Mechanical aeration organic

Short-circuiting is one of the major problems associated with mechanical aeration equipment. Combined mechanical- and diffused-aeration systems have enjoyed some popularity for industrial-waste systems that treat variable organic loads. The mechanical mixers provide the fluid mixing with the diffused aeration varied for different oxygen-transfer rates. 

The purification of these residuals by an aerobic treatments forced by a floating mechanic aerators, with a high pH for add of lime, gets a drastic reduccion in the mentioned pyrazines but show a nearly null efficaey into the removal of another organic constituents. 

Transfer from the water column to the atmosphere may also occur by the formation of droplets formed as breaking waves create a spray. This is responsible for the transmission of sodium chloride into coastal areas. Bursting of bubbles at the water surface may cause very small water droplets to be propelled into the atmosphere, whereupon they become permanently incorporated into the atmosphere by turbulent eddies. This is most likely to occur in water bodies where there is significant anaerobic methane formation, or in biological oxidation units in which there is deliberate mechanical aeration of the water. It is noteworthy that such droplets may be enriched in solutes which preferentially associate with surface organic microlayers.
