Wildeshausen wastewater treatment plant: Unconventional but simply practical. Emptying the tank with a tractor and Vogelsang pumps

Wildeshausen: The county seat in the district of Oldenburg is located directly on the Hunte river in a region rich in agricultural land and forests. The next big city is not far away and yet – or precisely because of the location – the number of inhabitants is steadily increasing. This continuous growth and the constantly increasing requirements for wastewater treatment make it necessary to continuously develop the wastewater treatment plant, which is operated by the city.

Trouble free pumping of dirty water and wastewater is essential for a functional sewer system. Therefore, you need the right pump to ensure optimal flow. But which pump systems are the most efficient for this purpose? Correspond with the provisions of the wastewater regulation and reliably cope with events such as heavy rain? We look into it and explain what needs to be considered.

Lower power requirement, more gas yield

In a field trial, specialists from Ruhe Biogas tested the DisRuptor from Vogelsang on a biogas plant owned by Ruhe Agrar. The result encouraged Ruhe Agrar to have another seven DisRuptor disintegration systems installed.

Transport technology: 2,222 TUnits for hygienic wastewater disposal

The number 2 is generating some striking figures this year. For example, 2/22/2022 was a popular wedding date. The number 2 also plays a significant role for Vogelsang, especially in the transportation technology segment: 22 years ago, Vogelsang developed the TUnit, a system for disposing of wastewater from passenger trains and supplying fresh water. Not only that, the mechanical engineering company recently implemented the 2.222^thTUnit.

Rotary lobe pump tackles highly viscous media

In industry, pumping molasses is one of the gold-standard disciplines for pumps. The highly viscous sugar syrup is created as a by-product of sugar production and places high demands on the pump technology due to its extreme viscosity.

XRipper XRC ensures properly functioning sanitary systems

The XRipper XRC twin-shaft grinder with Sewer Integration Kit (SIK) can be used in a variety of applications thanks to its compact design. At the Piper campsite in Italy, it shreds the coarse matter contained in the wastewater to ensure smooth operation of the sanitary facilities.

“Our roots are in agriculture. That’s why we’ve always had a very close relationship with nature and the responsible use of it.”

Processing of waste. The RedUnit industrial grinder for the feed industry

There is waste in almost every production area. This is also the case with the production of bread. In large bakeries and supermarkets there are tons of bread every day that have to be sorted out for various reasons. However, this waste contains many valuable raw materials and is far too good “for the bin.”

Working from home during the pandemic: Digital work environment at Vogelsang

As a successful international company, Vogelsang GmbH would never simply boast about being a manufacturer of environmental technology – but it’s an irrefutable fact that Vogelsang products are often used in environment-related sectors and fields, or even specially developed for such purposes. We have machines and systems all over the world that help to make the collection and cleaning of waste water more energy-efficient. Vogelsang system components even help to improve efficiency in biogas plants, while spreading technology “Made by Vogelsang” ensures precise and environmentally friendly use of liquid manures in the agricultural sector.
