Air flow monitoring

Fluid Components International’s ST98 Thermal Mass Flow Meter when combined with the Vortab Model VIP Flow Conditioner can be used to minimize compressed air energy costs. The flow conditioner can reduce straight-run pipe requirements. The thin, lightweight panel design is easily installed between flanges or can be welded in place. The ST98 offers high accuracy to ±1% of reading, 0.5% of full scale. Repeatability is ±0.5% of reading. This insertion style flow meter can be installed without shutting down the process by using a simple NPT fitting.

Aerators

The Twister® Low Speed Aerator from Aeromix is suited for use in a variety of wastewater treatment processes ranging from activated sludge to oxidation ditches. It is ideal for high oxygen demand biological treatment applications in municipal, petrochemical, pulp & paper and other industries. Designed for long-term continuous operation, the aerator’s hydro-dynamically efficient rotor is constructed of composite material. The rotor is molded to optimize the spray of water droplets resulting in some of the highest oxygen transfer rates of any mechanical aeration system.

Oxygenation system

BlueInGreen® has introduced a new product for aeration/oxygenation applications. The SDOX® delivers a metered stream of water with concentrated DO (310 mg/L) to mix with the wastewater being treated without bubble formation or off-gassing, resulting in nearly 100% oxygen use by the process. An initial installation at a 12 mgd wastewater treatment plant has realized an operating cost savings of $34,000 per year over the previous aerator.

Odor, corrosion control

ECO2 SuperOxygenation technology is an environmentally friendly odor and corrosion control solution that can be applied in force mains or upstream of headworks and primary clarifiers. The system dissolves pure oxygen at >90% absorption efficiency into wastewater under pressure to achieve DO concentrations of 50 to >150 mg/L. It can help eliminate hydrogen sulfide odor and corrosion by dissolving enough oxygen in wastewater to maintain aerobic conditions, which prevents the formation of hydrogen sulfide.
