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
