By employing innovative design and technology, jet aeration systems offer a range of benefits that directly translate into significant cost reductions in industrial wastewater treatment. This article will explore how these systems contribute to economic advantages in practical terms.
Jet aeration succeeds in many of the areas where diffusers fall short. By leveraging a high-velocity liquid stream combined with air injection, jet aeration systems offer superior oxygen transfer and enhanced mixing capabilities, which improves treatment efficiency and overcomes operational hurdles.
Despite their extensive use and proven effectiveness, jet aerators remain widely misunderstood in the engineering community. This article aims to shed light on the early history, development, and modern-day applications of jet aerators, highlighting their significance in wastewater treatment.
Even the most careful engineer can overlook something that can impede oxygen transfer, including substances used during production, maintenance, and other stages of wastewater treatment. Failing to take these factors into account can cause the treatment systems to underperform and incur unexpected costs.
Ten years ago, KLa Systems was presented with the challenge of finding a more wear-resistant material for our jet aeration nozzles and decided to upgrade to Kynar PVDF, which is extremely chemical and wear resistant.
The Slot Injector™ System is a superior jet aeration system that is specifically applied to industrial biological treatment processes where fine screening is a standard pretreatment operation in both conventional and advanced air activated sludge applications.
