Aeration Water Treatment removes certain dissolved gases and minerals through oxidation. Once oxidized, these chemicals fall out of solution and become suspended material in the water which can then be removed by filtration.
Aeration treatment consists of passing large amounts of air through water and then venting the air outside. The air causes the dissolved gases or volatile compounds to be released from the water. The air and the contaminants released from the water are vented. In the case of iron and manganese, the air causes these minerals to move from their dissolved state to a solid state and precipitate out of solution. The water can then move through a filter to trap the iron and manganese particles.
