CO2 Gas Supply by Means of an Aquarium Pressurized Gas Vessel With a Nutrient Substrate
20230018955 · 2023-01-19 · ·

The present invention relates to an aquarium pressurized gas vessel for supplying an aquarium (12) with CO2 gas generated in the aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10), wherein the aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10) comprises: a receiving vessel (14) for receiving a nutrient substrate and a reactant interacting with the nutrient substrate such that the nutrient substrate and the reactant react with each other to generate CO2 gas; a closing device (16) for closing the receiving vessel (14) in a pressure-tight manner; a gas outflow device (18) for extracting CO2 gas from the aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10) for the aquarium (12), wherein the CO2 gas has a gassing pressure (p_B) when flowing into the gas outflow device (18); a gas vessel pressure regulator (20) for adjusting a gas vessel pressure (p_G) which substantially corresponds to the gassing pressure (p_B).

Further, the present invention relates to a CO2 gassing system (28) comprising the aforementioned aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10).

Systems of gas infusion for wastewater treatment

This application relates to a system of treating wastewater wherein an oxygen infusion system is used to supersaturate wastewater before aerobic biological processes, wherein oxygen is transferred to the wastewater free of oxygen bubbles and achieves a reduction in power demand for the aeration process of wastewater.

Liquid aerator and air compressor thereof

A liquid aeration system includes an air compressor system and a diffuser. The air compressor system includes an air intake manifold, an air compressor, and a compressor inlet line. The compressor inlet line fluidly connects the air intake manifold and the suction inlet of the air compressor. The compressor suctions air from the air intake manifold through at least the suction inlet hose. The compressor compresses the air into compressed air that is supplied to the diffuser.

WATER FILTRATION AND AERATION UNIT
20220402776 · 2022-12-22 ·

A combined water aeration and filtration unit (WAFU), having a tank with a vent section at a top of said WAFU and above an aeration section above a filtration section at a bottom of said WAFU. The vent section has one or more demisters and one or more vents for detraining water and providing a dry air exit from said WAFU. The air section has a water inlet ending in a spray nozzle near the top of the aeration section to turn incoming dirty water into water droplets and a forced air blower on a side or top of the aeration section for blowing air through said water droplets in rate sufficient to remove volatile organic compounds and precipitate manganese and iron. The aeration section also has one or more annular rings or partially annular baffles on an inside wall of the tank to force water from said inside wall into an interior of the tank. Thus, no water escapes aeration. A backwash collection trough and backwash water outlet are positioned above the filtration section for removing dirty backwash water from the unit. The filtration section has one or more filters therein and a drain and clean water outlet near its bottom for egress of clean water from said WAFU.

AERATOR WITH ADDITIVE INJECTOR FOR WASTEWATER PROCESSING

An aerator for treating wastewater is configured to produce air bubbles to mix and circulate wastewater within a treatment facility. Additionally, the aerator is configured to inject additive into the wastewater at the same time as the air bubbles are being produced, so that roiling of the air bubbles and/or circulation induced by the air bubbles rising within the water column facilitates mixing of the additive with the wastewater.

Diffuser for aeration of a fluid

An elongate diffuser (10) comprises a diffuser body (30), and a membrane (20) attached so that introduction of gas at a working pressure into the diffuser displaces part of the membrane (20) from contact with the diffuser body (10) providing an elongate sealed compartment (50) between the membrane (20) and a surface (32) of the diffuser body (30). The gas can pass from the compartment (50) through the membrane (20) for aeration of fluid in which the diffuser (10) is immersed. The diffuser body surface (32) which bounds the compartment (50) is recessed away from the membrane (20) in use, to contribute to the lateral cross sectional area of the compartment (50) and facilitate distribution of gas along the diffuser by the compartment (50). An automatic purge valve for purging water from a gas feed pipe of a diffuser is also disclosed.
