10022688 · 2018-07-17 · ·

An aeration system may have a submersible aerator that may be located on the bottom of a body of water and a floating aerator that may operate directly above the submersible aerator. The submersible aerator may create a laminar column of bubbles and may be powered by an air compressor. The floating aerator may use a motor driven propeller to agitate water on the water surface. A controller may determine when to operate the aerators, and may operate them separately or together in some instances. Some embodiments may have a controller that operates the aerators differently based on energy supply, which may vary in solar powered systems with a battery bank.

20180185794 · 2018-07-05 ·

The present invention relates to a reaction device with air-lift type internal circulation which includes:a vertical cylindrical volume;a vertical element positioned within said volume in such a way as to form an interspace with the walls of said volume, having a cross-section which is circular and orthogonal to the vertical axis of the element and with a variable internal diameter along said axis, said element being denoted draft tube;at least one gas distributor positioned on the bottom of said device; said device being characterised in that:the ratio between the diameter of the internal vertical element and the internal diameter of the cylindrical volume ranges from 0.05 to 0.5, andthe ratio between the height of the vertical element and the height of the cylindrical volume is less than 0.5.

EQUIPMENT AND PROCESS FOR MASSIVE DISSOLUTION OF GASES IN LIQUIDS

Equipment for massive dissolution of gases in liquids via the formation of thin liquid films and the exchange of gases with said films. The equipment provides movement of liquids over great distances via the upward movement of bubbles therein. The equipment can alter the direction of the flow of water, said aspect being useful for the recovery of liquid bodies. In addition to providing a high rate of dissolution of gases in liquids, the equipment is very energy-efficient and has a very large volumetric capacity, thereby being useful for the preservation and/or recovery of liquid bodies, being able, in certain applications, to operate in an energy-autonomous manner. The equipment can be used in situations where energy-efficient dissolution of gases in liquids is desired, such as the preservation and/or recovery of liquid bodies; processes for preserving and/or improving the productivity of aquaculture systems; wastewater treatment systems; and the fixation of gases.

Submersible aerator
09968895 · 2018-05-15 ·

A submersible aerator apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus uses injected air to create both aeration and mixing of a liquid. The apparatus is submersible and may be lowered into a container holding a liquid with suspended and coagulated solids. Air supplied to the apparatus is injected into the liquid which results in an upward flow of air bubbles and entrained liquid. This action mixes and aerates the liquid. A method of using a submersible air-injection aerator is also disclosed.
