Reactor and process for wastewater treatment

摘要

A reactor (100) is incorporated within a small-scale waste water treatment assembly and has a housing (1) enclosing a compressed air supply (3). A combined water baffle and drainage panel is located above the air (3) and is inclined with respect to the surface of the water. The panel has apertures (14) positioned exactly above the air (3) outlet (12). The distance between the two sets of apertures (14, 12) is pref. 0.2 to twice that of the air tube diameter. The air pipe (3) surrounds a propeller and is fed by a compressed air tube. The ratio of the pipe (3) cross sectional area to that of the housing (1) is between 0.02 and 0.35.
