Abstract:Fine-pore diffusers are the most common aeration system in municipal wastewater treatment plants. Fouling is inevitable and inexorable for all types of fine-pore diffusers, and is dependent on process layout, water quality, diffuser type, and time in operation, but independent of diffuser make and model. The decline in diffuser performance, resulting in increased aeration energy footprint is reflected onto the standard oxygen transfer efficiency (SOTE, ratio of oxygen transferred to the wastewater per unit oxy… Show more
