Aeration Towers Water Treatment
Aeration brings water and air in close contact by exposing drops or thin sheets of water to the air.
Aeration towers water treatment. Aeration is the most economical method to initiate the oxidation process for water treatment. All of deloach industries packed towers are available in different types and sizes. Air is supplied to the aerator that is installed over the bottom. Aeration is the process of bringing water and air into close contact in order to remove dissolved gases such as carbon dioxide and to oxidize dissolved metals such as iron.
Air binding of filters. Packed tower aeration is widely used in water treatment fields because of increasing concern and regulation of vocs in drinking water. The process of maintaining the oxygen saturation levels of water in natural as well as artificial environment is termed as aeration. Water is pumped to the top and allowed to cascade down through the rising air.
The need to aerate the water is normally driven by the need to oxidize iron fe and or other naturally occurring elements found in water. F orced draft aeration towers and degasification systems from kch engineered systems are designed to meet the demands of municipal drinking water treatment plants. It can also be used to remove volatile organic chemicals voc in the water. Aeration towers are inexpensive structurally simple and functional pieces of equipment that can be advantageously used for pre treatment of raw water in processing it to drinking water all this without any chemicals used.
In the aerator the air is mixed with water and this mixture of air and water is distributed via the aerator nozzles to the surrounding oxygen free environment. Aeration is often the first major process at the treatment plant. Packed tower stripping generally consists of packing materials with high surface area supported and contained in a cylindrical shell. Aeration water treatment is effective for management of dissolved gases such as radon carbon dioxide some taste and odor problems such as methane and hydrogen sulfide as well as volatile organic compounds like mtbe or industrial solvents it is also effective in precipitating dissolved iron and manganese aeration raises the ph of water.
Aeration towers with an aerator are mainly used to oxygenate the water column. Tower to induce air from the bottom of the tower. Carbon dioxide reduction decarbonation oxidation of iron and manganese found in many well waters oxidation tower ammonia and hydrogen sulfide reduction stripping aeration is also an effective method of bacteria control. Aeration as a water treatment practice is used for the following operations.
Kch also designs and manufacturers air strippers to remove vocs thm carbon dioxide and other.
