Article: Oxygenation performance of a laboratory-scale Speece Cone hypolimnetic aerator: preliminary assessment.(Technical report)

Abstract: A prototype laboratory-scale Speece Cone hypolimnetic aerator was used to examine the effect of oxygen input rate and outlet port water velocity on oxygen transfer, using four standard units of measure for quantifying oxygen transfer: (i) the oxygen transfer coefficient at 20 [degrees]C, [K.sub.L][a.sub.20] ([h.sup.-1]); (ii) the standard oxygen transfer rate (SOTR) (g [O.sub.2]*[h.sup.-1]); (iii) the standard aeration efficiency (SAE) (g [O.sub.2] kW*[h.sup.-1]); and (iv) the standard oxygen transfer efficiency (SOTE) (%). The maximum inlet velocity (i.e., 70 cm*[s.sup.-1]) was only 23% of the recommended design velocity (i.e., 305 cm*[s.sup.-1]), and the ...
