Create a DiffusedAeration object by specifying either an oxygen mass transfer coefficient (KLa or KLa_20), or air flow rate at field condition (Q_air) and reactor volume (V). DiffusedAeration is a subclass of Process.

Parameters:

  • ID (str) – A unique identification.

  • DO_ID (str) – The component ID of dissolved oxygen (DO) defined in the WasteStream objects.

  • KLa (float, optional) – Oxygen mass transfer coefficient at field condition, [1/d]. A user-defined value of KLa supersedes values calculated with other parameters.

  • DOsat (float, optional) – Surface DO saturation concentration at field condition, [mg/L]. A user-defined value of DOsat supersedes values calculated with other parameters.

  • KLa_20 (float, optional) – Oxygen mass transfer coefficient at standard condition (20 degree C, clean water, new diffuser), [1/d]. The default is None.

  • Q_air (float, optional) – Airflow rate at field conditions, [m^3/d]. The default is None.

  • V (float, optional) – Reactor volume, [m^3]. The default is None.

  • DOsat_s20 (float, optional) – Surface DO saturation concentration at standard condition (20 degree C, 1 atm, clean water), [mg/L]. The default is 9.09.

  • alpha (float, optional) – Wastewater correction factor for KLa_20, unitless. The default is 0.6.

  • beta (float, optional) – Wastewater correction factor for DOsat_s20, unitless. The default is 0.95.

  • F (float, optional) – Diffuser fouling factor for KLa_20, unitless. The default is 1.0.

  • theta (float, optional) – Temperature correction factor for KLa_20, unitless. The default is 1.024.

  • d_submergence (float, optional) – Diffuser submergence depth, [m]. The default is 5.

  • fine_pore (bool, optional) – Whether the diffuser type is fine pore (fine bubble). The default is True.

  • elevation (float, optional) – Diffuser elevation, [m]. The default is 0.

  • T_air (float, optional) – Air temperature, [K]. The default is 293.15.

  • T_water (float, optional) – Water temperature [K]. The default is 293.15.

  • SOTE (float, optional) – Standard oxygen transfer efficiency (as a fraction), unitless. The default is 0.3.

  • CF1 (float, optional) – Oxygen gas content in standard air, [g O2/m3 air]. The default is 277.6533841.
