Aeration tanks play a crucial role in wastewater treatment processes, particularly in the activated sludge method. These tanks provide the necessary environment for aerobic microorganisms to thrive and effectively break down organic matter, resulting in purified water. In this article, we will explore the significance of aeration tanks, their functioning, and the advantages of using Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks in this context.

Understanding Aeration Tanks:

Aeration tanks are biochemical reaction tanks where microorganisms, air, and water come into contact and mix. The key purpose of these tanks is to supply oxygen to bacteria, enabling them to decompose pollutants in wastewater. This process promotes the removal of organic matter, improving water quality.

Functioning of Aeration Tanks:

In aeration tanks, bacteria utilize supplied oxygen to biodegrade carbon-containing organic matter, producing carbon dioxide and water. Sufficient oxygen levels are essential for bacteria to biodegrade efficiently within a reasonable time frame. Without enough oxygen, degradation occurs slowly under septic conditions, leading to odor issues and incomplete pollutant conversion.

Advantages of Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Tanks:

Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks, also known as glass-lined steel tanks, are an optimal choice for aeration tanks due to their superior corrosion resistance and durability. These tanks offer several advantages:

Short construction period and cost-effectiveness.

Service life of over 30 years with minimal maintenance.

Easy installation and expandable tank volume.

Customizable tank colors for aesthetic appeal.
