Water infrastructure may indeed use air compressors during construction and operation. Air compressor in water conservancy, water treatment and water supply and other fields have a wide range of applications, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. water conservancy project construction
- foundation pit drainage in the construction of water conservancy projects, such as reservoirs, dams and other projects, the air compressor can be used for well washing operations. Through the vibration of the air compressor, the water channel can be washed, the precipitation in the pipe can be eliminated, and the smoothness of the drainage ditch can be ensured.
2. sewage treatment
- physical treatment in the first-level physical treatment stage of sewage treatment, the compressed air provided by the air compressor can drive the screw conveyor, mixer and other equipment to help remove suspended solids.
- biological treatment in the biological treatment system, the aeration system relies on the pure compressed air supplied by the air compressor to provide the necessary oxygen environment for microorganisms and promote the degradation of organic matter.
- chemical treatment in the chemical treatment stage, the air compressor provides power for water pumps, backwashing pumps and other equipment, and supports the operation of sludge cleaning and pneumatic valves to ensure the deep purification of sewage.
3. Waterworks
- water quality improvement: The air compressor can inject compressed air into the water to oxidize and reduce the impurities, iron oxide, chlorine and other harmful substances in the water into harmless substances, thereby improving water quality.
- Power source: The air compressor provides the power source for the water plant, so that the water transportation, pressurization, filtration and other treatment equipment can work normally.
- Atmosphere protection: The air compressor can also provide atmosphere protection for the water plant to prevent equipment from being corroded.
Water quality improvement of 4. reservoir
- water-raising aeration: In the reservoir water quality improvement project, the "water aeration" technology uses the compressed air provided by the air compressor to form an air bomb, causing the upper and lower water bodies to exchange, and achieving the purpose of mixing the upper and lower water layers, thereby improving the water quality of the reservoir.
5. assistance system
- instrument gas air compressors are widely used in auxiliary systems such as instrument gas to ensure accurate control of the entire water treatment process.
- Dryer air source the air compressor provides air source for the dryer to ensure that the environment is dry without condensation and improve the operating efficiency of the overall equipment.
To sum up, air compressor plays an important role in the construction and operation of water infrastructure, from water conservancy project construction, sewage treatment to water plant operation and reservoir water quality improvement and other links are applied.
