Advanced Aeration
Vacuum Bubble® Technology revolutionizes the use of aerobic waste management systems in commercial, residential, agricultural
and industrial applications throughout the world. The technology addresses the problems of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
and waste treatment by improving the performance of aerobic bacteria to consume organic waste.
How it works
The Vacuum Bubble® Technology Aerator, instead of using the compressed air/fine pore system, uses a patented process to
create bubbles in a partial vacuum. The micro Vacuum Bubbles® created in this process average 0.25 mm in diameter.
The small size of the bubble and the low pressure gas it holds create a small buoyancy force (The phenomenon which makes
bubbles rise in a liquid). This buoyancy force is so small that it is less than the surrounding surface tension of the water.
The bubble, in fact does not rise to the surface, but remains suspended in the fluid. This makes all of the oxygen in the
bubble available to be dissolved in the liquid as needed.
By supplying enough oxygen, an aerobic condition is developed. Bacteria that obtain their energy aerobically are much more
efficient. The same organic waste food supply supports a much larger bacterial flora by aerobiosis than anaerobiosis, and
therefore, aerobic decomposition of organic matter is much more rapid. Aerobiosis in activated sludge is substantially
complex in six to eight hours, whereas conventional septic digestion of sewage sludge requires about 60 days. |
