Project Background

The Herzliya Wastewater Treatment Plant is a central pillar in the region’s environmental infrastructure, carrying critical responsibility for treating contaminated water and converting it into clean, safe water suitable for reuse. Wastewater treatment is a complex, multi-stage process, at the heart of which lies the ability to break down and separate organic and inorganic pollutants from the water.

As part of this process, wastewater is directed into large treatment basins where specialized bacteria “consume” organic matter and assist in its decomposition. To enable these bacteria to function optimally, the water must be enriched with a precise amount of oxygen. This is where aeration systems based on compressed air come into play. The injected air creates bubbling that both supplies essential oxygen for the biological process and helps lift and separate impurities from the water, ensuring an effective and stable treatment outcome.

Automation Yeruham has been supporting the Herzliya Wastewater Treatment Plant for over a decade, a long-term partnership built on trust, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the client’s needs and processes. After years of successful collaboration, the client requested to extend the agreement for an additional ten years, alongside a clear requirement to maintain the existing screw blower technology and control system. The extension of such a long-term agreement is a strong testament to the quality of the solutions delivered over the years, the high level of service, and Yeruham Automation’s ability to provide reliable, stable, and long-term solutions for critical systems.

What is the solution that we have developed for the costumer?

The main challenge of the project was to deliver an advanced system that meets exceptionally stringent requirements. First and foremost, the solution needed to ensure continuous, uncompromising reliability over time. In addition, the client required the preservation of the plant’s energy efficiency while maintaining optimal performance. This included the implementation of a smart control system capable of dynamically managing operations, adapting to changing plant conditions, and reducing both energy consumption and operating hours.

The solution provided by Automation Yeruham was a comprehensive turnkey project, covering all stages-from characterization and engineering to equipment supply and installation-while ensuring uninterrupted plant operation throughout the process. As part of the project, three oil-free screw blowers, model ZS 200 VSD by Atlas Copco, among the most advanced in the world, were installed. These blowers are specifically designed for applications requiring high and stable airflow over extended periods.

Advantages of the solution

    1. High reliability and continuous operation – The system is designed for long-term, uninterrupted performance, even under complex operating conditions.
    2. Significant energy savings – The integration of advanced blowers with a smart control system optimizes energy consumption and reduces operating costs.
    3. Stable performance and high treatment quality – Precise and consistent air supply supports the biological process, ensuring efficient and uniform wastewater treatment.
    4. Dynamic adaptation to changing conditions – An intelligent control system responds in real time to process variations, managing the system in the most optimal way.
    5. Installation without plant shutdown – The project was implemented while maintaining full plant operation, with no downtime or disruption to ongoing processes.

     

    The project at the Herzliya Wastewater Treatment Plant clearly demonstrates the value that Automation Yeruham brings to its customers-not merely as an equipment supplier, but as a full technological partner. The company supports its clients, delivering precise solutions tailored to the unique needs of each application. The combination of extensive experience, deep understanding of industrial processes, advanced technologies, and reliable 24/7 professional service enables Automation Yeruham to lead complex projects and achieve proven, measurable results in the field.
