Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of electronics, mechanics, renewable energy, aquaculture, biology and chemistry, since it provides a floating autonomous mechanism to aerate bodies of water.
- Aeration is the process used to mix, circulate, or dissolve air within a liquid or other substance.
- Aeration mixers or diffusers are used to expose sewage or dirty water to the air. When air is added, some of the gases in the water are released, such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, the latter responsible for the bad taste and smell of water.
- Oxygen bubbles through water also keep the material organic suspended while forcing the grains of sand and other small and dense particles to deposit. They are subsequently pumped out of the tanks and taken to the landfills. The process also oxidizes dissolved metals and can remove some volatile organic chemicals from water. Once oxidized, the chemicals are suspended in the water and can be removed by filtration.
- Air is not usually used in water systems for water treatment, but instead it is used for aeration of activated sludge.
- Technologies include pressure aerators, which introduce water into the air at high pressure or in porous stones to add oxygen to the water; and the extraction of air that is used to remove volatile organic chemicals such as benzene and trichlorethylene.
- aeration devices include cascading aerators, which mimic the flow of streams, adding air when water splashes, cone aerators, in which water cascades from top to bottom through a cylindrical device, and plank and coke aerators, which is a system of plank trays that are filled with coke, rock, limestone to provide greater contact surface between air and water.
- suction and spray aerators are two more technologies in this category that use blown or sprayed air. These technologies are effective in the oxidation of iron and manganese that could be found in feedwater.
- a problem that is generated with the addition of oxygen to water is that the increase in dissolved oxygen, while bringing many benefits, including improving the taste of water makes water more corrosive. This can cause damage, for example, to copper or other metals that may be found in the pipes.
- aeration is also used in related processes and is often an integral part of a treatment plant.
- the aerators can be used in conjunction with various other technologies such as suction nozzles, aerobic sludge digesters or batch sequence reactors.
- the aerators can also be used to remedy or even keep water bodies circulating in a healthy and odor-free way, as is the case with golf courses or public parks.
- aeration is normally the first process of a set of several steps, which help eliminate water components that could otherwise cause problems in the water treatment process.
- Water may contain gases, either naturally, or as a byproduct of some chemical or biological reaction.
- gases that could include carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide or radon
- basic aeration equipment The physical process of aeration usually cascading or spraying removes gases from the water, allowing them to escape into the air.
- Diffusers or submersible mixers which come into contact with water, are other of the aeration equipment normally used. The bubbles created add air to the water, giving gas the chance to dissipate. If the aeration has been successful, the water should have no taste or smell after treatment. The efficiency of aeration depends almost entirely on the amount of contact surface between air and water.
- Aerators can be used with other types of water treatment technologies, including sequential batch reactors or aerobic sludge digesters. Although many aeration technologies use ambient air, some rely on compressed air for their operations. Water bodies, whether natural occurrence or man-made ones, need oxygen to maintain their ecological balance. When there is not enough oxygen, bacteria and algae become a problem. Mechanical aeration, often using a floating aerator, can reduce the amount of chemicals needed to treat the body of water by providing the oxygen that bacteria need to continue functioning properly.
- the base cost associated with air extraction systems refers to electrical energy, used to drive the pumps and air blowers that perform this purification.
- contaminated and / or oxygen-free water is extracted through a conduit within a submerged chamber held adjacent to the surface of the body of water.
- Water is oxygenated from three sources: air injected into the duct to attract water to the submerged chamber, diffusion of air from the surface of the water body; and air injected into a lower portion of the chamber.
- the hydrogen peroxide flows down from the chamber through a submerged biofilter that has a filter bed made of filter media that can be pre-inoculated with beneficial microorganisms and essential nutrients.
- the transported or floating vascular plants can be inserted into the chamber to improve purification by fixing metals.
- organic sludge can also be aspirated into the chamber for biodigestion by continuous or intermittent supply of microbial cultures specifically grown to optimize the production of enzymes that solubilize the organic sludge.
- the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) for sludge solubilization is satisfied by the aeration and biological filtration capacity of the apparatus.
