| Description: | Term project from student at RPI in Chemical Engineering. Aeration is web-based software that enhances the user's understanding of aeration. Aeration is the process by which the area of contact between water and air is increased, either by natural methods or by mechanical devices. Ordinary usage in water works practice has however, been given the term in the more limited sense referring specifically to use of mechanical devices or procedures. In this limited sense aeration clearly defines itself as a method of treatment rather than merely a modification of natural conditions at the source of supply. The basic purpose of aeration is the improvement of the physical and chemical characteristics of waters for public supply. Primarily, this improvement involves the reduction of objectionable tastes and odors, but some additional benefits of aeration, as a preliminary step to other purification processes have also been noted. - Aeration in General - Aeration in History Around the World - Montbruel and Ferrand's Project - Aeration in America - Early Apparatus Used for Aeration - Methods of Aeration - Mechanical Equipment Used in Aeration - Air Diffusion Type - Waterfall Type - Spray Nozzle - Air Lift - Iron Removal - Organics Removal - Volatiles Organic Compounds Removal - Uses of Aeration |
