To comply with environmental regulations and safeguard the natural beauty of the area, Schladming authorities were keen to minimise any environmental impacts from the local wastewater treatment plant. They also wanted to future-proof the treatment plant so it could be used by multiple local municipalities. Using an Atlas Copco energy storage system and electric pump, they developed a wastewater treatment plant that meets their sustainability goals.
The E PAS self-priming electric pump performs two functions: it makes removal of the waste from the digester tower much faster, easier, and cheaper, and also acts as a standby pump for other pumps at the treatment plant when they experience an outage for maintenance or repair.
In addition, to manage the power supply of certain operations, the plant has relied on a ZBP energy storage system from Atlas Copco, which can accumulate and deliver renewable energy from the plant's solar array.
