AJ Bush Bromelton
Upgrade by AJ Bush Bromelton makes aeration safer
Project Background
AJ Bush and Sons operate the largest capacity rendering facility within Australia, and are located within the State Development area of Bromelton, Queensland. Meat by-products are processed through six different rendering process lines, and the company is the recipient of a Climate Alliance award for site emissions reduction.
The Issue
Not a company for resting on their laurels, when their treatment lagoon was not responding to the installed surface aerators, Plant Engineering Manager, Mr Byron Boyers, contacted Hydro Innovations for advice.
Solution – Gorman-Rupp Echo-Storm Aerator
Hydro Innovations recommended using two of their Gorman-Rupp Echo-Storm venturi aerators. These are bank mounted aerators that use self-priming pumps to ‘drive’ them. The required pump to drive these units was a Gorman-Rupp self-priming T10 [Super T Series] pump. This was perfect for Boyers, as he was able to repurpose a pump that the plant already had within its asset list, as it was already a Gorman-Rupp pump user.
The Benefits of using the Echo-Storm Aerator
Mr Boyers said that one of their first thoughts when selecting equipment is ease of access, and this was the beauty of the Echo-Storm venturi aeration system. He also said that due to unimpeded access, installation was a “breeze”.
The Results
Byron and his team are extremely happy with the outcome of the project. “The visual colour of the water and surrounding odour has significantly improved within a week after installation”.
Gorman-Rupp’s Echo-Storm venturi aerators are available in four sizes [50mm, 75mm, 100mm and 150mm] and are proving very popular with companies and organisations wanting to improve safety and reduce maintenance costs associated with running their aeration systems.
