Abstract:

The first version of a new deep aeration system has been built for Orgamol SA, a chemical plant in the Rhone valley, Switzerland. Construction, operation and oxygen transfer mode of the deep-shaft aeration are presented and explained. The results of a two year exploitation period are interesting. They show high COD and BOD elimination in this single stage and a number of other advantages. They also show how to best design the next two deep-shafts for the 2nd stage. The system is patented in Europe, USA (US Nr. 4,392,954) and Canada.
