<p>A method and device for reducing the amount of hydrogen sulphide in wastewater in a tank (1), in which a flow is diverted from said tank, and the flow is oxygenated by contact with an oxygen-containing gas. The flow is then returned to the tank (1) above a liquid level in the tank (1).
Since the flow is returned above the surface, the flow can be driven by a conventional sewage pump, which is considerably cheaper than the compressors normally required to return oxygenated water below the surface. It has also been found that a better oxygenating effect is provided if the flow is returned to the tank above the surface, resulting in an increased reduction of hydrogen sulphide.
The diversion of a flow from the tank is controlled based on the measurements of hydrogen sulphide amount in the tank. Due to introducing a measuring means and control unit connected with a sewage pump, the oxygenation takes place only when necessary, which optimizes the process.</p> |
