Air Blowers For Efficient Wastewater Treatment Benefits of using air blowers in your system In wastewater treatment processes, aeration introduces air into a liquid, providing an aerobic environment for microbial degradation of organic matter. The purpose of aeration is two-fold. To supply the required oxygen to the micro-organisms Provide mixing so the micro-organisms come into intimate contact with the dissolved and suspended organic matter. The most common aeration system is Submerged Aeration. This is where air is introduced by diffusers submerged in the wastewater. Various types of aeration blower systems are available, the two most common methods incorporated into small to medium sized aeration systems are piston and diaphragm aerators. Both units have advantages and disadvantages when applied to the wastewater process. At Austin Bluewater we are able to offer recommendations on both types of product for your particular requirements. Looking for technical information? Go to resources Want to know more?

Manufacturing Process For Wastewater Treatment Systems Tanks built tough: strength & durability you can rely on Each tank is constructed with a single piece design to prevent breakages and leaks within the internal walls. Using specially designed steel moulds ensures consistency in our production. After every pour, our moulds are carefully inspected, cleaned and prepared for the next use. To reinforce the concrete, we use 665 steel mesh and extra reinforcement for the lifting points. This internal mesh is centrally positioned to add strength to the structure and meets the requirements of AS/NZS1546.1:2008, ensuring a minimum concrete cover over reinforcement. Although more labour intensive, this ensures a more durable structure than commonly used fibre concrete. Readymix concrete is poured into the moulds and externally vibrated to ensure all voids are filled and excess air is removed. Once cured, the concrete in our tanks has a strength of 45mpa, twice the strength of a house foundation! After the pour is complete, the moulds are covered and steamed overnight for optimal curing. Once the concrete is cured, the moulds are rotated, unclamped and lifted off the tank. Our skilled team assembles the required quality components and completes the internal fit out of the system. We pour the tank lids separately, these are placed on top of the tank bodies and sealed along the joins. A bead of sealant is applied prior to an epoxy mix to minimise the chance of leaking as much as possible. Before being sent to their new homes, each completed system undergoes a thorough Quality Assurance process. Want to know more? Contact our team today! 0800 287 846 sales@austinbluewater.co.nz

Grease Traps and Oil & Grit Interceptors We have a range of engineered systems suitable for your commercial entity. Below is an introduction to the different systems, how they work and what you can expect. If you have any queries, just pick up the phone and give us a call, or send us an email. We are always very happy to help. Grease Traps Oil & Grit Interceptors Grease Traps A grease trap's function is to remove grease from the wastewater stream to achieve acceptable standards before discharging into a sanitary sewer system. Precast concrete grease interceptors are the most effective choice for grease removal, they are watertight, durable and easy to install. Manufactured with high strength steel reinforced concrete, these come in a range of sizes to suit different applications. Trafficable options are also available if required. Multi chamber systems retain grease and fat by allowing them to settle on the surface and allowing the clean water to pass through. Specifically designed grease filters can be added to these systems when a higher level of treatment is required. Looking for technical information? Go to resources Oil & Grit Interceptors Oil & Grit Interceptors are the technical solution for the separation of oil & grit from stormwater runoff at fuel stations, car parks, commercial spaces, contracting environments and industrial wash down bays. The interceptor uses gravitational force and varying densities of oil and water to remove oil from drainage. Oil and grit interceptors are an effective and simple solution to separate and store grits and all types of oils from lightly contaminated storm water and wash-down water. They are required for the separation of heavy solids (sand & grit) and floating hydrocarbons from storm water or wash down areas. They are typically used in industrial and commercial applications where there is potential risk for contamination from hydrocarbon products into waterways. The multi chambered treatment tank is installed close to the collection point (to ensure the oil reaches the interceptor before it emulsifies or pollutes the area) allowing for the storm water / wash down water to flow into the settlement chambers prior to entering a storm water lateral or disposal system. Features… Multi-chambered tank design - engineered for effective grit and oil separation Watertight construction of tank preventing water ingress Manufactured using steel reinforced 45mpa commercial strength concrete Robust design for commercial applications Swift lift anchors to ensure easy manoeuvrability and cartage Option to customise design to suit the application including engineers PS1 for loading design. Options for cast iron manhole covers Customised options for inlet and outlet pipework Engineered designs for heavy duty trafficable lids Best suited to… The Austin Bluewater Oil & Grit Interceptor can be used in the following applications: Driveways Loading bays Small sealed carparks Commercial carwash facilities Wash down bays Depots or terminals Pre-treatment to a retention tank or pond Industrial yards Approved Standards Built to NZS 3109, Concrete Construction New Zealand Standard Oil & Grit Interceptors Technical Specifications Brochure Download the brochure Looking for technical information?

