Wastewater Treatment Solutions

At PPS, we understand the critical role compressed air and blowers play in the effective operation of wastewater treatment plants. From aeration to sludge handling, these systems are essential to keeping your plant running smoothly, safely, and efficiently.

 

Whether you are building up a completely new installation or looking for a more sustainable replacement for your current compressed air installation, we've got you covered. Up to 80% of energy consumption and over 60% of the carbon emissions can be directly and indirectly attributed to the aeration process and the air blowers providing aeration air.

 

How Compressed Air & Blowers Support Wastewater Treatment

 

Aeration Tanks

Blowers supply oxygen to biological treatment processes, ensuring effective breakdown of organic waste.

 

Pneumatic Controls

Compressed air powers valves, actuators, and instrumentation used in process automation.

 

Sludge Dewatering & Conveyance

Compressed air assists in driving pneumatic pumps and filter presses, optimising sludge handling.

 

Odour Control Systems

Air movement helps contain and treat unpleasant odours with minimal energy consumption.

Case Studies

  • Blower System Upgrade at Severn Trent Water Treatment Plants

    As part of a major infrastructure refurbishment across six water treatment plants, Severn Trent Water implemented a series of upgrades to its Rapid Gravity Filter (RGF) systems. A key objective was to improve operational efficiency, reduce contamination risk, and ensure a reliable supply of clean drinking water to a growing population.

  • Energy-Efficient Blower Upgrade at Nigg Wastewater Treatment Works

    Scottish Water Services, operating under a 28-year DBFO contract with Scottish Water, sought to modernise its aeration process at the Nigg Wastewater Treatment Works, which serves a population of 250,000. The primary goal was to address inefficiencies, reduce operational risk, and lower energy costs associated with the plant’s traditional lobe-type blowers used in its Biological Air Flooded Filter (BAFF) process.

What our customers say

We have dealt with PPS for 25 years since they installed our original system, they have always been professional, quick to respond and helpful in maintaining our system. 

When we decided to investigate updating our system, they provided useful data on our existing and future possibilities.  This data along with their advice was superb. 

The new system has met our expectations. I would always recommend PPS.

John Gibson

Waddington & Ledger Group

I’ve worked with pneumatics but had no schematics for this particular application, so PPS helped us all the way through. I’m really impressed with the system; it lifts up easily and is set on a 360° revolving plate with wheels that also turn, which makes it easy to manoeuvre.

PPS were very helpful and supportive, sorting every problem in the process and taking the stress off me. Everything was spot on, I can’t fault PPS and I would highly recommend their services.

Connor Turner

Safe Stage Services

PPS are a great team to work with. I have peace of mind and working with them takes something off my plate. They leave me knowing it’s left in good hands and that I know I don’t have to worry about the compressors or the plant room.

Without the compressors we wouldn’t run, so working with a company that gives me no headaches is all you want.

Bob Holinski

Facilities & Engineering Manager, Cirteq Ltd

I was naturally nervous about replacing our complete pneumatic system during full production.

From our initial meetings, PPS were completely professional and remained so throughout the whole project – high levels of safety and courtesy were maintained. I had zero interruption to the plant, the engineers fully understood the needs of my plant and worked around us.

It was a completely painless project.
