Wastewater - Aeration

Case Study: Mazzei Aeration System Solves Lagoon Odors And High Maintenance Problems A large vegetable processing facility in central Minnesota was experiencing problems with its lagoon surface aerators. The company’s treatment process includes a collection and screening assembly, two anaerobic stabilization ponds and a 40 million gallon aerated lagoon. By Mazzei Injector Company, LLC
Case Study: Supplemental Aeration System Reduces High BOD Levels And Solves Odor Issues A leading fruit juice company had expanded over the past ten years and increased wastewater flow from 7,000 to 11,000 gallons per day (gpd), without upgrading its wastewater treatment plant. By Mazzei Injector Company, LLC
Feature Installation: City Of LaGrange Wastewater Treatment Facility, KY LaGrange Utilities Commission operates a 775,000 gallon (2934m³) per day wastewater treatment facility located northeast of Louisville, near the I-71 and KY 53 interchange.
Saving 50% In Aeration Energy Expenses By Switching From Mechanical Aerators To An Ultrafine Bubble Aeration System Owned by a government’s agency in charge of generating and distributing electricity to 27 million customers, a wastewater plant, located in Hidalgo, Mexico treats municipal sewage and uses the treated water for cooling towers. But as the population grows and the plant generating capacity expands, so does the demand for more water.
Lagoon-Based Extended Aeration System Meets Effluent Requirement For Year-Round Ammonia Reduction In Stoddard County, MO, the sewer district required a new wastewater treatment facility to service residential growth in the community. By Environmental Dynamics, Inc.

A common first step in the secondary treatment process is to send wastewater to an aeration tank. In an aeration tank, bacterium is used to effectively break down pollutants into less harmful components. Wastewater aeration provides the appropriate oxygen level so that aerobic bacteria can thrive in degrading pollutants such as iron and manganese as part of the wastewater treatment process. Aeration can also be used to destroy anaerobic bacteria that perish in the presence of oxygen. Aerobes that can break down pollutants 10-100 times faster than anaerobes are used most frequently.

Aeration is also used to improve waste lagoons and other waterways such as lakes and reservoirs where oxygen deficiency contributes to taste, odor and pollutant problems. Equipment used for wastewater aeration includes low cascades, jet fountains, spray nozzles, blowers, submerged perforated pipe and porous plates or tubes. Whether the water is thrown into the air via a fountain or diffused by air bubbles being blown or drawn into the wastewater in an aeration tank, aeration works by increasing the area of contact between the oxygen in the air and water.

The most common wastewater aeration process in use today is the air diffusion process, where air is introduced from blowers through diffusion tubes suspended in a spiral flow tank, or in some cases, through diffuser plates in the bottom of the aeration tanks.
