Water treatment

Why is Oxygen Essential for Wastewater Treatment?

Wastewater treatment relies on aerobic bacteria – these bacteria require oxygen to function effectively. Oxygen is pumped into the wastewater tank to encourage the growth of bacteria and enhance highly bacteriological survival and regeneration.
Using concentrated oxygen for water treatment is a simple, economical process with proven effectiveness. At Novair, we understand the critical role oxygen plays in wastewater treatment. Our advanced oxygen solutions ensure efficient breakdown of organic waste by the millions of beneficial bacteria that live within treatment tanks.

On-Site Oxygen Production Solutions for the Wastewater Treatment Industry 

Optimize your wastewater treatment with Novair’s advanced oxygen solutions. Oxygenation is a game-changer compared to traditional aeration, offering unmatched efficiency for treating wastewater. It’s especially effective for meeting strict discharge limits, even in challenging conditions with limited space. In regions facing water scarcity and growing environmental regulations, Novair’s solutions help you increase plant capacity, cut operating costs, and tackle common issues like foam and odor. Trust Novair to help you meet today’s toughest wastewater treatment demands. 

Boost your Water Water treatment plant's efficiency with pure oxygen technology: 

By introducing pure oxygen for aerobic biological treatment, microorganisms break down biodegradable pollutants more effectively. This process reduces foaming, odors, and VOC emissions while significantly improving oxygen dissolution in water, leading to a substantial increase in plant capacity.

Using pure oxygen cuts power consumption by 50% compared to air, lowering operational and maintenance costs. It also enables smaller plant designs or expanded capacity for existing facilities. Additionally, pure oxygen reduces the growth of filamentous bacteria and foam, delivering a cleaner, more efficient treatment process. 

• Prevent Corrosion and Odors Caused by H2S: Prevent hydrogen sulfide (H2S) emissions and safeguard your system with pure oxygen technology. When dissolved oxygen levels are low, bacteria consume sulfur compounds in pollutants, producing volatile H2S and unpleasant odors. By injecting pure oxygen into wastewater pipes, you maintain aerobic conditions, naturally eliminating H2S, preventing corrosion, and reducing odors without harmful byproducts. Ensure a steady oxygen supply for a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable wastewater management solution. 
• Oxygen Feed Gas for Ozone Generators:

Ozone is a powerful oxidant that effectively removes a wide range of pathogens, including viruses, making it ideal for disinfecting drinking water and wastewater. By using ozone treatments, water treatment operators can reduce or eliminate the reliance on chemicals that may pose health risks. Utilizing oxygen generators for your ozone generation system provides significant advantages over air or liquid oxygen (LOX), including a cost-effective oxygen supply, elimination of LOX boosters and seamless integration with your ozone system. The oxygen purity range from oxygen generators is also optimal to achieve the highest ozone concentrations, significantly enhancing the energy efficiency and overall performance of your ozone generation system.
