Oxygen Transfer

Efficiency Testing

Service Description: Failure of the aeration equipment to transfer enough oxygen result in reduced operating efficiency, treatment capacity and potential NPDES permit violations. The ABS Oxygen Transfer Efficiency Testing (OTET) Study is designed to quantify the amount of oxygen transfer capability of new aeration equipment against design specifications prior to start-up of a plant.

Features: Many companies never test the aeration equipment provided by a vendor and rely upon similar users. Unfortunately, the type of wastewater and plant design are always site specific, which can dramatically depress transfer efficiency. The ABS Oxygen Transfer Efficiency Testing Study provides the client with peace of mind and includes options such as:

• Review of applicability of the aeration equipment

• Desktop analysis comparing alternatives

• On-site testing and recommendations

• Continued technical support

Benefits: The OTET Study can result in improving oxygen transfer efficiencies, treatment capacity and avoiding potential NPDES permit violations. The ABS Oxygen Transfer Efficiency Testing (OTET) Study has many benefits:

1) Independent advice from an operators viewpoint.

2) Avoidance of under designing aeration requirements.

3) Confirmation of consultant and manufacturers specs.

4) Continued technical support.