- Said method and apparatus are designed to provide a stable working environment in open water bodies. They can also be used to achieve hypolytic aeration in a lake.
- patent application number US5595691 was found, with a publication date of February 28, 1998, and entitled “AIR SUPPLY APPARATUS FOR POND FISHERIES (Air supply apparatus for fishing in ponds) ", which describes an air supply apparatus for fishing in ponds that includes a frame, the frame consisting of two vertical tubes, two extension tubes respectively and inserted by sliding them in the vertical tubes, securing means for blocking the tubes extension in the vertical tubes to the desired elevation, a transverse grid connected between the extension tubes on an upper side, a lower cross tube connected between the vertical tubes on a curved lower side and a crossbar connected between the vertical tubes by above the lower transverse tube; flotation means fixed to the upper transverse grid to support the structure in the water of a breeding pond; an air pump means mounted on the upper transverse grid and having an air outlet orifice connected to the lower cross tube by an air tube; a plurality of air distributors respectively connected to the lower transverse tube to allow air to be forced from the air pumping means into the breeding pond

MECANISMO AUTÓNOMO FLOTANTE PARA AIREAR CUERPOS DE FLOATING AUTONOMOUS MECHANISM FOR AIR BODIES
AGUA WATER
CAMPO TÉCNICO DE LA INVENCIÓN TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se relaciona con el campo técnico de la electrónica, la mecánica, las energías renovables, la acuicultura, la biología y la química, ya que aporta un mecanismo autónomo flotante para airear cuerpos de agua. The present invention relates to the technical field of electronics, mechanics, renewable energy, aquaculture, biology and chemistry, since it provides a floating autonomous mechanism to aerate bodies of water.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
La aireación es el proceso utilizado ya sea para mezclar, circular, o disolver aire dentro de un líquido u otra sustancia. Aeration is the process used to mix, circulate, or dissolve air within a liquid or other substance.
En realidad, encontramos agua aireada todos los días. La mayoría de los grifos de agua están equipados con un aireador para suavizar el flujo de agua. Un ejemplo claro es el Jacuzzi, usado comúnmente para hidroterapia, y que utiliza la agitación del agua. El concepto surgió a partir de la tecnología de la bomba de inyección de los hermanos Jacuzzi. Sus bombas, patentadas en 1927, fueron utilizadas en el riego y han revolucionado la disponibilidad de agua para usos domésticos . Actually, we find aerated water every day. Most water faucets are equipped with an aerator to soften the flow of water. A clear example is the Jacuzzi, commonly used for hydrotherapy, and which uses water agitation. The concept arose from the technology of the injection pump of the Jacuzzi brothers. Their pumps, patented in 1927, were used in irrigation and have revolutionized the availability of water for domestic uses.
No obstante, la aireación se utiliza con frecuencia como un método secundario en el tratamiento de las aguas residuales . Los mezcladores o difusores de aireación se utilizan para exponer las aguas residuales o el agua sucia al aire. Cuando se agrega aire, se liberan algunos de los gases del agua, tales como el dióxido de carbono y el sulfuro de hidrógeno, este último responsable del mal sabor y olor del agua. However, aeration is frequently used as a secondary method in wastewater treatment. Aeration mixers or diffusers are used to expose sewage or dirty water to the air. When air is added, some of the gases in the water are released, such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, the latter responsible for the bad taste and smell of water.
A medida que la materia orgánica se desintegra, utiliza oxígeno. La aireación repone el oxígeno. Las burbujas de oxígeno a través del agua también mantienen el material
orgánico suspendido mientras que obligan a los granos de arena y otras partículas pequeñas y densas a que se depositen. Posteriormente son bombeados fuera de los tanques y llevados a los rellenos. El proceso también oxida metales disueltos y puede eliminar algunos químicos orgánicos volátiles del agua. Una vez oxidados, los químicos quedan suspendidos en el agua y pueden ser eliminados por filtración. As organic matter decays, it uses oxygen. Aeration replenishes oxygen. Oxygen bubbles through water also keep the material organic suspended while forcing the grains of sand and other small and dense particles to deposit. They are subsequently pumped out of the tanks and taken to the landfills. The process also oxidizes dissolved metals and can remove some volatile organic chemicals from water. Once oxidized, the chemicals are suspended in the water and can be removed by filtration.
