Wastewater, also called sewage, is water that has been polluted by human activities in their residences, businesses, and industrial plants. There is a wide range of contaminants present in wastewater, so it must undergo treatment to remove those impurities, before it reaches rivers, lakes and other bodies of water.

This process of purifying wastewater is called wastewater treatment and it is the major element of controlling pollution. There are four systems of treating wastewater – biological, chemical, physical and sludge treatments. Aerobic wastewater treatment is a part of the biological process, which uses oxygen to break down the nitrogen, phosphorous pollutants, and the organic contaminants. Air is mixed into the sewage continuously, using a mechanical device called surface aerators.

Aerobic wastewater treatment is used typically as a secondary treatment stage; after initially removing the larger contaminants. This technology is very efficient in breaking down wastes that are laden with organic matter, so this process which uses surface aerators is great to use to treat wastes generated by industries, such as food, beverage, wineries, oil, gas, chemical manufacturing, municipal industries, pulp, and paper mills.

If you’re looking for a supplier of surface aerators for your aerobic wastewater treatment, you can rely on By-Jas Engineering. We have more than 30 years’ experience, carrying out custom designs and manufacturing surface aerators, for aerobic wastewater treatment, for a range of applications.

If you’re wondering how surface aerators work, below is a brief description:

The surface aerator system pushes water up into the air, from under the surface of the water. As the droplets fall back into the water, it mixes with oxygen. The pumping action of this aeration device is so powerful that it breaks the wastewater into a spray of particles, driving oxygen into the wastewater. How well these devices work depends on the amount of contact between water and the air. The device sits on the surface, so this is very successful in introducing oxygen to the wastewater.

Besides being used in the aerobic wastewater treatment, surface aerators are also beneficial to keep bodies of water circulating, keep it odour free and healthy. If you’ve recently noticed the water features at public parks or golf courses, they are good examples of surface aerators.
