Why is oxygen important in wastewater?
Wastewater contains high levels of organic material that must be broken down by bacteria. These bacteria require oxygen to function effectively.
What happens without enough oxygen?
Low oxygen leads to anaerobic conditions, which cause:
- Strong odours
- Slow waste breakdown
- Poor treatment performance
How does aeration improve treatment?
Aeration supplies oxygen to support aerobic bacteria, increasing treatment efficiency and reducing odour naturally.
