Swirl aerators feature a simple structure. They save energy and achieve efficient oxygen utilization, and are widely used as oxygen supply equipment in domestic sewage and organic chemical wastewater treatment systems. Below is an introduction to the handling methods for clogged swirl aerators.
1.Pickling in a large tank or aquaculture pond. Pour 5% dilute sulfuric acid into the tank or pond. Immerse the clogged microporous aeration tubes in the dilute sulfuric acid solution for 12 hours, then take them out and rinse thoroughly with tap water.
2.High-pressure air cleaning method using a portable air compressor with a pressure of 0.8–1 MPa. Operating procedure: Remove the plastic hose connected to the microporous aeration tube or aeration plate from the float tank, and connect it to the air compressor outlet. Start the air compressor. Stop the compressor after adjusting according to the aeration condition on the water surface. High-pressure air flushing requires careful attention. Air reducing adapters and all joints must be tightly fastened with hose clamps.
The above are the solutions for clogged swirl aerators. In short, do not panic when encountering this problem. These methods can effectively resolve the issue.
