Energy-efficient wastewater aeration technology.

About us

VorTech Water Solutions (VWS) solves energy intensive municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. Wastewater treatment has a massive energy footprint, consuming 1-2% of the world’s electricity. This is being continuously intensified by population growth and increasingly stringent treatment regulations. A significant contributor to the energy demand is the aeration process in biological treatment, accounting for up to 1% of the world’s electricity, which continues to employ outdated and inefficient aeration technologies. Energy efficiency has never had sufficient focus in the design of aeration systems. The Vortex Power Aerator, a novel wastewater aeration technology that massively reduces the energy of wastewater aeration has been developed to reduce the footprint of these processes. VorTech Water Solutions specialises in providing energy efficient water and wastewater solutions together with high-value services such as computational fluid dynamics and process modelling to maximise treatment performance at the lowest energy input. With years of expertise in fluid dynamics, wastewater process, control, and energy, we have developed the Vortex Power Aerator, cyclonic aeration approach which massively reduces the cost of aeration by up to 50%.

  • VorTech VPA™ - How It Works.  A question for the engineers out there – “If you could design the human body again, would you think it better to have multiple lungs in multiple locations around your body (legs, arms, head, torso etc)?” Aeration and mixing are at the heart of a wastewater treatment operation, but both suffer from a host of challenges. These are well known to operators. VorTech Water Solutions has developed a new class of advanced wastewater aeration and mixing technology to address these challenges head on! Below is a short video on how it works. A standard Vortex Powered Aeration (VPA-S) unit approaches aeration differently from traditional surface aerators and fine bubble systems. Rather than delivering air to water at the bottom of a reactor, under meters of water, VPA smoothly and consistently brings water to the air (i.e. the oxygen source) above the water surface. In this approach, a vortex helps produce fine bubbles, the same fine bubbles that may be found in an efficient diffused aeration system, whilst avoiding the usual accompanying complexity and maintenance headaches that have challenged wastewater plants for decades. VorTech units are gaining a lot of interest amongst treatment plant operators globally, with years of operational track record already collected in both municipal and industrial wastewater plant facilities.

  • We are looking forward to this year's UK Water Industry Awards, taking place in Birmingham tonight. VorTech Water Solutions and Isle Global will join a number of worthy shortlisted finalists on the night, such as Anglian Water Services, NWG (Northumbrian Water Group), United Utilities and Mott MacDonald to name a few. All strive to improve the sector, year on year. You'd agreed they are all already winners and that the sector benefits greatly from the work they do.

    This is VorTech!🌪🌪 💧💧 🚰 Over the last three to four years, VorTech has deployed its ground-breaking wastewater technology at several commercial reference sites across Ireland and the UK; including in industrial (food and beverage) and municipal facilities (with treatment capacities so far of +110,000 people). See video below for examples. Vortex Powered Aeration (or VPA for short) addresses longstanding challenges of activated sludge treatment including: ✅ Lower cost (no blowers required), easier and safer retrofits ✅ Enhanced energy efficiency through innovative vortex and pump controlled operation ✅ Almost no maintenance, with all parts accessible above the water line In aggregate, the solution enhances sustainability and reduces total lifecycle costs of wastewater treatment! Registration for knowledge share events will be open soon. Contact us to find out more on info@vortechws.com #sustainability #SDG6 #efficiency #wastewater #innovation

    🎉🏆 🫧 🌪️We are delighted to announce that VorTech Water Solutions has been shortlisted, with our colleagues at Isle Utilities, for the prestigious Water Industry Awards 2024 in the #Groundbreaker category. The award shortlist recognises our Vortex Powered Aeration™ (VPA™ ) technology which is an innovative, new class of wastewater treatment system that significantly reduces the operational and total lifecycle costs of wastewater management. The system is uniquely powered by vortex (or cyclonic) flow and its objectives are simple and straightforward: fix the challenges associated with conventional aeration infrastructure, particularly by reducing cost and energy use. In this project, alongside diminishing the maintenance costs and enhancing the safety of operation at a major industrial facility, VorTech’s VPA™ technology has achieved a 30% reduction in specific energy consumption, contributing to more sustainable and cost-effective operations. The project received amazing support from our partners at Isle Utilities and Xylem Innovation Labs. Join us on 4th July 2024 at The Vox, Birmingham, to celebrate excellence and innovation in the water sector. #WaterIndustryAwards #Efficiency #Innovation #Sustainability #Collaboration
