Installation of fine bubble aeration for municipal wastewater treatment Aquafin

Published February 14, 2026

An important part of the Evergem sewage treatment plant: introducing oxygen into the water flow to be treated in order to create optimal decomposition conditions. Verhoeve Belgium carried out this assignment as an integrated and general contract involving various disciplines!

In 2022, Verhoeve Belgie BV was commissioned by Aquafin to construct a new fine bubble aeration system in Evergem. The commission included the supply and installation of:

• Propellers/mixers with accessories
• Fine bubble aeration and accessories
• Surpressor installation including all kinds of above-ground and underground pipes

Project completion phase

After starting preparations at the end of 2022, we are now in the final phase of this Aquafin project. This project was divided into three different lots: architecture, electromechanics, and the installation of fine bubble aeration.

Our work involved installing a blower building, installing the piping, the Aumas and the surpressors, and of course the aeration fields.

After extensive testing and measurements, we are now in the final phase and the work will be completed in March.
