Oxygen surface transfer device.

CHEMICALS & ENVIRONMENT

The mixed stream is optimally directed downward by

means of a powerful impeller, insuring excellent transfer
of oxygen to mixed liquor.

VENTOXAL™
Pure oxygen and oxygen enrichment are well-established
approaches to biological treatment for municipal or industrial
effluent. Oxygen enrichment, which combines air and
oxygen allows easy implementation while providing the
advantages of oxygen in terms of capital, operating costs
and process characteristics.
A unique feature of using oxygen
(99% oxygen) compared to air (21%
oxygen) is the highest level of dissolved
oxygen that can be achieved. This
results in higher oxygenation capacity
and mass transfer. With air at 1 atm, the
dissolved oxygen solubility saturation at
86°F is ~7 ppm. With oxygen under
the same conditions, it is ~34 ppm.
Advantages
• Increased BOD loading up to 100%
• High MLVSS: 6,000 to 8,000 ppm
• Reduced (2-4x) land required for
the biological tank depending on
the depth (for new or pure oxygen
systems)
• Less aerosols, VOCs and odors,
since the nitrogen stripping effect
is decreased
• Increased sludge settleability as a
result of higher quality floc
• Lower sludge production
• Less energy required per ton of
BOD removed
• Increased dissolved oxygen ensures
that biological floc is always aerobic
2 (including pump)
Balanced filamentous growth. TURBOXAL™
VENTOXAL directly and immediately delivers the necessary dissolved oxygen to the
activated sludge. This is due to the high rate at which pure oxygen can be transferred
to the mixed liquor. Consequently, the biological flocs rapidly assimilate the oxygen Designed to float at the surface of your basin or lagoon,
and can be maintained continuously under aerobic conditions. The degree of this equipment is a compact oxygen transfer system.
