Design and Analysis of a Novel Air Bubble Curtain for Mixing and Aeration in Process Vessels

This article focuses on designing and analyzing a new method for mixing in process vessels. We propose using an air bubble curtain to accomplish the desired mixing. The used this study is made of empty pipe with several holes through which pumped, turn produces swarm bubbles that causes pseudo-turbulent tank filled liquid solution. A uniform distribution within was assured by maintaining see-saw movement curtain. Mixing inside quantified measuring salt concentration laboratory model (30 cm × 30 cm) pilot-scale (200 100 cm). optimal flow rates time both tanks can achieve complete were obtained from experimental results. proposed be potential use wastewater treatment, biotechnology, aquaculture where turbulent required minimum energy dissipation per unit mass.
