Landia mixers and aerators help leather effluent

Tough, durable pumps and mixers from Landia are helping a leading supplier of high performance leather refurbish the company effluent plant and improve their already high environmental standards

Tough, durable pumps and mixers from Landia are helping a leading supplier of high performance leather enhance its objective of continually improving its already high environmental standards.

At Pittards Shoe and Leathergoods division in Leeds, refurbishment of the company effluent plant has recently included the installation of three Landia Air Jets, with one in each of two aeration tanks (mounted externally), whilst one submersible Air Jet, combined with a Landia 150rpm Submersible Mixer (mounted inside a balance tank), are improving aeration, with the added benefit of keeping solids in suspension.

Designed with a special chopping system for use in harsh environments, the Landia Air Jet is very low on maintenance, even in this demanding leather industry application where large dry-matter particles are common.

As well as reducing unpleasant odours, Air Jet can also provide supplementary aeration during peak periods of effluent oxygen demand.

Pittards has an ongoing commitment to adapt and change manufacturing processes to benefit the health and safety of its employees and the impact of its operations on the environment.

The introduction of Landia equipment has already improved the consistency of the wastewater discharge.
