Summary
• The venturi aeration process is simple, easy to
install into existing systems, has no moving
parts.
• The mechanical energy is derived from the
pump accelerating the liquid through the
venturi nozzle creating the vacuum to aspirate
ambient air into process liquid.
• The venturi aeration process provides many
enhancements to existing wastewater
treatment systems and their performance.