Hay dos tipos de aireadores que se utilizan en forma convencional en el proceso de aireación. There are two types of aerators that are used conventionally in the aeration process.
Uno introduce aire al agua por medio de pequeñas burbujas. No se suele utilizar aire en los sistemas de agua para el tratamiento de agua, pero en cambio sí se lo utiliza para la aireación de los lodos activados . Las tecnologías incluyen a los aireadores de presión, que introducen agua en el aire a alta presión o en piedras porosas para agregar oxígeno al agua; y la extracción de aire que se utiliza para eliminar los químicos orgánicos volátiles tales como el benceno y tricloroetileno. One introduces air into the water through small bubbles. Air is not usually used in water systems for water treatment, but instead it is used for aeration of activated sludge. Technologies include pressure aerators, which introduce water into the air at high pressure or in porous stones to add oxygen to the water; and the extraction of air that is used to remove volatile organic chemicals such as benzene and trichlorethylene.
El otro método de aireación crea diminutas gotas de agua que caen en cascada a través del aire. Este sistema es muy común en los sistemas de tratamiento de agua. Estos tipos de dispositivos de aireación incluyen aireadores en cascada, que imitan el fluir de las corrientes, agregando aire cuando el agua salpica, aireadores de cono, en los que el agua cae en cascada desde arriba hacia abajo a través de un dispositivo cilindrico, y aireadores de tablones y coque, que es un sistema de bandejas en tablones que están rellenas con coque, roca, piedra caliza para brindar mayor superficie de contacto entre el aire y el agua. Hay dos tecnologías más en esta categoría que utilizan aire soplado o pulverizado: aireadores de succión y de rociado. Estas tecnologías son eficaces en la oxidación del hierro y manganeso que podrían encontrarse en el agua de alimentación.
Un problema que se genera con el agregado de oxígeno al agua es que el aumento del oxígeno disuelto, a la vez que trae muchos beneficios, incluyendo el mejoramiento del sabor del agua vuelve al agua más corrosiva. Esto puede provocar daños, por ejemplo, al cobre u otros metales que puedan encontrarse en las tuberías. The other method of aeration creates tiny drops of water that cascade through the air. This system is very common in water treatment systems. These types of aeration devices include cascading aerators, which mimic the flow of streams, adding air when water splashes, cone aerators, in which water cascades from top to bottom through a cylindrical device, and plank and coke aerators, which is a system of plank trays that are filled with coke, rock, limestone to provide greater contact surface between air and water. There are two more technologies in this category that use blown or sprayed air: suction and spray aerators. These technologies are effective in the oxidation of iron and manganese that could be found in feedwater. A problem that is generated with the addition of oxygen to water is that the increase in dissolved oxygen, while bringing many benefits, including improving the taste of water makes water more corrosive. This can cause damage, for example, to copper or other metals that may be found in the pipes.
Se han creado diversas tecnologías basadas en estos conceptos fundamentales, por ejemplo, aireadores sumergidos diseñados para mantener el flujo de las aguas profundas o aireadores de aire difuso que perturban el agua superficial. La efectividad de estos procesos depende totalmente de la superficie de contacto entre el aire y el agua. Various technologies based on these fundamental concepts have been created, for example, submerged aerators designed to maintain the flow of deep water or diffused air aerators that disturb surface water. The effectiveness of these processes depends entirely on the contact surface between air and water.
Además de ser una etapa clave en el tratamiento de agua, la aireación también se utiliza en procesos afines y con frecuencia es una parte integrante de una planta de tratamiento. Los aireadores pueden utilizarse junto con otras diversas tecnologías como ser bocas de succión, digestores de lodos aerobios o reactores de secuencias por lotes. In addition to being a key stage in water treatment, aeration is also used in related processes and is often an integral part of a treatment plant. The aerators can be used in conjunction with various other technologies such as suction nozzles, aerobic sludge digesters or batch sequence reactors.
