Diffused Aeration
Diffused aeration is a process used in wastewater treatment to introduce air into water. This method involves using a system of air diffusers, which release tiny bubbles of air into the water. The bubbles rise to the surface, increasing the oxygen levels in the water, which is essential for the growth of beneficial bacteria that help break down organic matter.
This technique is commonly employed in sewage treatment plants and aquaculture systems. By enhancing oxygen transfer, diffused aeration improves the efficiency of biological processes, leading to cleaner water and healthier aquatic environments. It is a cost-effective solution for maintaining water quality.
