Aeration and Water Quality
Weather, temperature and salinity all affect the quantity of dissolved oxygen found in a water body. Cold, fresh water holds more oxygen than warm or salty water.
Pumping water to bottom
Mechanical (Surface) Agitation
Fountain
Injectors
Diffusers
Salinity, phosphates, pH levels, alkalinity, nitrates, chlorides and turbidity all affect water quality.
The factors of importance relating to the efficiency of a aeration system are:
– bubble surface area
– contact time
– amount of water that the bubbles move (circulation)
– energy consumption
Stratification, in terms of temperature and dissolved nutrients in water, can lead to the development of toxic algal blooms and a general deterioration of water quality.
