Advantages of BAYER Tower Biology
30 – 50 % less groud space than conventional
Optimal Layout system with large open surface
All tanks are above ground

Standard tank construction allows for

conventional welding and lining procedures
Simple Construction
No complicated internal structure
(no draft tubes - no sieve plates)

No rotating parts in aeration tank and clarifier

High Availability Operational design based on 30 years
of owners experience

Optimized investment and operational costs

General Description of BAYER Aeration System

The BAYER Slot Injector is the main part

of the BAYER Aeration System.

Birkenbeul, BTS-PME-IS-WWT
Page 12; 2012-11-09
 Hydrodynamic principles of BAYER Slot Injector

• The kinetic energy of the liquid

breaks the gas into fine bubbles
(d<0.15mm)

• Air is not compressed in the liquid

phase but dragged by the propelling
water

Page 13; 2012-11-09
Advantages of BAYER Areation System

3.2 to 3.8 kg O2 / KWh

High Efficiency in waste water over long operational time!
No Clogging

Made of Polypropylen.
High Availability High restistance against corrosion and erosion
Long operational time without maintenance.

Wide operation condition:

High Flexibility Oxygen Input from 60 to 140%
Easy to extend with further Injectors

Low operational costs
