VIBRATION CONTROLLED DESIGN  

The continuous heavy-duty operating life of rotating equipment, such as a wastewater aerator, demands a vibration-limiting design that will assure smooth operation long after the unit has been installed. The velocity must be controlled to 0.3in/sec. or less. If this limitation is not met, early machine failure is inevitable.

Proper design and the use of the highest quality materials have made the Aqua-Jet aerator the most durable and reliable wastewater aerator in the industry. On properly maintained units, Aqua-Jet aerators outlast other aerators 2 to 1. On poorly maintained aerators, Aqua-Jet aerators outlast other aerators by more than a 3 to 1 margin. Scheduled maintenance consists only of motor bearing lubrication 2-4 times per year, depending on motor size.

      

APPROVED FOR TTHM STRIPPING APPLICATIONS

The Aqua-Jet aerator has been approved by UL to meet ANSI/NSF STANDARD 61 requirements for use in potable water applications. The approval includes 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, and 15 HP units designated as model SS-PW and can be utilized for TTHM stripping applications or circulation in potable water treatment systems and reservoirs with a minimum volume of 100,000 gallons.

                                                                                 

TTHM stripping involves the removal of Total Trihalomethane (TTHM), which represents a group of volatile organic compounds formed by the interaction of organic precursors in raw source water and free chlorine added for disinfection.

The Aqua-Jet aerator model SS-PW offers a lower cost aeration solution for TTHM stripping applications from the perspective of capital, installation and operating cost when compared to diffused, or other spray forms of aeration.

TECHNICAL PRESENTATION DISCUSSES RESULTS OF A ONE-YEAR STUDY

A technical presentation, Aeration Strategies for THM Control, was given by Jacobs Engineering Group on March 9, 2011 as part of the DBP Compliance Approaches webcast that was broadcast by American Water Works Association (AWWA)*. The Jacobs Engineering Group presentation discussed the evaluation of several aeration methods for THM reduction in potable water applications collected from a one-year study. The AquaJet surface aerator model SS-PW was one of the methods evaluated and proved to be an efficient strategy for reducing THMs.  The testing also concluded that the Aqua-Jet aerator offers the lowest capital and operating cost compared to the other forms of aeration tested.