Los aireadores pueden utilizarse también para remediar o aún mantener a los cuerpos de agua circulando en forma saludable y sin olores, como es el caso de los campos de golf o los parques públicos . The aerators can also be used to remedy or even keep water bodies circulating in a healthy and odor-free way, as is the case with golf courses or public parks.
Los ejemplos de aireación abundan en la naturaleza, cuando el agua cae o se pulveriza en el aire. Las cascadas y los afloramientos rocosos, el viento y las olas son todos procesos de aireación natural. Examples of aeration abound in nature, when water falls or is sprayed into the air. Waterfalls and rocky outcrops, wind and waves are all natural aeration processes.
Inspirados por estos procesos naturales, los seres humanos crearon tecnologías de aireación tales como bombas, fuentes y burbujeadores sumergibles para unir en forma mecánica al agua y el aire.
En el tratamiento de aguas residuales, la aireación es normalmente el primer proceso de un conjunto de varios pasos, que ayudan a eliminar componentes del agua que de otra forma podrían ocasionar problemas en el proceso de tratamiento de agua. Inspired by these natural processes, humans created aeration technologies such as pumps, fountains and submersible bubblers to mechanically bind water and air. In the treatment of wastewater, aeration is normally the first process of a set of several steps, which help eliminate water components that could otherwise cause problems in the water treatment process.
El agua puede contener gases, ya sea en forma natural, o como un subproducto de alguna reacción química o biológica. La remoción de estos gases que podría incluir al dióxido de carbono, sulfuro de hidrógeno o radón requiere un equipamiento de aireación básico. El proceso físico de aireación generalmente en cascada o pulverización elimina gases del agua, permitiendo que escapen hacia el aire. Los difusores o mezcladores sumergibles, que se ponen en contacto con el agua, son otros de los equipamientos de aireación que normalmente se utilizan. Las burbujas creadas agregan aire al agua, dándole al gas la oportunidad de disiparse. Si la aireación ha tenido éxito, el agua debería no tener sabor ni olor luego del tratamiento. La eficiencia de la aireación depende casi por completo de la cantidad de superficie de contacto entre el aire y el agua. Los aireadores pueden utilizarse con otros tipos de tecnologías de tratamiento de agua, incluyendo reactores de lotes secuenciales o digestores aeróbicos de lodos. A pesar de que muchas tecnologías de aireación utilizan el aire ambiental, algunas se basan en el aire comprimido para sus operaciones. Los cuerpos de agua, ya sea los de ocurrencia natural o los producidos por el hombre, necesitan oxígeno para mantener su equilibrio ecológico. Cuando no hay suficiente oxígeno, las bacterias y algas se vuelven un problema. La aireación mecánica, frecuentemente utilizando un aireador flotante, puede reducir la cantidad de productos químicos necesarios para tratar el cuerpo de agua brindando
el oxígeno necesario que las bacterias necesitan para continuar funcionando adecuadamente. Water may contain gases, either naturally, or as a byproduct of some chemical or biological reaction. The removal of these gases that could include carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide or radon requires basic aeration equipment. The physical process of aeration usually cascading or spraying removes gases from the water, allowing them to escape into the air. Diffusers or submersible mixers, which come into contact with water, are other of the aeration equipment normally used. The bubbles created add air to the water, giving gas the chance to dissipate. If the aeration has been successful, the water should have no taste or smell after treatment. The efficiency of aeration depends almost entirely on the amount of contact surface between air and water. Aerators can be used with other types of water treatment technologies, including sequential batch reactors or aerobic sludge digesters. Although many aeration technologies use ambient air, some rely on compressed air for their operations. Water bodies, whether natural occurrence or man-made ones, need oxygen to maintain their ecological balance. When there is not enough oxygen, bacteria and algae become a problem. Mechanical aeration, often using a floating aerator, can reduce the amount of chemicals needed to treat the body of water by providing the oxygen that bacteria need to continue functioning properly.
El costo base asociado con los sistemas de extracción con aire se refiere a la energía eléctrica, utilizada para accionar las bombas y los sopladores de aire que realizan esta purificación. The base cost associated with air extraction systems refers to electrical energy, used to drive the pumps and air blowers that perform this purification.
