Pressure
1 PSI = 2.31 ft of water
= 27.72 inches of water
3
= 6.895 x 10 Pascal
= 6.895 k Pascal

= 33.9 ft water
= 760 mm Mercury (Hg)

6.

Concentration
mg/l approximately equal ppm
mg/l x 8.34 x MGD = pounds/day
mg/l x M3/1000 = kg
g/l = 1000 mg/l
3
g/l x m = kg

7.

Energy and Energy Cost


1 Hp = 0.746 kWh
1000 w = 1 kWh
Annual value 1 Hp = Hp (0.746 kW/hp) 24 hr (365 day/yr) x $/kWh
= Hp (6535) $/kwh/yr
Example @ 6/kWh = 0.06/kwh) = $/year
Annual Value 1 Hp = 1 (6535) 0.06 = $392.1/year

8.

Density Air Approximately 0.075 lb /ft


% O2 in Air Approximately = 23%

9.

Oxygen Transfer Rate of Diffuser = Oxygenation Rate


OTR Approximately = scfm air (1.036) SOTE = lb O2/hr
Example Airflow = 200 scfm & diffuser efficiency 22%
OTR = 200 scfm air (1.036) 0.22
= 45.58 lb O2/hr

10.

Oxygen Transfer Efficiency


Efficiency/m as %= Em = % SOTE/m submergence
3
gm/M air per M submergence = 1.036 (Em) 1000/2.206 (1.7)
3
Em as % = gm/ M air per meter (2.2046) 1.7 / 1.036 (1000)
Em = SOTE/Ft (3.2808)
