixed flow principle. A rapid turbulence of the ditch
contents mixes influent with air. It is simple, inexpensive, and efficient.
Biwater’s range of horizontal aerators cater for small community
treatment plants up to major installations serving 250,000 population
or greater.
All horizontal aerators are non-clog design, rugged construction,
with high efficiency operating characteristics.
Three rotors are used in Biwater ditch systems, with the MINI rotor
being the smallest, the MIDI an intermediate size and the MAXI the
largest.
The design of Biwater’s horizontal rotors ensure high oxygen
transfer rates as well as complete mixing and circulation velocities
with a minimum expenditure of power. The proven operating characteristics
mean that the rotor installations are simple, inexpensive and efficient.
THE MAXI ROTOR:
Able to provide in excess of 9.0Kg dissolved oxygen per hour per metre
of rotor length with correct selection, the MAXI is a rugged construction,
vigorous turbulence rotor. It has a diameter of 1,000mm and is manufactured
in standard lengths of 4.5, 6.0, 7.5, and 9.0 metres. Intermediate
lengths can be manufactured.
THE MIDI ROTOR:
This intermediate sized rotor is of similar configuration to the MAXI
rotor. An oxygen transfer rate approaching 4.5Kg/m/hour is possible.
Maximum unit length is around 4.5m but it possible to couple rotors
together to give greater individual length.
THE MINI ROTOR:
For smaller installations, the MINI has been proved in performance
in hundreds of installations worldwide.
The rotor is 700mm diameter, with maximum oxygen transfer of some
3.5Kg/m/hr and maximum unit length of 4.0m. Again, coupled units can
provide greater individual length if required. Construction is of
cage form.

HIGH OXYGEN TRANSFER RATES
All Biwater horizontal rotors have been independently tested and have
proven high rate performance.
FLEXIBILITY
Oxygen transfer is variable against rotor blade immersion, providing
flexibility in operation, and giving capacity to handle shock load
conditions.
In addition, further flexibility can be achieved with a multi rotor
plant, by switching off one or more units against demand.
Dissolved oxygen monitoring equipment will cater for these features,
prime rotors have 24 hour operation to provide the necessary circulation.
IDEAL CIRCULATION VELOCITIES
Rotors provide complete mixing and circulation velocities in the aeration
tank, with vigorous flow.
EASY MAINTENANCE ACCESS
A major advantage associated with Biwater Treatment’s range
of horizontal rotors is that full maintenance access is available
to all components from bridge level without the need to interfere
with tank contents.
