| The
Venturi Aeration Wastewater Conditioner is a unique apparatus
designed for injecting atmospheric oxygen into any liquid or
sludge using the venturi principle. Wastewater, the motive fluid,
is pumped through the high velocity nozzle into a low velocity
mixing and oxidizing chamber where it is turbulently mixed with
aspirated air. The hydraulic shear effect within the device
reduces organic solids to macroscopic size as it releases and
oxidizes imbedded gasses trapped within the organic solids.
The device has both high alpha and beta values necessary for
transferring oxygen into a liquid because the mixing occurs
within the device itself.
The
Venturi Aeration Wastewater Conditioner is neither a diffused
air device that brings the air to the water, nor is it a mechanical
aerator that brings the water to the air. It is a device that
utilizes "micro sized bubble diffusion" along with
a hydraulic shear, under two atmospheres of pressure, to produce
a well mixed, highly conditioned liquid.
The
wastewater is pumped through a Venturi Aeration Conditioner
at a hydraulic gradient of 20 psig at the inlet and mixed,
under pressure, at an air to liquid ratio of 2:1. This oxygen
saturated liquid is continuously being discharged, and replaced
by an oxygen deficient liquid resulting in well conditioned
wastewater, that overcomes the resistance of the two film
interface (air-liquid) that exists with a partially oxygenated
wastewater.
