Aerator:
Aeration facilitates removal of undesirable gases and to add oxygen to convert
unwanted substances to a more manageable form. Further, it helps to treat water
containing CO2 and H2S gases. Among gravity type, diffused air type, spray type, and
mechanical type, the cascade aerator under the first category is commonly considered.

In any adsorption column, the active zone (δ) advances through the bed at
various times. At the beginning of break through level, at which the lower end of δ
barely touches the bottom of the column, the total volume of treated water is
Fn+1 + Fn
Me = Σ (Vn+1 – Vn)
2
where the indices n and n+1 refer to the volume/concentration that broke through
active zone at a time step of ∆t from tn to tn+1. At the time of the completion of
breakthrough, the total mass of fluoride introduced into the influent of active zone (δ)
is (Ve – Vb) (Fo). Hence the mass of the fluoride adsorbed in the active zone (Ma) is
Fn+1 + Fn
Ma is also given by
Ma = As δ ρp (x/m)ult
Where As is the superficial area of the bed, ρp the packed density of the adsorbent, and
(x/m)ult is the ultimate adsorption of capacity of unit mass of adsorbent.
The depth of column and regeneration of flow (v) of water through the
can be designed for practical column is directly proportional to the
application based on the said equation hydraulic gradient (i) ]
be greater than the active zone (δ). The disinfectant action or destruction of
maximum rate of flow can be had only taste and odour may produce high
if the depth of the medium is equal to residuals. The dose of chlorine may be
the active depth (δ) for a given area of as high as 10 to 15 mg/l with a contact
ie Qmax = k A h/δ
systems, a very high dose is applied at generated dissolves in the water and
