Diffused Aeration systems use porous or membrane diffusers to release air into the liquid. Key technologies include:
? Membrane Diffusers: Produce fine bubbles, maximizing oxygen transfer efficiency (OTE).
? Jet Diffusers: Create turbulence, enhancing oxygen diffusion.
?????????????????????? ????????????????????:
? Oxygen Transfer Rate (OTR): The amount of oxygen transferred per unit of time.
? OTE: The ratio of actual oxygen absorbed to the theoretical amount supplied.
? Bubble size and distribution: Critical for maximizing the gas-liquid interface.
