VorTech Water Solutions (VWS) solves energy intensive municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. Wastewater treatment has a massive energy footprint, consuming 1-2% of the world’s electricity. This is being continuously intensified by population growth and increasingly stringent treatment regulations. A significant contributor to the energy demand is the aeration process in biological treatment, accounting for up to 1% of the world’s electricity, which continues to employ outdated and inefficient aeration technologies. Energy efficiency has never had sufficient focus in the design of aeration systems. The Vortex Power Aerator, a novel wastewater aeration technology that massively reduces the energy of wastewater aeration has been developed to reduce the footprint of these processes. VorTech Water Solutions specialises in providing energy efficient water and wastewater solutions together with high-value services such as computational fluid dynamics and process modelling to maximise treatment performance at the lowest energy input. With years of expertise in fluid dynamics, wastewater process, control, and energy, we have developed the Vortex Power Aerator, cyclonic aeration approach which massively reduces the cost of aeration by up to 50%.

So much to do. So little time. Vortech Water Solutions are calling on the water community to come together so we can make a real difference, fast. I will be at three global events on three continents over three weeks, to spread this word. Solutions already exist for many of our current global wastewater challenges. Let's empower engineers across the world to embrace change and take action.
Take the "Waste" out of "Wastewater" and what do you get? 🚰 🌍 We see it now every day on the news: 🚱 Sewer overflows are causing serious pollution incidences worldwide 🚱 Infrastructure and equipment required to treat wastewater is ageing considerably, and in many locations, plants are at capacity 🚱 Water demand is increasing whilst fresh water availability is dwindling, with a large part due to this pollution The urgent problem is that our populations and wastewater production is growing rapidly, yet environmental regulation needs to get tighter and tighter. We have to do a lot more with our existing infrastructure. And somehow, on top of all this, we still have to find a way to connect 46% of the world’s population (that right now do not have access to sanitation) into wastewater treatment infrastructure. How do we solve this problem? We need to increase wastewater treatment capacity, quickly and efficiently! 🚰 🌍 We are seeing the amazing work of utilities, industry, designers, consultants, DBOs/EPCs (and many more!) all around the world in responding to these challenges and taking action. To support this global call to action, Vortech is bringing the next generation platform of wastewater treatment technologies to help these organisations in accelerating the deployment of wastewater treatment capacity at lower costs. We are thrilled to announce that we have officially launched our new website and brand identity! Our refreshed look, inspired by the magic of vortex flows at the heart of our technology, was beautifully crafted by Tomorrow Creative Services. Visit our website below to learn more about our technology platform that is accelerating the deployment of wastewater treatment capacity to take the "Waste" out of "Wastewater".
The WETEX 2024 event is off to a great start. A clear interest in the region for vortex powered aeration.

Inspirational words on the water industry from our commercial director John McConomy from a desert in UAE! If attending WETEX in Dubai this week, stop by the Vortech Water Solutions Booth 4E-32 to see how our technology is solving challenges at the heart of wastewater treatment.

During the Industrial Water & Wastewater Management Summit, John McConomy, Commercial Director at Vortech Water Solutions Ltd. and Chairman of the event, delivered an insightful presentation titled "Zero Downtime and Consistent Performance: Wastewater Aeration for 50 Years. Is it Possible?" His presentation explored: • Empowering engineers to embrace change and make impactful advancements in the sector • Vortex Powered Aeration: A groundbreaking technology revolutionizing wastewater aeration • Maximizing existing assets for greater efficiency and performance • Real-world examples through case studies As the bronze sponsor of the event, VorTech is leading the charge with its innovative solutions for the water and wastewater treatment industries. Their Vortex Powered Aeration Standard (VPA-S) uses vortex fluid dynamics to enhance aeration processes, significantly reducing operational costs and extending plant lifespans. With successful implementations across the globe, from Ireland to Australia, VorTech is setting new standards for wastewater treatment. Special mention also goes to Fergus Clifford, P.Eng., Operations Manager at VorTech. #WastewaterManagement #VortexAeration #WaterTechnology #Sustainability #IndustrialWater #ZeroDowntime #VorTech #WaterInnovation #FrankfurtSummit #EfficientWaterTreatment

Will you make it to the WETEX 1-3rd October at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai? Sean Mulligan, VorTech Water Solutions CEO and I look forward to discussing the latest class of wastewater aeration at the region’s largest sustainability & clean energy technology exhibition. If you're not making it to Future Bright in Germany or WETEX in Dubai, tell me we'll see you at Water Environment Federation 2024 in New Orleans.
📢 📢 🌊🌊 VorTech solves challenges for a global soft drink manufacturer🌊🌊📢 📢 For those who missed it earlier this week, hear from Fergus Clifford, P.Eng. and Alan Carty in this short video case study. The video showcases how VorTech Water Solutions' Vortex Powered Aeration (VPA) delivered consistent and efficient wastewater aeration for a global soft drink manufacturer to significantly lower ongoing wastewater treatment operational costs by 40%. Special thanks to Ward and Burke (and E Lally Ltd) for their quality project delivery and installation once again! VPA fine bubble aeration and mixing technology is defying expectations of seasoned designers, by performing exceptionally well in higher mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentrations such as those found in MBRs, where traditional fine bubble systems struggle. In this project, VorTech VPA: 🏗 👷♀️ Took 1.5 days to install per unit, reducing installation time by 80% ⚡ 🌍 Reduced electricity and carbon emissions by 30% 👨🏭 👩🏭 Reduced maintenance costs by 90% (with zero maintenance required in the last two years!) 🤝 ⛑ Significantly improved operational safety with no tank draining or hazardous confined space entry required for future inspections. When you combine high-performance wastewater treatment with consistent energy efficiency over time (no fine pores to clog!) and no core unit maintenance year after year, only enabled by VorTech VPA, total costs of wastewater treatment operations can be transformed!

This short case study video showcases how VorTech Water Solutions' Vortex Powered Aeration (VPA) delivered consistent and efficient wastewater aeration for a global soft drink manufacturer, and significantly lowers ongoing maintenance costs. VPA fine bubble aeration and mixing technology is defying expectations of seasoned designers, by performing exceptionally well in higher mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentrations where traditional fine bubble systems struggle. With VPA, high alpha values are consistently maintained. When you combine high-performance wastewater treatment with the fact that VPA’s efficiency remains stable over time (no fine pores to clog!) and that the core unit requires no maintenance year after year, it becomes clear that current design standards may need to be redefined.
