A wide range of water and sewage treatment services including sludge and aeration treatments.

For a wide range of water and sewage treatment services including sludge and aeration treatments, By-Jas Engineering Pty Ltd is the obvious choice. Our custom design, manufacture and installation service takes care of all of your requirements from start to smoothly operating finish. Alongside the nuts and bolts of our operation, clients can also utilise our waste advisory service (WAS).

Apart from the obvious environmental concerns that arise from dealing with and treating sewage, there are certain monetary impacts that are well worthy of consideration. For a modest amount of expenditure invested in WAS, we are confident that we can identify the most economical and effective methods to deal with liquid waste.

If correctly applied, the application of WAS can be a valuable tool for anyone involved in sewage treatment especially where industrial fluid waste is concerned. For us, it is an invaluable device that can easily be incorporated to assist us at the design phase of our client’s turkey liquid waste projects.

We offer a wide range of quality, water/sewage treatment services by qualified, trained staff.

  • Examination of mains water usage to effect direct economies in consumption
  • Examination of water quality requirements throughout the factory with a view to the possible re-use of effluent after appropriate treatment
  • Examination of discharges with a view to
  • Reducing the volume and/or strength of discharge
  • Segregating those requiring varying types of degrees of treatment, or none at all
  • Retrieving valuable constituents
  • Assessment of design parameters
  • Recommendation of treatment processes considered most suitable
  • Preparation of outline plant specifications
  • Preparation of detailed specifications
  • Negotiation with regional and local authorities
  • Appraisal of schemes emanating from other sources
  • Plant commissioning
  • Technical assistance with plant operation and control
  • Investigation of any operating problems irrespective of the plants origin

By-Jas Waste Water Treatment Plant

Aerators in Action: Myrtleford Victoria

The issue

The town’s sewage and also the effluence from a paper mill were being discharged into a primary and secondary lagoon system. The water surface of the primary lagoon had become covered with a floating fibrous mass and a serious odour problem existed.

The solution

By-Jas Engineering provided an installation consisting of six 15kW aerators. The units were brought into use in 1975 and are still in use today.

The result

In less than 3 weeks the floating material had disappeared and with it the unpleasant odour.

A closer look at the anti vortes/anti scour plate this shows how it is firmly bolted into place protecting the floor of the lagoon from damage and ensuring mixing of the top layer of the lagoon.

Our water aeration systems are built around our in-house designed and manufactured mechanical aerators in Australia

We are the aeration specialists for the whole of Australia. Call the water aeration professionals at By-Jas.

By-Jas aeration

Our water aeration systems are built around our in-house designed and manufactured mechanical aerators. These are installed within the system as either conventional bridge mounted units or floating assemblies. Designed for longevity and minimum maintenance, they also offer very economical power consumption characteristics.

The larger floating systems incorporate an inbuilt stability that makes them highly suitable for lakes and rivers including waterways that are susceptible to tidal flow effects. When they are installed in rectangular sludge tanks or purpose built channels, these units give the plant designer a wide scope of configurations options using multiple units.

Surface aeration   

The beauty of the By-Jas cone aerator is that it works in such a way as to increase surface aeration by drawing fluid up and mixing it efficiently with a great amount of force. This process puts oxygen back into the depleted water faster by passing it over the surface cone design and exposing it to the air.

The By-Jas floating aerator is particular successful in this process because, by the very nature of its design, the unit is always on the surface of the water.

By-Jas floating aerators

The benefits of the By-Jas floating aerator come in both cost-saving and operational forms. With the absence of complex fixed constructions such as bridges and reinforced concrete tanks, the savings on installation more than stand up for themselves.

In operation and application, they come out on top again because they are suitable for a whole range of applications. They can be easily and effectively tethered, making them a flexible stand alone unit. The 3 pod flotation unit with ballast tanks is effective in high winds and turbulent conditions whilst the catamaran design used in less volatile environments is also virtually unsinkable.

A range of waste treatment products that can be supplied and installed across Australia.

Mechanical details

By-Jas aerator impellors are configured in a one clockwise and other anticlockwise pair for maximum agitation and turbulence of the water. This effect causes fluid to pass rapidly over the cone, placing large volumes of water in contact with the atmosphere for efficient aeration.

The gearboxes and all other components are locally manufactured making all the parts readily available and service for the units is also available 24/7. Maintenance can be carried out without bringing the units ashore and the Borg Warner transmissions have a bearing life of L10˃100.000 hours. The gearboxes are filled with oil and lubricated by grease with lubricant loss through the bottom seals being highly unlikely.

The pontoons are filled with polyurethane foam and all of the parts are coated with 3 coats of epoxy paint immediately following manufacture. Hot dip galvanisation treatment is also available as an option and all the hardware including bolts, nuts, washers and rivets are in fact treated by this process.

Aerator selection   

Our expert team calculate the ideal configuration of units to achieve the optimum BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) versus the ideal consumption of power. This calculation offers the most environmentally and energy friendly results that will make ongoing savings over the lifespan of the installation.

Flexibility

Power output and multi unit configuration is only one half of the By-Jas story. The input of oxygen into the fluid can be adjusted over a wide parameter by merely altering the submersion level of the aerator unit.
