Strip diffusers support remediation of uranium mining legacy

AEROSTRIP strip diffusers from AQUACONSULT Anlagenbau significantly contribute to the remediation of the uranium mining legacy by Wismut GmbH in East Germany. For the past ten years, the AEROSTRIP Q variant, made entirely of plastic and corrosion-free, has provided consistent and reliable aeration of the often heavily contaminated wastewater from industrial landfills at the former uranium ore processing plant in Seelingstädt.

Additional Information: The wastewater to be treated is particularly saline, further acidified, and subject to significant temperature fluctuations. In this challenging composition, the only efficient treatment method was the use of a completely metal-free and durable diffuser variant: the AEROSTRIP Q.
