A submersible, free-standing Landia Air Jet has significantly helped the owners of a popular tourist attraction in Ireland with the management of the site effluent treatment plant.

At one of Ireland's most ancient and stunning caves, a submersible, free-standing Landia Air Jet has significantly helped the owners of the popular tourist attraction with the management of the site effluent treatment plant. Aillwee Cave, which is situated in the Burren in County Clare, attracts 180,000 to 200,000 visitors every year - but as with many tourist attractions, visitor numbers can be unpredictable, causing irregularities for their effluent plant balance tank, as Nick Johnson, managing director, explains: 'When the plant was running at typical levels it worked quite efficiently', he said, 'but when it wasn't being fed continuously with the right amount of liquor, we had problems'. He added: 'The Landia Air Jet has successfully kept the balance tank aerated and homogenised, giving us much better management of our effluent treatment plant, as well as removing any unpleasant odours.

It is fair to say that without the Landia aeration equipment, which is proving very reliable, we may have been forced to change the effluent plant completely'.

The Landia DG-I Air Jet (3.0 kW), which was supplied through Fergon Enterprises, is a highly effective non-blocking system that is very easy to install in aeration or storm water retention tanks, and requires no ancillary equipment.

One of the key attractions on the inspiring, almost moonscape Burren, which is a paradise for geologists, botanists, ornithologists, speleologists and archaeologists, Aillwee Cave treats visitors to a guided, informative walk through 1.3 km of passageways, where they can see animal remains, waterfalls and numerous spectacular cave formations.
