DO analyzer

The ABB 4640 Series Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Analyzer measures and transmits the DO value for aerated digester operations. The analyzer offers advanced functionality in a compact package. It is suited for operation in harsh environments, simple to install and use, and requires minimal maintenance. Associated with the system, the ABB Model 9408 sensor takes the form of a relatively large ball floating on the wastewater surface. A flat-ended disposable DO capsule sits within the ball, flush with its bottom surface. The small capsule consumes reagents slowly, requiring replacement about every 9-12 months. To replace the capsule, users simply unscrew the existing capsule and replace it with a new one. The sensor connects with the ABB 4600 Series Universal Transmitter, which provides the operator interface and communicates to other devices.

Aeration system

The Mazzei® Injector Co. has announced the introduction of its new Pipeline Flash Reactor™ aeration system that can eliminate the need for a wastewater aeration basin. The system provides rapid oxygen transfer within a compact footprint. It uses a small sidestream to draw in ambient air through a Mazzei injector. The aerated sidestream is then delivered to the Pipeline Flash Reactor where it aggressively mixes with the main flow, uniformly transferring the oxygen in the effluent pipeline.

Gas flow meter

The new ST50 Remote Mount Flow Meter from FCI is suited for wastewater aeration applications. With its no-moving-parts, thermal mass flow sensor design, the flow meter measures air flow from 1 to 125 SFPS (0.3 to 38 NMPS), nitrogen from 1 to 150 SFPS (0.3 to 46 NMPS) and compressed air from 4 to 400 SFPS (1.2 to 122 NMPS). The ST50’s Remote Mount transmitter, which includes a full digital display, can be mounted up to 50 feet away from its thermal mass flow sensor in the process piping.

Jet aeration

MTS/Mass Transfer Systems designs and manufactures the MTS jet aeration product for industrial and municipal water and wastewater treatment. The technology uses two phase jet nozzles to supply atmospheric oxygen to recirculated liquid in a proprietary mixing system. Recirculated liquid is pumped through the inner, primary nozzle creating a high velocity liquid stream while air is fed into the secondary outer nozzle. The high velocity liquid stream shears the air into a turbulent, fine dispersion of gas and liquid. The oxygen rich gas/liquid plume is discharged through the secondary nozzle, entraining the surrounding liquid.
