Wastewater Treatment Components
Air Blowers and Aeration Systems
Aeration and mixing of biological
reactors can be achieved by using air blowers submersible
aerators, or surface aerators.
|

Air Blowers:
Air blowers are used in supplying
air to the aeration tank in the STPs, they also used to provide
air if needed to the equalization tank, lift station, air lift
pump, and for air scouring of the media filters. They range from
positive displacement types for ranges up to 3000 m3/hr to
centrifugal types for larges sizes. They can be equipped for sound
enclosure to limit the noise level .

Submersible Aerators:
Self-aspirating submersible
aerators for wastewater and water treatment in municipal and
industrial plants. Main areas of application are mixing and
equalization tanks, activated sludge tanks, SBR-reactors and
sludge storage tanks at a water depth between 2 and 9 m (7 - 30
ft).
The aerator is free standing on the bottom of the basin and hence
can be installed without emptying the basin.
The aerator is characterized by a
very low noise level and no aerosol formation. The aeration
produces fine bubbles and the oxygen transfer factor is high. |

Venturi Jet Aerator:
Ideal for mixing combined with aeration of wastewater containing
sewage, offal, organic industrial effluent, slurry, etc. Also for
use in balance tanks where a combination of mixing and aeration
reduces septicity and smells. Other uses are in cleaning of storm
water tanks. Especially suitable for emergency or intermittent
aeration tasks. The venturi-jet is based on the injection
principle and an effective air-water mix is produced which results
in optimum aeration and suspension of solids.

Surface
Aerators:
Designed at various standard sizes, they provide
required oxygen for specified application. Power range from 5.5
kW-75 kW. They are also available with floating system.
The surface aerators are mainly used at water
purification plants for the biological treatment of the wastewater
and at lagoons.
They can be both stationary and floating; the floating version
consists of a floating system to which the aerator is fixed. |
