Description:
It is estimated that 50-90 percent of the power cost for wastewater treatment is for aeration. ine pore diffusion presents the opportunity to significantly reduce these costs due to its oxygen transfer efficiency. his report provides the latest information on pertormance potential, requirements and costs for installation in new municipal wastewater treatment plants as well as retrofitting existing facilities, and describes the requirements for an operation and maintenance program. lthough not a design manual, this document will assist practicing engineers in the selection, specification, design, and control of fine pore aeration systems.
