How Diffused Aeration Works
Diffused aeration systems introduce air into water through fine-pore diffusers, creating small bubbles that rise slowly, maximising contact time and oxygen transfer efficiency. This supports biological treatment by supplying the necessary oxygen for microbial activity, breaking down organic pollutants effectively. Compared to surface aeration, fine-bubble aeration provides greater efficiency, reduced energy use, and more uniform oxygen distribution.Â
FAQs
Why is diffused aeration more efficient than surface aeration?
Diffused aeration generates fine bubbles with a higher surface area, increasing oxygen transfer efficiency while using less energy compared to surface aerators.
What maintenance is required for aeration systems?
Routine inspections, diffuser cleaning, and occasional membrane replacements help maintain system efficiency. FILTEC offers servicing to ensure long-term reliability.
Can aeration systems be used in all wastewater treatment applications?
Yes, aeration is suitable for activated sludge systems, aerated lagoons, and industrial wastewater treatment processes requiring efficient oxygen transfer.
How does aeration impact overall treatment performance?
Proper aeration enhances biological activity, improving pollutant breakdown while stabilising treatment processes and preventing odour issues.
What factors influence oxygen transfer efficiency?
Bubble size, water depth, diffuser design, and airflow rate all affect oxygen transfer efficiency. FILTEC provides expert guidance to optimise aeration system performance.
