Equalization Systems for Flow and Load Balancing

What are Equalization Systems?

Equalization Systems are engineered to buffer fluctuating flow rates and pollutant loads, ensuring stable conditions for downstream treatment. Designed with automated controls, durable tanks, and integrated mixing, these systems help prevent process upsets and improve overall plant performance.

How Equalization Systems Improve Wastewater Treatment

Stabilizes Flow Rates, preventing surges from overwhelming downstream processes.

Balances Pollutant Loads, reducing spikes in BOD, nutrients, and other contaminants.

Enhances Biological Treatment, supporting steady conditions for microbial activity in Activated Sludge or MBBR systems.

Reduces Risks of Upsets, minimizing the chance of washouts or process failures during peak loading.

Improves Effluent Quality, which leads to more consistent and compliant discharge or reuse water.

Supports Energy Efficiency by allowing downstream systems to operate closer to optimal conditions.

Enables Automation, integrating easily with level sensors, pumps, and control systems for hands-free operation.

Applications of Equalization Systems in Wastewater Treatment

Chemical Manufacturing and Food and Beverage

Manges variable flows and load spikes from batch processes.

 

Municipal Wastewater

Balances peak flows and stormwater surges to protect biological processes and prevent overflows.

 

Resorts and Campgrounds

Handles fluctuating flows caused by intermittent occupancy, ensuring consistent system performance.

 

Wineries

Equalizes seasonal and highly variable organic loads to stabilize downstream treatment.
