In-Pipe increases operating efficiency by reducing influent organic loading and the costs associated with sludge handling and disposal, expensive chemicals, and energy usage.

The reduced loading at the plant, coupled with a more efficient microcosm reduces aeration requirements and provides significant energy savings.

Figure 2 illustrates a 56% average reduction in Total Sludge produced at a 35 MGD municipal client using In-Pipe treatment. It compares the same 8 months in the year before and during In-Pipe treatment.

Figure 3 depicts accumulated energy savings for a 7 MGD municipal plant using In-Pipe, which enabled the facility to operate without a 500 horsepower (HP) air compressor that previously ran 24/7 for digester aeration.
