Summary:Traditional aerated wastewater treatment systems work by reducing the oxygen demand of the wastewater by dissolving the oxygen found in the air as much as possible to encourage the growth of natural micro organisms or bacteria that cleanse the water and remove organic and other contaminants. The new system works in the same way, but uses high purity oxygen to aerate the wastewater, providing increased capacity due to the faster rate of oxygen dissolution.
