Process solution
The waterworks company has its own techniques to analyse if the raw water flow requires any additional oxygen supply. If so, the flow through a water channel is measured and its signal is forwarded to an E-8000 readout and control unit that transmits the set point value to the splash proof thermal mass flow controller. The oxygen mass flow is proportionally related to the flow in the water channel and has a value in the range of 10 to 133 normal liters of oxygen per minute.
The supplied oxygen is generated by air separation by means of pressure swing adsorption (PSA). An electronic pressure controller is used to set the pressure in a buffer tank prior to the mass flow controller. This device supplies the correct amount of oxygen to the water, about 10 to 133 ln/min is dosed, free of oil and grease.
Aeration (simply said; adding oxygen to water) is a rather natural way to remove dissolved iron from raw water, without the use of additional chemical compounds. This technique can also be applied to remove dissolved manganese from raw water to some extent. First the oxidised iron and manganese deposits on a filter, and then it is removed from the filter by backwashing.
The configuration as provided here can be a solution for waterworks companies that need additional water aeration, as well as for oxygen producing companies (e.g. by pressure swing adsorption PSA) that need a controlled way to supply the produced oxygen in a wide range of mass flow or volume flow.
