Aeration is a critical component of biological treatment at clean-water facilities. It is also the most energy-intensive process.Aeration typically accounts for more than 50% of a treatment plant’s total energy consumption. That makes it essential to optimize aeration for cost efficiency and environmental sustainability, which includes limiting greenhouse gas emissions.Toward those objectives, Carollo Engineers now offers Inflatable Fast and Lightweight Off-gas Analysis Technology (I-FLOAT), a system designed to monitor oxygen transfer and greenhouse gas emissions from aeration basins and support decisions to maximize aeration efficiency.The system includes a self-contained, ballasted hood that enables the rapid deployment of off-gas sampling equipment
