Abstract
A method and apparatus of increasing the oxygen transfer rate, residence time, and circulation pathways within waste water is provided. The process uses cyclic bursts of compressed air to establish flow patterns within waste water. The flow patterns increase the residence time of air supplied by conventional aeration sources. The increased aeration facilitates the treatment of the waste water. Additional benefits which result from the process include increased mixing of the waste water along with additional aeration brought about from the cyclic air bursts.
