• (SAE) into clean water 1.8 kgO2/kW/hr
• 0.7 to 2.7m diameter
• Bridge mounted or floating
|
General Description:
The TMA Aerator is a vertical shaft surface aerator which provides
a mechanical means of oxygen transfer to sewage or industrial effluent.
Manual, or any required degree of automatic control can be provided,
including adjustment of aeration intensity by dissolved oxygen monitoring.
The TMA Aerators are easily constructed and are available for conventional
bridge mounting, on tripods with light access bridges, in simple rectangular
tanks or channels which can vary in size and arrangement.
TMA Vertical Shaft Aerators can be installed in any configuration
within aeration lanes thereby offering a broad range of treatment
capabilities from small communities to major installations.
Design:
Biwater TMA aerators provide sufficient oxygen input and maximum mixing
characteristics with a minimum expenditure of power. The proven operating
characteristics mean that the installations are simple, inexpensive
and efficient.
Complete mixing and appropriate circulation velocities though the
aeration tanks are achieved with the robust non-clog design. |
Process:
Oxygenation of the fluid promotes cultivation and reproduction of
micro-organisms which carry out the treatment process by breaking
down organic matter.
Oxygenation also re-establishes dissolved oxygen levels in the final
effluent in order to sustain plant and animal life when discharged
into rivers and lakes etc.
Vertical shaft aerators achieve oxygen transfer by developing a large
interface between air and liquid so that oxygen can diffuse from the
air into the liquid. In achieving this it is necessary to prevent
local build up of oxygen concentration by promoting good mixing within
the liquid.
The TMA Aerator satisfies both these criteria by drawing up sub-surface
liquid and discharging it in heavy torrents, thus creating heavy turbulence
upon striking the liquid surface with great force.

Technical Data:
Biwater Treatment offer a standard design of TMA Aerators in the range
of 4KW to 110KW. All aerators are guaranteed for the standard aeration
efficiency (SAE) into clean water (at 15 Deg. C) of 1.8Kg02/kW/hr
(based on motor shaft power).
Splash protection can also be provided in the form of GRP or steel
covers.
Full scale test conditions can be simulated
for the majority of aerators at Biwater’s purpose built research
test facility.