Sundry Components We have a selection of system components suitable as replacement, new or retrofitting. The below is a sample of some of the components we stock. Contact us for recommendations and suitability. If you have any queries, just pick up the phone and give us a call, or send us an email. We are always very happy to help. Flouts Disc Diffusers Bio-Blok Float Switches Flouts A Flout provides a power free way of dosing an effluent field. How do flouts work? When the chamber is full the flout is triggered and discharges a fixed dose (dose depends on chamber size and Flout length). This provides a more even distribution of the field when compared to gravity and as a result can extend field life. Not suitable for all sites and dispersal methods, this will usually be specified by your wastewater engineer or speak to the Austin Bluewater team to see if this is the correct choice for your site. Looking for technical information? Go to resources Disc Diffusers In the wastewater treatment process, aeration introduces air into the liquid, providing an aerobic environment for microbial degration of organic matter. The purpose of aeration is two fold: To supply the required oxygen to the micro organisms To provide mixing to allow micro organisms to come into intimate contact with dissolved and suspended organic matter The most common and proven method is subsurface, using fine air diffusion. Fine air diffusion is preferred as the most efficient method due to its efficiency and lower power costs to operate. Looking for technical information?

About Us Austin Bluewater Environmental Concepts Ltd is a proven leader with over 30 years hands-on experience designing and manufacturing wastewater treatment systems, in New Zealand, for New Zealand. Austin Bluewater Environmental Concepts is a leading manufacturer of specialised wastewater products including treatment systems, septic tanks, water storage tanks, pump stations, grease traps and oil & grit interceptors. Our company’s founder and director Lew Austin, is the innovator of Aerobic Wastewater Treatment Systems in New Zealand and still plays an active role in the direction and supervision of the business. As a business, we actively seek to develop, improve and refine all aspects of our products and manufacturing processes. Respect and care for the environment is our motivation to continue to develop and enhance the treatment of wastewater. All of our products are designed, manufactured and assembled at our own manufacturing facility to ensure consistent quality and durability. Our History Engineering the future of wastewater since the 90's Having been born into a family with over 100 years of drainage pipe manufacturing under their belts, Lew Austin started working in the industry with his father when he was just six years old. So it’s no surprise his first job after leaving school was working for a hydraulic engineering firm. Here he learnt the fundamentals of water - pumping, irrigation etc. In later years, he installed some of Canterbury’s first large irrigators. Later, when Lew moved to a lifestyle block with his young family, he became concerned about the ground water implications from the old-style septic tank and domestic wells on his block. Inspired by other ‘can-do’ Kiwis, Lew retreated to his garage workshop and tinkered with ideas around improving the performance of the wastewater system on his own property. This eventually lead to the formation of his own wastewater treatment company in 1991. He travelled the world researching the latest technology, and made sure the best of this was included in his products. Lew built this business into a highly successful national company, eventually selling to a major national corporate. But, it’s hard to keep a good man down, and after a few years spent establishing a commercial development in Rolleston, and also starting a concrete precast business, Lew’s thoughts turned to wastewater treatment again. More international travel revealed new technology was now available, resulting in a better and more efficient product. These new innovations form the backbone of the Austin Bluewater products, making them the most technologically advanced wastewater treatment systems on the market in New Zealand today.
