Reliable treatment process at minimal life cycle-cost
Sulzer equipment increases wastewater treatment capacity and efficiency
The Kujawy Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Kraków, Poland, was built in 1999. The capacity of this mechanical-biological plant ranged from 80'000 m³/d in dry weather up to 223'000 m³/d during rainy periods. The plant was originally built using ABS aerators, agitators, pumps, and mixers.
The challenge
After twelve years of operation, a modernization of the treatment plant was needed for the removal of nitrogen and phosphorous pollutants, as well as an enlargement by another 100'000 PE (population equivalent).
After a thorough quality and efficiency analysis, Sulzer was selected to make the final proposal for the plant modernization.
The solution
During 2011-2013, we finalized the design and in December 2013 we signed the significant contract for the delivery of altogether 81 pieces of equipment including turbocompressors, agitators, pumps, flowboosters and mixers.
The delivery and installation of the equipment was started in the second quarter of 2014 and the last submersible XFP pump was delivered to the Krakow wastewater treatment plant in December.
The XRCP 800 is specifically designed for pumping and recirculation of activated sludge in the denitrification/nitrification process of a wastewater treatment plant. This compact and easy-to-handle pump is efficient and reliable.
This was our biggest project in Poland so far and a great challenge for our people. It was rewarding to see how the customer gained even more confidence in the delivered products day by day.
