Aqua-Aerobic Aqua-Jet - Model SS-PW -Surface Mechanical Aerator
The Aqua-Jet SS-PW surface aerator is Certified to NSF/ANSI 61 by UL 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 THM stripping applications or circulation in potable water treatment systems and reservoirs with a minimum volume of 100,000 gallons. THM stripping involves the removal of Trihalomethane (THM), 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 THM stripping applications from the perspective of capital, installation and operating cost when compared to diffused aeration or other spray aeration products.
Basin water is pumped up into the intake cone and through the volute, and is dispersed through the diffusion head in a spray pattern.
Oxygenation occurs at two critical points:
- When the water exits the diffusion head, and
- When the spray enters the water surface
