, Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The disclosed subject matter relates generally to wastewater treatment systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a floating type aeration system and method for aerating waterbody to treat wastewater or degrading the organic solids across water bodies, for example the lakes or rivers or ponds.
BACKGROUND
[002] Generally, wastewater treatment facilities utilize aeration techniques to treat the wastewater. Aeration of the wastewater has been found to reduce or degrade contaminants or organic waste found in the wastewater by increasing oxygen available to microorganisms which breakdown the contaminants or organic waste during a biological process. Furthermore, bioprocessing is commonly used in the treatment of wastewater. Bioprocessing of wastewater generally occurs in water bodies containing chambers for treating wastewater. Typically, bioprocessing is directed to reduce unwanted impurities or contaminants from the wastewater.
[003] Existing floating biological contactors establish liquid flow and aeration to encourage aerobic bacteria growth on a large surface area to consume organic solids in the wastewater body. Although previously known biological contactors have succeeded to some extent, they have consumed considerable energy and have required expensive maintenance so that cost-effectiveness has left room for improvement. Existing aeration systems are configured to control organisms such that the growth of desired organisms is facilitated, and the growth of unwanted organisms is constrained or prevents, which can be very difficult. However, there is an ongoing need to provide a more efficient system for aerating water-body to treat wastewater or degrading the organic solids.
