Too small: this was the verdict on the existing polymer treatment station when all sludge treatment processes at the Klagenfurt wastewater treatment plant (Carinthia) were examined for possible optimisation. The old three-chamber plant with subsequently adapted preparation tanks was bursting at the seams. As a result, the flocculant used for sludge dewatering was unable to realise its full potential.
In this situation, those responsible at KA Klagenfurt decided to purchase two two-chamber pendulum systems, each with a capacity of 6000 litres (2KP-6000) from Eurodos. The order posed a particular challenge for the Eurodos technicians, as the spatial situation did not allow for a prefabricated standard system.
For reasons of space and logistical considerations, both pendulum systems had to be set up exactly where the old treatment station was located - in the basement. However, there was no sufficiently large opening through which the new systems could be brought there, especially as they were significantly more voluminous than the existing one.
Eurodos therefore designed the two pendulum systems as a customised solution. The Eurodos technicians arrived in Klagenfurt with the "raw components" and assembled the customised system directly in the cellar.
