Liftable Grids

Liftable grid design

for the aeration of activated sludge tanks

General Information

General details In addition to our broad range of diffusers, liftable grids by Supratec ensure the extremely safe operation of your plant as well as making the plant very easy to handle. Liftable grids are an advantage in situations where the plant operation must not be interrupted due to maintenance work or where the tank cannot be emptied.

Liftable grids by Supratec are available in many common dimensions and can be used for almost all tank geometries. The optimum lifting system can be chosen plant-specifically from different grid versions and implemented for individual designs. Both single grids and multiple grids can be installed and give you a significantly greater flexibility for your aeration requirements.

Functionality

The grid designs are suspended in fixed guide rails above the water level and then lowered into the tank using a truck-mounted crane with a cross arm. Special designs allow the implementation of a system for lifting the grid without the need for a truck-mounted crane. The design is correctly positioned on the tank bottom with the help of fixed Y-stands whose centring mechanism guarantees the safe positioning even if the grid is lowered at a slight offset. The stands also absorb any lateral forces in the event that mixers are used. Any buoyancy of the design is counteracted by means of weights or by locking the grids. In this way, the safe position of the grid is guaranteed for all operating conditions.

In order to carry out cleaning or maintenance work, the aeration system can be lifted out of the tank in a very short period of time so that easy access to the aeration system outside the tank is ensured.
